Command Set to Always Newest Version

Function: Depending on whether the References object is selected in the PLC project tree or a single library, the command sets all placeholders and libraries available in the project or the selected library or placeholder to “Always newest” version (“*”). This means that TwinCAT always uses the latest version of the corresponding library found in the library repository.

Call:

• Context menu of the References object in the PLC project tree for setting all placeholders and libraries available in the project to “Always newest” version
• Context menu of the library in the PLC project tree to set the selected library or placeholder to “Always newest” version

If you apply the command to all placeholders and libraries available in the project, the internally used libraries that are not listed in the references will also be set to the newest version (*).

Example: In a project, the library “Lib1” is used as “always newest” (“*”). In the library repository that uses development host A, library versions 3.0.0.0 and 3.1.2.0 are installed. The library repository of development computer B has the library version 3.0.1.0 installed.
If the described project is open on development computer A, version 3.1.2.0 of “Lib1” is referenced. If the same project is used on development computer B, library version 3.0.1.0 is used.
