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.
