Show Space Heaters Next to the Associated Plant Items in SLDs - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

In single line diagrams, you can show space heaters adjacent to their associated plant items. This procedure applies only to those space heaters that are represented by independent space heater symbols. For space heaters represented by nested symbols, see Use Compound Symbols for Space Heaters in SLDs.

1. Generate a new single line diagram. For more information, see Generating New Single Line Diagrams.

   OR

   Open an existing single line diagram. For more information, see Opening Existing Single Line Diagrams

2. Select Tools > Drawing Options.

3. On the Single Line Drawing Options dialog, select the Related Equipment tab.

4. Under Space heater options, select the Show space heaters next to associated plant items check box. (For details, see under step 5 below.)

   If you clear the Show space heaters next to associated plant items check box, the software does the following:

   • Space heaters connected to feeding equipment are placed under their feeding equipment.

   • Space heaters that are not connected are not displayed in the generated SLD drawing.

5. Under Space heater symbol displacement, type the values for the X: and Y: coordinates, and select the units required from the Units list.

   After selecting the Show space heaters next to associated plant items check box, the software will place the connected space heaters according to the following rules:

   • All the connected space heaters will appear next to their associated plant items.

   • The distance between the associated plant items and their space heaters is determined by the Space heater symbol displacement values that you enter.

   • In case of multiple space heaters associated with the same equipment, the displacement value refers to the distance to the adjacent space heater.

   • In case of multiple space heaters associated with the same equipment and the space heater is represented by a nested symbol, the nested symbol will show the space heaters included in the nested symbol and the rest of space heaters are shown using the associated symbol for space heaters.

   • In case of space heaters located within a PDB or cell, the space heaters will be shown regardless of whether the frames around the PDBs or cells are shown or not. For space heaters located within a PDB, the software will place the space heaters adjacent to the bus that has the lowest sequence in group value. For space heaters located within a cell, the software will place the space heaters adjacent to the circuit that has the lowest sequence in group value. The exact placement of the space heaters in the PDB or cell depends on the defined displacement values.

   • The software will not show any space heaters associated with a cell that contains no circuits.
