Creating Diagrams: Auto-Insert Buses/Substations
PowerWorld can store geographic latitude/longitude coordinates for bus and substation objects. You can automatically insert these objects into your system diagrams using either the specified geographic coordinates, or x/y coordinates imported from a file. Note: Auto-insert buses is only for inserting bus objects on the diagram representing existing data. In other words, you cannot use […]
