Category Visualization

	Scope of PLC project properties Note that the scope differs between different project properties! Some properties affect only the PLC project whose properties you are currently configuring. Other properties, on the other hand, affect all PLC projects in the development environment. Such properties, which you can change in the project properties of a PLC project, but which also affect all other PLC projects, are titled Solution options.

The category Visualization is used to configure the project-wide settings for objects of type Visualization.
