Going to a Line Number

If you know the number of the source-code line you want to find, you can use the Go To command to position the cursor on a specific line. Depending on whether the line number option is switched on or off (this is the default setting), you can specify to search for either a numbered line or a physical line. See also Program Editor Options in the Using Natural Studio documentation.

If you use the Go To command in source code where the specified line is within a collapsed code block, the block is expanded to show the required line. For more information on expanded and collapsed code blocks, see Showing and Hiding Source Code.
