Renaming States

By default, the first state is named state, the next is state_1, etc. You can change the names if you like, only keep in mind that each name has to be unique and ANSI C compliant.

  1. In the drawing area, select the state you want to rename.
  2. Double-click the state to open the State Editor.
  3. Enter a name in the State combo box.
  4. Click OK.

    If the name you entered is a reserved keyword, or not ANSI C compliant, a valid alternative is suggested.

  5. Confirm the error message and enter a valid name.

    If you have entered an existing name, the symbol _n is attached. n is the smallest unissued number for this name.

    The new name is shown in the state symbol.
