The Oneline Display Options dialog allows you to customize the display of the oneline diagram. You can access this display by right-clicking anywhere on an empty portion of a oneline and selecting Oneline Display Options from the resulting oneline local menu.

This dialog can also be display by going to the Options ribbon tab and choosing Oneline Display Options from the Oneline Options ribbon group.

This dialog houses pages that govern various aspects of the oneline display. See Animated Flows, Display Object Options, Display Options, Grid/Highlight Unlinked Objects, Geography/Coordinates, Memo, Pie Charts / Gauges, Thumbnail View, or Substations for information on the respective tabs. Older versions of Simulator used to support a movie maker tool useful with the onelines. See the Movie Maker topic for suggestions on what tools to use instead.

 

Save Options to Case

Of important note is the general option at the bottom of this dialog labeled Save Options to Case. What this allows you to do is define a set of oneline options in the dialog, and then save that definition of options in the case by giving the definition a name. Once you have named that set of options, you can recall it later by coming back to this dialog and choosing the name from the list of option set names that appears near the bottom of the dialog. You can define as many different sets of custom options as you wish. You can also use an option set saved with the case when you create a oneline view using the Save Views dialog.

Also note that once you have defined these sets of Saved Oneline Options, you can then quickly apply them to the active oneline diagram by using the Saved Options Menu on the Options ribbon tab.
