GX Works3: Transfer "common device comment" to PLC. What happens?

I thought that this might transfer comments to the PLC. I opened a new project and read everything out of the PLC but there was none.

Any ideas what it does and what's possible?

Strange it should have downloaded & uploaded the comments which we're entered for each device.

Thanks, Gambit, but it is not clear from your post. Did it fail to work for you? (You saved comments to the PLC but did not read them back?)

Sorry if this is really obvious and you already tried it but is Gx Works set to display comments in the display menu at the top? When you read a new file from the PLC it tends to reset all Gx Works settings.

Good idea. (I'm looking for the obvious!)

I've just remoted in to the site and tried it again. I can read the rung comments (the wide ones before each rung) but not the device comments, X0, M0, D0, etc. I may have failed to transfer the comments properly. I'll wait until I'm back on site rather than risk a botched transfer.

Thanks.
