Set Run/Debug Preferences

The Run/Debug preference settings affect the general behaviors for running a debug session.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select Preferences from the Window menu.

    The Preferences dialog appears.

  2. Navigate to Run/Debug.

    The Run/Debug Preferences dialog appears.

  3. Set the following options to suit your needs:
    Reuse editor when displaying PAD code

    Specifies the debugger to reuse the PAD Code View editor it opened to display the PAD code from different PAD files. This prevents the debugger from opening an excessive number of PAD Code View editors.

    Default: On

    Skip breakpoints during a 'Run to Line' operation

    Allows the debugger to ignore any breakpoints and continue execution when it is executing a Run to Line operation.

    Variables View changed value color

    Lets you reset the color that the debugger displays for changed values in the Variables view.

    Default: Red

    Note: The Diagram Trace Utility does not use the remaining options on this dialog.

  4. Click OK.

    The Diagram Trace Utility saves the new settings and closes the dialog.
