Logix 5000 FBD Sheet Size - PLCS.net

StoneCC · July 17th, 2009, 09:38 PM

I am currently faced with a issue regarding RSLogix 5000 V16, I am using function block diagrams for PIDE control of processes and I have built a standardized layout for the entire process based on an 11x17 Tabloid page size, the problem is when I create a new FBD Routine in Logix, the sheet size defaults to 8.5x11. at the moment I am able to take the processor down to add a new process, however the time when that Luxury will no longer be permitted is quickly aproaching. I am hoping that one of maestros of programming can enlighten me on this issue. Thanks in advance.

I don't see an option within the software but you can edit the registry setting.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rockwell Software\RSLogix 5000\FBD Editor

Open the Sheet size and change the value. In RSLogix, the top setting would be a value of 0. I choose a value of 4 to get 11x17.

I added the 0-4 to the example below for illustration.

Thank you for the help. I should have known to search through the registry first, even though an End user shouldn't have to do that to change an option.

Very helpful, thank you. I found that I had to create a new value since "Sheet Size" did not exist. Here are details (for anyone that runs into this situation):

1. Right click, New, DWORD Value
2. Name the value "Sheet Size"
3. Set the value as needed. In version 15, I had to use 2 for an 11x17 sheet.

Good day,

I know this is an old thread but I ran into this today. When I created a new sheet, it defaulted to 8.5x11 and I was unable to change it until I went offline.

HOWEVER, once I set it to 11x17, every time I create a new sheet online, this is the default it is set to, which for me is great. I also checked the registry and noticed it was set to "2".

This could also be because by v20, they finally corrected this?!?

It's an old post, but relevant to me today.

Still relevant even in 2022, alternatively you could have an exported blank sheet that you could import as the bigger sheet size.

Does anyone know that sheet size value in registry editor 34x44?

Tbonney · March 17th, 2023, 02:34 PM

I would just export a blank 34x44 on an offline program and import that file whenever you need it.

I can't seem to get the reg edit to work at the moment 1756-L82E rev 30.11. I probably have to restart for the changes to take effect, but that's tedious.

It is a bit wonky. It may be newer versions not playing well or ignoring this setting. But "7" is the option
