When placing a transformer plant item on an SLD composite drawing, the software allows you to do the following and behaves in the following manner:
-
You place a transformer on a drawing by dragging it to an open drawing from the Electrical Index or Electrical Engineer.
-
The software uses the default transformer symbol and default transformer component symbol to represent a two-winding or three-winding transformer that is not associated with a custom symbol.
-
The transformer and its components are placed as groups so that the transformer and its components are manipulated on a drawing as a single unit and their properties are refreshed after updating the transformer data.
-
After placing a transformer associated with a compound symbol, the software automatically associates the nested symbols with the transformer components.
-
You can dissociate a nested symbol from a transformer component if needed.
-
When dissociating a transformer from a symbol, you can use the Dissociate All Elements Including All Nested Elements shortcut menu command to automatically dissociates the transformer and its primary and secondary windings in a single action.
-
You can associate an unassociated transformer symbol with a plant transformer.
-
It is not possible to drag just a transformer component to a drawing.
-
You can place a transformer component symbol from the Catalog Explorer and associate this symbol with a plant item using the Find feature.
-
When placing a plant transformer or transformer component that is associated with a custom symbol, the software uses the associated custom symbol to represent the plant item on the drawing.
-
The software allows you to place a transformer and its components that are associated with a custom compound symbol.
