•
While editing CAD Drawings, viewing
the item properties of cross reference
bubbles will reveal the destinations of
matching cross reference bubbles by
performing an SQL search on the
Cross Reference Database.
Double clicking any item in the search
results grid will automatically load the
drawing and zoom into the matching
Cross Reference Bubble
New Tag Database Features

Bring your Tag Information
together with your CAD
documentation in a
seamless manner.
While editing CAD
Drawings, clicking on a
block with a Tag associated
with it, users have access
to ALL Tag Database
Fields for the block.

while editing the CAD
Drawing. Post the changes
automatically back into the
Tag Database
Import / Export Tag
Database into TTG files
(S1, S1U, T1, V1, X1, X2,
X2U, and COND21
Formats supported)

their location in the CAD
drawings
Build the Block Address Map
from either the Function Block
Database, a Configuration File
or the controlling module live
See conflicts immediately
between the Function Blocks in
the CAD drawings and the
module
Double click on any cell and
automatically load the CAD
drawing and zoom to the block
New CAD Item identification
•
•
•
Whenever a CAD drawing is
loaded by one of the
Databases by double clicking a
record, the Drawing will be
zoomed to the desired item
The item will then be briefly
illuminated by a red flashing
rectangle to orient the users
eye correctly on the item
The item may be re-flashed by
typing CTRL+F from the
keyboard while editing the
drawing
