Object Gallery Types

Gallery

Description

Basic

Standard geometric shapes such as rectangles, circles, triangles, clouds, and other shapes.

Flowchart

Objects that demonstrate directions, processes, and functions found in standard flowcharts.

Arrow

Geometric arrows that represent paths that flow left, right, and both. You can use arrows to show power flow or to show connections to substations. They differ from the Arrows gallery in that they offer different geometric types and sizes while the Arrows gallery contains fixed arrow heads for placement at the end of a bus or line.

Container

Boxes that hold other objects or diagrams and can be moved on the canvas collectively as one group. You can drag and drop objects into an existing container to include those objects in the collective group. A container can be static, or it can be collapsible, allowing you to click the top-right corner arrow to collapse the container and hide its contents. Since a container holds multiple objects as one collective group, you can use it for free-form drawing of the entire set of objects and for adding notes, secondary One-Line diagrams, and reference charts.

Electrical

Symbols that represent electrical components such as busses, switches, breakers, transformers, and other electrical objects.

Arrows

Standard up, down, left, and right arrows you can connect to the end of a bus or line. They differ from the Arrow gallery in that they are fixed arrow heads for attaching to other objects while the Arrow gallery contains geometric arrows of different types and sizes.

Miscellaneous

Objects that serve special purposes, including:

• Labels that function as standard text labels

• Label values that include not only the label but also data values from a specified data source

• Buttons that can link to other diagrams
