Set the default code editor

We recommend using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 or Microsoft Visual Studio Code as the default code editor.
TIP: Some development assistance features may not be available when using a different code editor.
Download and install the preferred code editor.
  1. In
    FactoryTalk Optix Studio
    , select cog.
  2. In the dialog, from the
    Preferred code editor
     drop-down menu, select an option.
    TIP: The
    Automatic
     option sets Visual Studio as the default editor. If Visual Studio is not available, Visual Studio Code is used as the default editor instead.
  3. Restart
    FactoryTalk Optix Studio
    .
