To produce a list of display objects and their distance from a point selected on the one-line diagram, go to the Onelines ribbon tab, then on the Active ribbon group choose GIS Tools > Closest Facilities to Point. After selecting this option, the mouse cursor will become a crosshair. Move the cursor to a location on the diagram and left-click. A dialog will open listing all of the display objects and their distance from the selected point in ascending distance from the point.
Select to Show Display Objects of Type
This allows the option of showing all display objects in one list or only listing objects of a particular type.
Distance
This field is listed by default with the display objects. This shows the distance between a given display object and the selected point. The location of the selected point is given by the X/Longitude and Y/Latitude fields on the dialog. The location of a given object is provided by the X/Longitude Location and Y/Latitude Location fields with the display object. The units of the distance is given in the Units field on the dialog.
X/Longitude and Y/Latitude
Each display object listed has a corresponding X/Longitude Location and Y/Latitude Location field. The X/Longitude and Y/Latitude fields given on the dialog provide the location of the point that was selected on the diagram. The fields on the dialog can also be manually adjusted to determine the distance between the display objects and a given coordinate.
All of the fields that give the location of either the display object or the point selected on the diagram are given in x,y coordinates if a valid map projection is not selected or the option to show coordinates in longitude, latitude is not selected. Otherwise, the coordinates will be longitude, latitude. Both of these options can be set from the Oneline Display Options dialog in the Geography/Coordinates category.
Units
This indicates the units that the distance is in. The units will be in PowerWorld units if a valid map projection is not selected or the option to show coordinates in longitude, latitude is not selected. Otherwise, the units will be in either miles or kilometers. To display the distance in miles, the option to use the English Measurement System must be selected on the PowerWorld Simulator Options dialog under the Environment category. Select Metric (SI) as the Measurement System to display the distance in kilometers.
Recalculate Distances
Click this button to recalculate distances after changing the coordinates of the selected point by entering new values for the X/Longitude or Y/Latitude fields.
