A transformer symbol is composed of two or more symbols, the transformer symbol and the transformer component symbols. After defining a symbol and its styles for the transformer symbol, you can define symbols and their styles for the transformer components. To do this you use the Define an Item Type Symbol command and specific parameters.

This procedure shows you how to define transformer component symbols for a two-winding transformer and a three-winding (left and right) transformer.

  1. Select Options > Item Type Symbology > Define to open the Define Item Type Symbology window.

  2. From the Item type list, select the item type Transformer Component.

  3. From the Document type list, choose the document type.

  4. Under Filter Name, select on an empty cell, and then on the ellipsis to open the Select Filter dialog.

  5. On the Filter dialog, create a new simple filter with the following properties:

    • Definition equals Match any

    • Property equals Secondary Element

    • Operator equals =

    • Value equals 0 (two-winding), 1 (left three-winding), 2 (right three-winding)

  6. Select OK to close the Filter dialog.

  7. Under Symbol File, select on the cell and choose the required Transformer Component symbol file.

  8. Under Initial Style, from the list choose a style.

    The Color, Width, and Pattern cells are filled with the default settings of the selected style.

  9. You can change the Color, Width, and Pattern, by selecting in their cells and choosing from the list the required value. The styles default setting will not be affected by these changes.

  10. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to move the row higher or lower. The higher the row is positioned, the higher the priority. The priority rules are set by the filter. The priority determines which rule applies first when rules conflict with each other. For example, filter A is the first row. The filter's rules state to use a red broken line to represent cables that are between 2 to 10 cm in diameter. Filter B is below filter A in the Define Item Type Symbology window and its rules state to use a blue continuous line when the cable is between 8 to 20 cm in diameter. If a cable is 9 cm in diameter the software assigns to the cable the symbol with the higher priority, in this case a red broken line.

  11. Close the Define Item Type Symbology window when you have completed defining symbols for the selected item type.
