Zone Fields on Onelines
Zone field objects are used to show different values associated with zones and the system. This dialog
is used to view (and in a few cases modify) the parameters associated with these zone fields. To reach
this dialog, select Field > Zone Field from the Individual Insert ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab
and click the desired field location on a oneline diagram in Edit Mode, or right-click on an existing zone
field on a oneline diagram.
Zone Number
Zone number associated with the field. When you insert fields graphically, this field is automatically
set to the zone number associated with the closest bus on the oneline. With most types of zone
fields, a Zone Number of 0 is valid and defines the field as showing values for the entire system.
Find…
If you do not know the exact zone number you are looking for, you can click this button to open the
advanced search engine.
Total Digits in Fields
Total number of digits to show in numerical fields.
Digits to Right of Decimal
Number of digits to show to the right of the decimal point in numerical fields.
Rotation Angle in Degrees
The angle at which the text is to appear on the oneline diagram.
Other Zone Number
Some of the fields, such as MW Flow to Other Zone, require that a second area be specified. If
applicable, enter the second (other) zone here.
Delta per Mouse Click
This value is used only with the Sched Flow to Other Zone field type. When there is a nonzero
entry in this field, and the field type is Sched Flow to Other Zone, a spin button is shown to the
right of the zone field. When the up spin button is clicked, the flow to the other zone is increased by
this number of MW; when the down button is clicked, the scheduled flow is decreased by this
amount.
Field Value
Shows the current output for the zone field. Whenever you change the Type of Field selection, this
field is updated.
For the Sched Flow to Other Zone field type only, you can specify a new value in MW. Exports
are assumed to be positive.
Field Prefix
An optional string that precedes the field value.
Anchored
If the field is associated with a Zone Object on the diagram, the field can be anchored to the object
so that if the object gets moved on the diagram, the field will move with it.
