The Save View Level Dialog is used to save an (x,y) location and zoom level, contour description, and/or hidden layer application for a oneline diagram in an easily accessible list for quick recall and application to the diagram. This dialog can be called by selecting the Save/Edit/Delete View option from the oneline local menu.
You can also define a new layer by going to the Onelines ribbon tab, then on the Active ribbon group choose Save View > Save View.
This dialog can be used for creating a new view, editing an existing view, or deleting an existing view. The Save View Level Dialog has the following options:
This is the name that the view will be stored under in the saved view list. This must be a unique name for each view saved with the oneline diagram. By default this field is blank. To edit an existing view, choose the desired view from the drop down list.
If a view is named using a back-slash, a subfolder will be created in the list of views that is shown on the Onelines ribbon under the Save View dropdown. As an example, "New Folder\View Name", will create a subfolder with the name "New Folder" and this folder will contain the view with the name "View Name".
Save Display Information in View
When checked, the view will store an x-y coordinate and zoom level to associate with the view. When the view is selected for display, the diagram will center on the x-y coordinate at the defined zoom level.
X-Coordinate
The x-coordinate for the view. This value will default to the current x-coordinate for the oneline diagram, or will change to a saved value if a saved view is chosen from the View Name drop down list. This value can be modified by the user.
Y-Coordinate
The y-coordinate for the view. This value will default to the current y-coordinate for the oneline diagram, or will change to a saved value if a saved view is chosen from the View Name drop down list. This value can be modified by the user.
Zoom Level
The zoom level for the view. This value will default to the current zoom level for the oneline diagram, or will change to a saved value if a saved view is chosen from the View Name drop down list. This value can be modified by the user.
Save Contour Information in View
If a contour is being displayed when the view is created, you can choose to save the contour information with the view by checking this box. Saving a contour with a view will display that contour when you switch to that view. You also have the option of saving a blank contour with the view. This is indicated by a Contour Object of ‘None’ and a Contour Field of ‘None.’ If you save a blank contour, no contour will be displayed when switching to that view. If you don’t save any contour with the view, then any existing contour will be applied when switching to that view.
Contour Object
This section displays the type of object the stored contour pertains to. This field cannot be changed from this location.
Contour Field
Displays the type of value the stored contour pertains to. This field cannot be changed from this location.
Link to Oneline Display Options Settings
In the Oneline Display Options in Simulator, you can save various sets of options with a case for quickly recalling oneline diagram settings by name. This option allows you to include a custom defined option set by name with the current view. Note that you first must have created and saved a custom set of options for a diagram from the Oneline Display Options dialog before this option on the Save Views dialog will be enabled.
Since Simulator allows the use of layers to display or hide objects on the diagram, views also can optionally store the layer settings when the view is created. The window below this checkbox will list the layers that are presently hidden on the diagram. When this view is recalled, the layers in this list will be hidden if they were stored with the view.
Save
This button will save a new view or modify the values for an existing view of the name in the View Name field. If a view is named using a back-slash,\, a subfolder will be created in the list of views. As an example, New Folder\View Name, will create a subfolder with the name New Folder and this folder will contain the view with the name View Name.
Delete
This button will delete the currently open view from the saved view list. The dialog information will default to the saved view information of the previous view in the list.
OK
This button will save a new view or modify the values of an existing view of the name in the View Name field, and will close the Save View Level Dialog.
