Export Module Data to Word (.docx)
Previously, module data (States, Fluids, Parameters, Variables, Alarms, Interlocks, Control Loops, Dialogs) could only be exported to Excel or shared via templates. To create a formatted functional specification document, you had to manually copy data from Excel into Word.
Now, AseptSoft includes a dedicated Word export that generates a professional, ready-to-share .docx document directly from the Module Ribbon. The export dialog lets you:
-
Choose which data types to include or exclude
-
Reorder and filter individual fields per table by dragging them
-
Transpose tables (swap rows and columns)
-
Group data by category (e.g., group Parameters by Phenomenon)
-
Add an export comment embedded in the document properties
The exported document includes a title page, document metadata, and one formatted table per data type — with blue headers, clean borders, and actual color previews in color columns. Like all AseptSoft exports, it is cumulative — re-exporting updates the data while preserving your manual edits and formatting.

🖱️ Valve Hover Inspector
Previously, inspecting a valve's state required selecting it and opening the Status Editor or Live Edit panel. Checking how a valve behaves across multiple process steps meant navigating step by step.
Now, simply hover your mouse over any valve on the P&ID drawing to see a rich, interactive popup showing:
|
What You See |
What You Can Do |
|---|---|
|
Current state name, color, and percentage |
Instantly understand the valve's current configuration |
|
FLOW / BLOCK badge |
Know immediately whether fluid passes through |
|
States gallery (all compatible states) |
Click any state to apply it in one click |
|
Percentage slider (for modulating valves) |
Drag to set exact opening percentage |
|
Steps timeline across the entire process |
See how the valve behaves in every step at a glance |
|
Equipment module memberships |
Apply a module configuration to all grouped valves at once |
The feature supports three modes: Auto (always on), Ctrl+Hover (shows only when holding Ctrl/Alt), or Disabled. Colored bullet overlays appear at each valve position, giving a bird's-eye view of all valve states across the drawing.

🔀 Off-Page Connector Hover and Connectivity Bullets
Previously, checking whether Off-Page Connectors were correctly paired required running a simulation or manually comparing Tag/Bind values across drawings. There was no visual indicator of connection status.
Now, AseptSoft displays colored connectivity bullets at each OPC's position:
|
Bullet |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
🟢 Green |
OPC is connected — has a valid pair |
|
🔴 Red |
OPC is unconnected — no matching pair found |
Hovering over any OPC bullet shows a popup with full connectivity details — the current OPC's Tag, Bind, and PID, plus the partner's information if connected. For connected OPCs, a Navigate to Pair button lets you jump directly to the paired connector on the destination P&ID in one click.
For unconnected OPCs, the popup lists all other unconnected OPCs across open PIDs, helping you identify potential matches or spot misspelled Tag/Bind values.
The feature uses the same three modes as the Valve Hover Inspector: Auto, Ctrl+Hover, or Disabled.
