PDC.Switch to Desktop

Used to switch the View to a private Desktop (Hidden Desktop)

Intention

This Command will switch the View to a "private Desktop" (PD).
This way you can see whatever happens on that PD.

IMPORTANT:
Even if you Switch the View to a PD, all Robot-Commands will be executed on the Desktop where the Robot was originally started. This command does only switch the View.
