hmtoggle_plus1Comments
1.Node identifier is arbitrary; but can not be the same as an existing NODE identifier.
2.Common nodes may be defined with more than one block.
3.Common node identifiers are arbitrary and can not be the same as a NODE.
4.The CNODE will be merged to the nearest selected NODE or CNODE.
5.The CNODE merging will be done after each model transformation (/TRANSFORM).
6.In case a CNODE cannot be merged to any NODE or CNODE, it will be replaced by NODE.
