Create New Distribution Diagrams

Single Line diagrams may be created from the Load Detail and Supply Detail windows. Refer to Single Line Check Reports for Loads and Single Line Check Reports for Supplies for further details.

To create a new Key One Line diagram or Single Line diagram from the Distribution Diagrams List:

1. With the list open click New in the Records section of the Home tab to display the Distribution Diagram Information window:

   

2. Enter the document number of the new diagram and select the type of diagram.

3. If Single Line is selected, select the supply that the diagram is to be for from the Single Line for list:

   

4. If an intelligent drawing, that means a drawing of the KOL Designer Drawing type or SLD Designer Drawing type is required to be generated from the distribution diagram in Electrical Designer, check the Intelligent Drawing Required checkbox.

   If an non-intelligent drawing, i.e. a drawing of the KOL Distribution Diagram type or SLD Distribution Diagram type is required to be generated from the distribution diagram in Electrical Designer, check the Non-intelligent Drawing Required checkbox.

   Both checkboxes may be checked if required (or neither).

5. Click Save to create the diagram and add it to the list.

6. The diagram is then opened in a new window with the document number as its title. In the case of new Single Line diagrams, an automatically generated diagram is displayed, consisting of the supply that was selected as the subject of the diagram, its supply or supplies (where applicable) and its loads etc.

   

7. The diagram is generated using the default symbols specified for the project (refer to Pre-Defined Distribution Diagram Symbols and User-Defined Distribution Diagram Symbols). These may be changed to other (that means non-default) symbols and the layout of the diagram changed (although not the items on it or their relationships). Refer to View/Edit Distribution Diagrams.

8. In the case of a new Key One Line diagram, the window displays a blank drawing canvas. The content of the diagram must now be created by adding supply, load etc. symbols to the diagram and connecting them. When a load or supply symbol is added, a new item of equipment of the type represented by the equipment is created with default details. Refer to Create Content of Key One Line Diagrams.

   

9. Once the diagram has been created it may be edited in the same way as a Single Line diagram. Refer to View/Edit Distribution Diagrams.
