Qualified points and Expression lines

If you do not specify a project, the Base project is used.

If you change the Base project on the Chart tab of the CIMPLICITY Trend Control Properties dialog box and:

If a Point ID	Trending
Is fully qualified	Continues to draw the line using the same data source.
Is not fully qualified	Trending assumes the data is coming from the base project. If you change the base project, Trending attempts to find the point in the new base project.

This feature is useful if you have two or more projects with the same Point ID (for example, BLDG_1 project and BLDG_2 project) and you want to be able to switch between them.
