Auto One-Line Generation
The current way to build, edit, expand and communicate with the program applications is to use
Graphics Interface. To find, edit and simulate a small portion of a very large file, one needs the
proper tool to look at the portion of the network and perform analysis.

EDSA has developed a new powerful function called Auto-One-Line.

The “Auto-One-Line” feature handles projects with drawings (GUI) as well as projects that have
been built in text mode.

Following are some of the capabilities of Auto One Line:

• The project can be developed in graphics/GUI or text based

• The user can view a small part of the project network while considering the entire
project database (large project data base). This is not an equivalent network
• The new function allows user to: open, build, edit and communicate with the
project in text based or using the GUI
• No need to open large drawings with extensive information, which may not be
needed
• The user has the opportunity to select a bus, called “Neighborhood”, and ask the
program to draw one or several adjacent level buses or draw the entire network

Example:

Open a given project that is in text mode – IEEE39-1. By using the program “Text Editor” the
user has the opportunity to investigate the project database, make any changes or add new
network components to the existing project database.

There are two options to view a particular part of the project network:

• Launch any Paladin DesignBase application within the project text environment
• Ask the program to automatically draw the part of the network which is under the study

Using the second option, the user can select any Bus as a “Neighborhood” bus and with respect
to this bus instruct the program to consider one or several buses away from the “Neighborhood”
bus for automatic drawing.

In this example we consider the bus “T10SEC” as a “Neighborhood” bus:

The user can “Edit”, “Add”, “Copy” or “Delete” network components.

To generate the drawing of the network part that is of interest, enter “1” in the “Number of Levels
to Include” as shown in the figure capture above.

The program automatically considers all the network components that are one level away with
respect to the “Neighborhood” bus T10SEC. The user can select either IEC or ANSI symbols
and the page size, as shown below.

In this example, the ANSI symbol is selected:

The Page size selected is ANSI B:

The network drawing is automatically generated by the program based on the project database.
Notice that bus T10SEC is the “Neighborhood” bus and only the components one level away
from this bus are displayed:

7 buses out of 77 total buses

Further, the user can launch Power Flow, Short Circuit, etc., and instruct the program to display
the results either onto the drawing or as “Text Output Results”.

Power Flow results map displayed on the network drawing

(7 buses out of 77 buses)
