Smart Electrical publishes single line diagrams to ETAP using electrical analysis SLDs. After generating an electrical analysis SLD and saving it, ETAP will use its XML as the source for import.

Full publishing of SLDs to ETAP is when you publish all the existing electrical analysis SLDs in a single set of drawings. This set is identified as the complete SLD of the plant and it includes all plant items that constitute the electrical analysis SLDs.

The full publishing method enables you to create an indication in ETAP of items that have been deleted in Smart Electrical. When ETAP imports a full xml, the software compares the items that are included in the current session with the existing project as stored in the ETAP database and deletes all the items that are not found in the full xml that was used for import.

  • The data transfer between Smart Electrical and ETAP is based on the mapping table. Only those properties that have been mapped with the appropriate mapping direction are propagated from Smart Electrical to ETAP. See ETAP - Smart Electrical Mapped Items.

  • If you want to publish existing SLDs and make sure that you retain all the changes made since the last time these SLDs were published, you must open each SLD and save it prior to publishing. If you do not do that, the software will publish the updated items with inappropriate coordinates. As a result, ETAP will position these SLD items in inappropriate places on ETAP drawings.

  1. On the Smart Electrical menu bar, select Tools > ETAP Interface > Publish All.

  2. On the Publish to External Analyzing Tool dialog, save the file as an .xml file, which will be used by ETAP as an import source.
