Writing a new program, it's basically one already written, but has multiple repeats of the same PID loops, but for different zones. I note that if I cut a set of rungs via the drop down (got used to doing it his way due to the Do-more designer), and attempt to paste the rungs in a new task via the drop down, the Paste tool is ghosted out, while right-click and paste via mouse will work.

Found another. Change in the setting of column length will not take effect without leaving project. Had a rung that needed 11 inputs to the output; 12 columns. Started with an 8 column project, wrote inputs to the 8th column, went to Tools, Options, Ladder tab, and changed Size Option to 12; nothing changed. But, if I exited the project, and then opened it, I would gain just one column.

Help says this applies to Newly created tasks.
For a single rung that requires an extra column, I usually just Edit.Insert.Column or right-click.Insert.Column.

What version of the software are you using? I used version 2.2.2.1 and cut from the drop down 3 rungs with PID ladder and pasted into a new task with no issues via the drop down or via right click.

Using 2.2.1.1. I guess that's my issue. I just signed up for email of updates, since I had just upgraded to 2.2.1.1 - I think - 2 months ago.

Yeah, this email update service has been hit-or-miss (mostly miss) for me.
I 've signed up for cmore, click and PAC alerts. I haven't gotten the Click 2.x, PAC 2.x or a cmore 6.x alert.
I check the Software page often enough so I don't worry about it.
