Tutorial: Automatic Line Insertion Page 7 of 15
Transmission lines between buses can be inserted manually by choosing Network > Transmission
Line from the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab and clicking on the beginning
bus. Vertices may be defined along the way by clicking the mouse on the diagram where vertices
should appear. However when creating a case from an existing power flow file, you also have the
option to insert transmission line display objects automatically. To do this, select Auto Insert >
Lines from the Quick Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab. Accept the default options and click
OK. The lines joining the visible buses on the display are automatically added, along with circuit
breakers and pie charts, provided those options are set. Simulator will draw only transmission lines
that link buses that have already been drawn on the oneline diagram. If you add another bus to the
diagram, you can again auto-insert lines, and Simulator will only insert lines that are not already
present on the display.
