Some of the general features of Cscape include:
Project Navigator
 The project navigator makes it easier than ever to develop custom applications using Cscape™. The familiar Windows like explorer tree is both intuitive and user friendly.
The icons in the tree allows users to skip between the discreet application nodes while automatically opening whatever tool is appropriate for that object or control so developers can rapidly jump from one location to another.
There are a variety of device based templates which can be used as an application springboard and also sample code projects and tutorials.
Organizational Blocks
Ladder logic development takes a giant leap forward with the use of organizational blocks. 
Users of our previous tools will immediately note how the use of organizational blocks is a significant improvement. Now, it is far easier to visualize the entire logic chain. This is accomplished by splitting long lines of logic code into discreet chunks.
Organizational blocks make supporting and debugging far simpler as the learning curve is considerably less.
Scheduler Blocks
The use of scheduling blocks allows developers to create any number of time based events which can be used to do anything from generating end of week reports for senior management to complex minute by minute processes making this an extremely useful feature both in terms of functionality and for monitoring ongoing productivity.
The simple, easy to understand block based layout makes it easy for users to understand other developer's code, thereby simplifying maintenance and debugging.
Simplified Controller Configuration
It's easier to configure your particular OCS using Cscape's™ simplified Model Selection, with OCS  models grouped by family instead of a single list. Simply select the Horner product you intend on using and Cscape™ will automatically pre-configure the base application for you.
Plus you have all the benefits of past Cscape™ releases:
- Provides significantly faster online debugging
- Recipe Manager
- Dynamic Shape Attributes (circle, rectangle, line)
- Works with the Optional 4,000+ Graphical Library, Cscape™ with Symbols
- Graphical Gauge Object: Provides "Automotive" Style Gauges
- And much more.
