Show wiring using tags

are indicated by tags instead. Reduces wire clutter in
diagrams where source and destination are widely
separated.
Hovering the cursor over the tag shows both its source
and destination parameters and their values.
Hide unwanted connections
Causes the display to include only wired items.
Cut
Allows one or more selected items to be moved to the Clipboard ready for pasting into
another diagram or compound, or for use in a Watch window, or OPC scope. The original
items are grayed out, and function blocks and wires are shown dashed until next
download, after which they are removed from the diagram. Short cut = <Ctrl>+<X>. Cut
operations carried out since the last download can be ‘undone’ by using the ‘Undo’ tool
bar icon, by selecting ‘Undelete’ or by using the short cut <Ctrl>+<Z>.
