The WorkstationST application’s integration with CIMPLICITY Advanced Viewer was enhanced by adding a Drag
Variables To Screen shortcut menu item to CimEdit. This allows you to easily browse for ToolboxST variables and add
them to the CimEdit window without opening the ToolboxST application. This feature is only available with
CIMPLICITY V7.5 Advanced Viewer. To enable this feature, the WorkstationST* HMI feature must be enabled,
configured for HMI Graphics without a project, and downloaded to the computer.
