Display Explorer

The Display Objects case information display presents data describing each graphical object in the oneline diagram. This display functions in the exact same manner as the Model Explorer and is thus called the Display Explorer instead. The Display Explorer contains Case Information Displays and therefore can be used in a manner consistent with all other case information displays. It has a case information toolbar from which you can print, copy, and modify its records as well as view the information dialog of its associated power system object if it has any. You can also sort the object records by clicking on the heading of the field by which you want to sort. Additionally, when Simulator is in Edit Mode, the toolbar Records menu allows you to remove existing objects from the oneline diagram.

To show the Display Objects case information display, go to the Onelines ribbon tab, then on the Active ribbon group select List Display > All Display Objects.

 

As mentioned above, the Display Explorer functions identically to the Model Explorer. The only differences in functionality are due to additional options found on the bottom left of the dialog. This offers the following additional features.

Show Only Objects Selected

By checking this box, only the selected display objects currently selected in the oneline diagram will be shown.

How to List Grouped Objects

This specifies how to list grouped objects if there are any in the oneline diagram. The choices are to list individually the components of the group, to list only the groups, or to list both the individual elements and the groups. If there are not grouped objects in the oneline diagram, this control is disabled.

Save Complete Display to AXD

By clicking this button, all the objects that are shown in the case information display will be saved to a display auxiliary file.

 

By default, the display object records case information display contains the following fields:

Type

The type of display object.

X/Longitude Location, Y/Latitude Location

The x and y coordinates of the object’s location.

Center X/Longitude Location, Center Y/Latitude Location

The x and y center coordinates of the center location of an object. Changing these values will update the X/Longitude and Y/Latitude fields.

Layer Name

The layer name to which the display object is assigned.

Layer Shown, Selectable in Edit Mode, Low Zoom Level, High Zoom Level

These fields only display information about the layer to which the display object belongs. Therefore, the values for these fields can only be modified through the Screen Layer case information dialog or the Screen Layer dialog.

Anchored

This field indicates whether or not the display object is an anchored object. If the display object can not be an anchored object, then the field is empty.

Font Size

For text objects, this field shows the font size.
