create enum type def from bd constant

[GregFreeman]

All the time I make type def enum's in order to use with a state machine. Most of the time I create the enum from the block diagram instead of the fp. Maybe I should change my habit but I wish there was a "create type def" option on the bd right click menu so I didnt have to change to control, switch to fp, customize, then change back to constant.

Goodness, I even did two searches. I give up

[JackDunaway]

The search is sensitive to plurality ("typedefs" returns a different resultset than "typedef") and does not honor synonyms ("typedef" - one word - returns a different resultset than "type def" - two words). Laura is aware of these limitations, and better search capability is on the web team's immediate radar.

No need to give up! Just need to be clever by tricking the search engine into helping you 😉
