Is it possible with a BRX to copy portions of the ladder program? If so, how?

    You can highlight + copy and then paste it somewhere else in the same instance of the software. You can also paste it into a different running instance. It will give you some options on how you want to handle the naming, etc..

    In addition to rung(s) (Shift+Arrow selection), you can also cut/copy/paste...

    Instruction : click on any instruction and copy/cut it (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X), then paste it (Ctrl+V) wherever you want. If you try to Paste on top of an existing instruction, it will prompt you if how to insert or replace.

    Code Block : In the Project Browser, right click on a code-block, and select copy/cut. To paste it into another project - in the 2nd project, make sure you are in Edit mode, then right click on the Project Browser under the Control Logic sub-tree and select Paste.

    Also, the clipboard format supports TEXT format, which you can paste into NOTEPAD to look at the details.
