Add a Line Breakpoint

You can set a line breakpoint on an executable statement associated with a line of code in an Action Diagram. A line breakpoint, when enabled, suspends program execution before a specified statement in the code is executed. The line where the breakpoint is set is highlighted in the PAD Code View editor. The current stack trace is displayed in the Debug view.

Perform one of the following steps:

• Place your cursor on the vertical ruler in the PAD Code View editor directly to the left of the line in which you want to add the breakpoint, and select Toggle Line Breakpoint from the Run menu.
• Double-click the mouse on the vertical ruler to the left of the line in which you want to add the breakpoint.
• Place your cursor over the vertical ruler, right-click, and select Toggle Breakpoint from the pop-up menu.

Note: When you add a breakpoint, it is enabled by default.
