Focus on Selection Made in another Window

When you make a selection of an event in another window (for example, the Work Agenda) and click the Viewer Focus button, the Viewer will find the device and focus the drawing area on it.

Using Feeder Focus

The Viewer's Feeder Focus feature traces from a selected device back to its feeder breaker and to all downstream devices on the same feeder.

Note: Feeder Focus uses the real-time status or the status from the current study session. It does not display devices that may be part of the feeder in the nominal configuration but not currently part of the feeder.

Feeder Focus should not be used at times of heavy system activity such as those that occur when there are many outages in the system caused by major events and storms.

To use the Feeder Focus feature, complete these steps:

1. Select a device in the Viewer drawing area.

2. Select Feeder Focus from the Actions menu or press the F key (the keyboard shortcut). All symbols disappear except the feeder the device is on.

3. To turn Feeder Focus off and show all the symbols again, press F.

Unlike tracing, no other electrical devices are shown except those on the selected feeder. The Feeder Focus will not include de-energized downstream devices. Feeder Focus displays background layers that have been enabled with the Hide/Display dialog box. While in Feeder Focus, you can use Hide/Display, Declutter, and Big Symbols.
