I am trying to clean up a project by creating a UDT that I will reuse, and while I was creating the UDT tags I got to a 2 dimensional array, and the UDT editor does not seem to accept anything more than the first dimension.

Is there a trick to get this to work, or are multi-dimensional arrays not allowed in UDT's?
 
This is the answer that i got from the Allen Bradley knowledge base

"By design, arrays within a UDT structure can only be 1-dimension"
 
One way around it is to create a seperate UDT which is a single dimension array.

Inside your target UDT make a single dimension array of that seperate UDT type. The seperate indexes will be in sections of the final tag seperated by a period but it will work.
