Excel is hard to use for this
A spreadsheet is a poor place to keep a drawing, nodes, and callouts together.
A tool we built. Not a public product.
Anonode
An all-in-one P&ID annotation tool for node reviews. A tool we built. Not a public product, and not a free signup.
Paste or upload a P&ID, mark nodes and subnodes, add colored callouts, and export a named PDF. Page display names stay separate from the P&ID number.
Screenshots below use an original fictional demonstration drawing labeled DEMO-201 and NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION. No client drawing and no private account data.
The problem
Node reviews often get stuck in tools that fight the work.
PDF markup tools take too long and lack consistency
Marks, page names, and exports end up different from one review to the next.
Legacy software is expensive and not user friendly. Firms pay for a heavy package that people avoid using.
What it looks like
The review stays in one place
Anonode keeps the review in one place: paste or upload a drawing, place nodes and markups, rename page display names and markup labels (display names stay separate from the P&ID number), and export a named PDF. The pages sidebar can collapse when you need drawing space. It is not a full HAZOP platform.
Paste or upload P&IDs into a review. Place nodes and subnodes on the drawing. Add colored markups with a legend.
Rename page display names and markup list entries without changing the P&ID number. Collapse the pages sidebar when you need drawing space, then bring it back. Export a named page PDF, or export all pages as a zip.
Anonode is not a full HAZOP platform. It is a focused annotation and export tool for node-style drawing reviews.
