Creating a State Machine

1. In the "Database" or "Workspace" list, select a folder for the new state machine.

2. Do one of the following:

   • In the Insert menu, select State Machine.
   • Click the Insert State Machine button.

   The new state machine is created with a default name and layout.

   Note
   For workspaces, the length of the path is limited to 180 characters. When the path of the new component would exceed that length, an error message opens and the procedure is aborted.

3. Edit the name and press <Enter>.

4. Do one of the following:

   • In the menu bar, point to Edit menu and select Open Component.
   • Press <Return>.
   • In the "Database" / "Workspace" list, double-click the state machine name.

   The state machine editor opens. By default, the state diagram is open and the operator buttons on the toolbar are disabled. A state diagram does not contain operators.
