The software allows you to control the placement of incomer and feeder circuits on bus sections in a generated SLD drawing. You control this placement by selecting a method for the circuit positions on the bus symbols in the drawing. The placement depends on the sequence in group values of each circuit. You can either place the incomer circuits on the first bus section followed by the feeder circuits or place the incomer and feeder circuits continuously depending on their sequence in group values.

  1. Generate a single line diagram. (For details, see Generating New Single Line Diagrams.)

  2. On the Single Line Diagram Options dialog, select the Buses tab.

  3. In the Display options group box, select one of the following methods that control the placement circuits on the bus symbol in the generated SLD drawing:

Position the incomers and feeders by showing the incomers on the first page and first bus section

  • Allows you to set the position of the incomers and feeders on the bus using the sequence in group values in such a way that the incomer and feeder circuits in the group are counted separately. Selecting this option always results in placing the incomer circuits on the first page and on the first bus section. The number of bus sections, in this case, is determined only by the number of feeder circuits that are defined for that bus.

Position the incomers and feeders by their sequence numbers

  • Allows you to set the position of the incomers and feeders on the bus using the sequence in group values in such a way that all the incomer and feeder circuits in the group are counted together in a continuous manner. Selecting this option results in placing the incomers and feeders on bus sections based on the sequence in group values of the incomers and feeders. The number of bus sections, in this case, is determined by the total number of feeder and incomer circuits on a particular bus.

  • Note that bus risers and couplers are always displayed on the same page adjacent to each other.

  • To ensure that all the circuits are placed correctly, all the circuits must have sequence in group values. The software places the circuits that do not have sequence in group values first and only then the rest of the circuits.

  • For manual SLDs, the Position the incomers and feeders by their sequence numbers option is not available. So when generating a manual SLD, the software positions the incomers and feeders on the first page of the drawing and on the first bus section.

  1. Continue setting your options for the SLD generation as you require.
