The Transfer Route Queries

You may not know about this although it has been possible for a long time
If you draw a diagram that shows connections between units via common resources there are standard queries that can show a table of the routes, including those that go from unit to unit (single level) , those that go from onne unit to via another unit to the last unit (2 levels) and those that go from a unit to another via two units (3 levels).
The diagram below show a simple example.
For convenience the single level and two level queries are also shown on this diagram using FAV: UserQuery special objects.

New - Tag Balloons

The latest version of ControlDraw provides a new way of attaching text to symbols, these are call Tag Balloons and are based on the ISA tag symbols for P&ID's. The picture below shows how to set them and the styles. Click to enlarge. You can now set the tagname to appear separately from the object in a variety of shapes as shown above. You can then drag the tagname to position it relative to the object.

Tag balloons are auto sized and split the first letters before the number part and the remainder.

The position of the tag balloon is stored relative to the object so you can use Copy and Paste Object properties to set other tag balloons the same - just click the Appearance button in Paste Object properties.
