slow down the program substantially. If you have a main oneline from which other onelines are
automatically opened, then you may want to prevent the main oneline from closing.
Minimum Screen Font Size
The minimum font size at which text is visible on the screen. When text is rendered to the screen,
any text which is smaller than this font size will not be rendered. This is useful when zooming out on
a oneline diagram where a lot of text might become cluttered or hard to read on the screen.
Minimum Print/Copy Font Size
The minimum font size at which text can be printed or copied. This is useful if the application or
printer you are sending to can or cannot display smaller fonts. When text is printed, any text which
is smaller than this font size will not be printed. Normally the Minimum Print/Copy Font Size is
smaller than the Minimum Screen Font Size because the resolution of the printed document is much
higher than the screen resolution.
Transformer Symbol
Since transformer representation varies in different countries, this option allows the user to
represent transformers as coils or circles. By default, transformers are represented as coils.
Line Navigation Arrows
These settings control whether the Pixel Size of the arrows, how long in seconds it should take to
pan to the line end locations, and whether to show navigation hints as your mouse hovers over the
arrow. See Oneline Zoom and Panning for more information.
Automatic Loading of Display Auxiliary File

File
This option is used options to automatically load a Display Auxiliary File (AXD) with one specific
oneline. This setting is stored in the case (PWB) so that it only applies to onelines opened with the
specific case.The file full path location has to be specified in the Display Auxiliary File box.
Automatic Loading of Display Auxiliary File with ANY oneline (Only saved to the Registry)
This option is used options to automatically load a Display Auxiliary File (AXD) with each oneline that
is opened. This setting is stored in the windows registry so this applies to all onelines opened on the
computer. The file full path location has to be specified in the Display Auxiliary File box.
Main Oneline File
This option is used to identify the primary oneline diagram to use with the case. The main oneline is
the file that is displayed when you first open the case. The dropdown box lists all the oneline files
that reside in the same directory as the case. Select one of these files, or enter the full path of the
oneline you want to use if it does not appear in the dropdown box.
Use Default Oneline File
You can command Simulator to open a particular oneline diagram file if it cannot find a oneline
diagram file for the case you are trying to open. For example, there is no oneline diagram associated
with a PSS/E raw data file when you first read it into Simulator. However, if your application is such
that you will always use the same oneline file whenever you open a PSS/E raw file, check the Use
Default Oneline File to have Simulator open the oneline identified in the Default Oneline File
box whenever it encounters a case that has no associated oneline. The default oneline must exist in
the same directory as the case you are trying to open.
