Converting Background Lines<br />

Background lines can be converted to other objects by splitting, merging, or converting to power<br />

system objects. This can be done while in Edit mode. To convert a background line, right-click on a<br />

selected background line on the oneline display and the local menu will be displayed with the<br />

conversion options. Most options are available if only a single background line has been selected and<br />

no other objects are selected. The following options are available for converting a background line:<br />

Split Background Line<br />

A background line can be split at a vertex or anywhere along the line. Click the point on the line<br />

where the split should be made and then right-click and select the Split Background Line… option<br />

from the local menu. Two background lines will result. This option is available only if exactly one<br />

background line has been selected and no other objects have been selected.<br />

Merge Background Lines<br />

This option is only available if exactly two background lines have been selected. The two selected<br />

background lines will be merged at the two closest ends and a single background line will result.<br />

Convert to ac Transmission Line<br />

After selecting this option, the Branch Options dialog will be displayed. The dialog options can be set<br />

the same as they would be set when inserting an ac transmission line from the Insert menu. This<br />

option is available only if exactly one background line has been selected and no other objects have<br />

been selected.<br />

Convert to Bus<br />

After selecting this option, the Bus Information dialog will be displayed. The dialog options can be<br />

set the same as they would be set when inserting a bus from the Insert menu. This option is<br />

available only if exactly one background line has been selected and no other objects have been<br />

selected.<br />

Convert to Substation<br />

After selecting this option, the Substation Information Dialog will be displayed. The dialog options<br />

can be set the same as they would be set when inserting a substation from the Insert menu. This<br />

option is available only if exactly one background line has been selected and no other objects have<br />

been selected.<br />
