This procedure applies to Electric CE.
Multi conductors are a schematic way to display and label conductors. Conductors in a real world segment are only visible in the cross section. Use multi conductors to display the conductors in a schematic view along a path that is analogous to the actual segment where they are located. Use multi conductors in structure internals.
It is recommended that you use different multi conductor displays to represent conductors of different voltages.
To set multi conductor options, see Set Electric Options.
- Display the Electric Explorer.
- From the profile list at the top of the Electric Explorer, select the profile to use, for example Underground.
Profiles are created in Infrastructure Administrator . Profiles control the containers that are visible in the Electric Explorer. For more information, see Create Electric Explorer Profiles.
- In the Conductor container, click New
Digitize Multi Conductors. - Specify the number of conductors to create.
- Specify one of the following distribution layout styles:
- Symmetric—Conductor lines are evenly distributed on either side of the axis.
- Right—The first conductor is placed on the axis line. Other conductors are placed on the right side of the axis. The right side is determined based on the direction in which you digitized the axis.
- Left—The first conductor is placed on the axis line. Other conductors are placed on the left side of the axis. The left side is determined based on the direction in which you digitized the axis.
- Draw the axis line by specifying points on the line. Press Enter to complete the axis line.
The multi conductors are drawn. Start and end style and offset are specified in Industry Model Options. For more information, see Set Electric Options.
- Press ESC to complete the operation.
Multi conductors are grouped visually but they are standalone conductors.
