The software provides the ability to convert a conventional single line diagram to a composite SLD. At the end of the conversion process, the software creates a new composite SLD and retains the original conventional drawing intact. The newly created drawing becomes a fully functional composite SLD.
The conversion process entails the following:
-
All the graphical elements and their positions are retained with the following exceptions:
-
PDBs are represented by a rectangle with text. The associations with plant items are retained.
-
Buses are represented by lines with text. The associations with plant items are retained.
-
Cells are represented by a rectangle with text. The associations with plant items are retained.
-
-
All the associations of graphical elements with plant items are retained.
-
All the cables are converted to cable symbols with connectors.
-
All the labels and symbols and their associations are retained.
-
Redlining elements are retained on the redlining layer of the new composite drawing.
-
All document revisions of the original drawing are retained and archived revisions can be viewed.
The name of the new composite drawing is the same as the original conventional drawing name followed by a sequence number.
The new composite drawing is attached to a composite drawing template that has the same name as the conventional drawing template. If such a template is absent from the folder specified in Options Manager Locations window, the software attaches the new composite SLD to the default composite SLD template.
