Line Fields on Onelines
Run Mode
Right clicking on the line field gives you the option to open either the dialog for the field or the dialog for the object associated with the field. The following options are available depending on the type of line object being clicked on:
Transmission Line
Options are available for opening either the Line Field Information Dialog or the Line/Transformer Dialog.
DC Transmission Line
Options are available for opening either the DC Line Field Information Dialog or the DC Line Dialog.
Multi-Section Transmission Line
Options are available for opening either the Multi-Section Line Field Information Dialog or the Multi-Section Line Dialog.
Edit Mode
To enter a new line field, select the following options based on the type of line field being inserted. These options are found on the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab:
Transmission Line
Field > Transmission Line Field
DC Transmission Line
Field > DC Transmission Line Field
Multi-Section Transmission Line
Field > MS Transmission Line Field
After selecting the appropriate option, then click near the line object to which you want to add the field. You can also add a field without a corresponding display object being present. The appropriate line field dialog will open. Enter the near and far bus number associated with the device (the default values for these fields correspond to the device on which you clicked) and the circuit number of the device.
To modify the parameters of an existing line field, position the cursor anywhere on the object and right-click. This again brings up the appropriate line field dialog. Select from the Formatting ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab to change many of the line field's display attributes.
Another way to add line fields to the oneline entails right-clicking the line and selecting Add New Fields Around Line from the resulting local menu. Please see Inserting and Placing Multiple Display Fields for more details.
