Manual SLDs are single line diagrams that you generate using a blank template. First you drag the items you want in your SLD onto the template and position them on the drawing.

You can only place root items on the drawing. A root item can be any power source items such as bus, converting equipment, generator, and battery bank.

Then, you set the generation options to define the electrical items that serve as the initial points or sources of your SLD, define the SLD page and display settings, as well as the definitions for the display of circuits and circuit components.

  1. In the Electrical Index, expand the Documents folder.

  2. Right-click the Single Line Diagrams folder, right-click and then select New Manual SLD.

  3. Select the new SLD in the Single Line Diagrams folder, and select File > Open > SLD. Alternately, you can right-click the new SLD, and select Open.

  4. From the Electrical Index, drag and drop onto the opened template the items you want in your SLD.

  5. Select Tools > Drawing Options.

  6. On the Single Line Diagram Options dialog, define the options you require for your SLD template. For more information, see Single Line Diagram Options Dialog.

  7. Select Generate.

  • After generating the SLD, you can save the SLD as an internal drawing in the system or as an external drawing using the Save As command. You can generate as many SLDs for the same item as needed. If you want to regenerate an open SLD drawing using different generation options, with the SLD open, select Tools > Drawing Options.

  • In order to save an annotation that was added to a manual SLD, make sure that first you select Generate on the Drawing Options dialog and only then save the drawing. This way, the software saves the SLD together with the inserted annotation.
