Project toolbar

The Project toolbar is at the top of the user interface. This toolbar has several kinds of buttons, such as debug buttons, general buttons, and processing and analysis buttons.

Debug toolbar buttons

The debug toolbar buttons help you run the flowchart and access results, as well as help you test and debug.

Toolbar button	Name	Shortcut key	Description
	Abort step	None	Forces a timeout on the selected step, halting the running project. This option is only available after you attempt to pause the project and the attempt fails (for example, while waiting for a triggered grab).
	Next step	F10	Runs the step highlighted with the execution marker. In the flowchart and step log, the execution marker advances to the next step.
	Pause	Shift+F5	Stops the running project temporarily.
	Pause on step	None	Stops the project when it reaches the selected step. This option is only available if the project is currently running and a step is selected. Once the project is paused, the execution marker moves to the selected step.
	Quick Run mode	None	Switches into or out of Quick Run mode. Being in Quick Run mode allows you to test the parts of your project that are in a Quick Run Group. Additional Quick Run options include Create Quick Run Group, Add to Quick Run Group, Remove from Quick Run Group, and Leave Quick Run Mode.
	Rerun step	F9	Reruns the selected step once. The execution marker remains on the selected step. Unless the selected step is a Camera step, rerunning the selected step will not grab or fetch the next image.
	Reset	Ctrl+Shift+F5	Sets the execution marker back to the top of your project and resets all counters.
	Run	F5	Runs the project from the execution marker. Your project will continue to run until you click on the Pause on step toolbar button in the Project toolbar.
	Run to selected step	F6	Runs the project from the current step to the selected step. The execution marker will be on the selected step. If you have not yet run your project, it runs from the beginning. If the selected step is in a branch of a condition that is never reached, the project will continue to run until you click on the Pause on step toolbar button or a Halt step is encountered. To ensure that the selected step is run, use Quick Run mode. The Run to selected step toolbar button is only available if the project is not running and a step is selected.
	Step into next	F11	Steps into the subflowchart step following the execution marker. The execution marker advances into the subflowchart. This option is only available when the step that follows the execution marker in the project is a subflowchart.

The Debug menu or the Interface Actions pane can have additional debug options, such as Run faster () and Run slower (), which let you increase (Alt+Up) or decrease (Alt+Down) the speed at which your project runs. These options are only available when there is a running project.
