PRJ - Create/Open Project
|
- Column B: Contains the function code PRJ.
- Column C: Contains the name of the project that will be
opened or created. If you enter only the project name the software will use the
default project folder specified in the
OpenUtilities Substation
Setup dialog. You can also enter a complete path for
the project if you wish to use a different folder.
- Column D: contains the name of a project from which the
project settings will be taken. It's useful to define a master project with all
necessary project parameters and use it here. This eliminates the need to
define all the project parameters in the Project API
Builder command file. If you leave the field blank, the software will
use the default settings for new projects.
- Column E: This column contains the Workspace name.
- Column F: This column contains the Workset name.
- Column G: This column and above can contain project
descriptions. You can enter as many descriptions as you wish.

MAC - Insert Macro
|
With this function you can
insert a macro in a drawing.
- Column B: Contains the function code MAC.
- Column C: Macro name.
- Column D: Macro insertion point x coordinate.
- Column E: Macro insertion point Y coordinate.
- Column F: Macro insertion point Z coordinate.
- Column G: Snap to Grid. 0 = No; 1 = Yes.
- Column H: Device ID update mode. This setting determines how
IDs and wire numbers are updated on macros when they are placed on the page.
This setting will override the setting in the PAG function for this particular
macro. Enter one of the following values (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32):
- 0 = Maintain
Nothing
- 1 = Maintain
Device ID Tag Only
- 2 = Maintain
Wire Number Tag Only
- 4 = Maintain
Wire Link Tag Only
- 8 = Maintain
Device ID Complete
- 16 =
Maintain Wire Number Complete
- 32 =
Maintain Wire Link Complete
- Column I: Allow sub-ID. If a device ID is assigned that
belongs to a family that is already full, this setting allows the new item to
be added to the family as an auxiliary child (sub-ID).
- 1 = Allow
sub-ID.
- 0 = Do not
allow sub-ID (device ID will contain a "?").

TXT - Replace Texts
|
With this function, you can
exchange various kinds of texts in a project with new values. You can enter
codes to specify the type of texts that are to be replaced. If used after the
MAC function, the TXT function will only affect the macro that was placed. You
can reset the TXT function so that it affects the entire project by using the
SPARE function.
- Column B: Contains the function character TXT.
- Column C: #_OldText where # is the selection code that
determines which type of text is to be replaced and OldText is the existing
text to be replaced. See the section below for an explanation of the selection
code.
- Column D: The new text string that is to replace the old
text.
- Column E: The connection point and device ID replacement
method. Enter one of the following values:
- 0 = Question
mark on error.
- 1 = Try
alternate child on error.
- 2 = Force
new sub-ID on error.
- Column F: Text attribute name. If you wish to limit the
replacement to a single text attribute enter the attribute name here.

Selection Code
|
This number, used in the TXT
function, defines the categories of text that will be included in the
replacement. It consists of a number between 1 and 4095. Examples:
- 4_F1 means
search for device ID F1
- 2048_X1:100
means search for the terminal block X1:100
You can combine multiple categories into a single code
number by adding two or more codes and using that value. Example:
- 96_Stop means
search Symbol text and Free texts for "Stop." (32+64=96)
The following are the individual codes:
- 1 Installation
- 2 Location
- 4 Device ID
- 8 Part Number
- 16 Connection
Point
- 32 Symbol Text
- 64 Free Texts
- 128 Potential
Number
- 256 Logical
Field Texts
- 512 Title Block
Texts
- 1024 Cable Texts
- 2048 Terminal
Blocks
- 4095 All
information that can be found in the project

SPARE - Reset the TXT function
|
When you use the TXT function
following the MAC function, the TXT function will only apply to the last macro
that was placed. By putting the SPARE function in the list of functions, the
TXT function will be reset so that it applies to the entire project.

reduced (0.5 for half size) or enlarged (2 for double size).
- Column I: Symbol rotation value.
- Column J: Mirror symbol:
- 0 = No

- 1 = Mirror
on X axis
