1.3 Análisis de otras soluciones existentes
PSS/ADEPT provides many options for customizing the diagram display to accommodate your work preferences. You can hide and dock views, float a view in the application window, zoom in and out, and scale/offset all coordinates in a diagram. By default, the Tree and Progress Views are docked to the main application window. The Diagram View always displays in the main application window and may not be hidden or docked elsewhere; it may, however, be minimized or maximized.
2.14.1 Hiding Views
To hide the Equipment List View, Progress View, the Status Bar, and/or a toolbar in the diagram:
1. Choose View from the Main Menu. The drop-down View Menu displays.
2. Click any or all of the view options: Network Tree, Progress Window, and/or Status Bar, in the drop-down menu. If a view option, (for example, Network Tree) is checked, the view displays; if a view option is not checked, the view does not display.
2.14.2 Docking Views
The Tree and/or Progress Views can be attached or "docked" to any side of the application window.
By default, the Tree View is docked to the left side of the application window, and the Progress View is docked to the bottom of the application window.
To dock a view to any side of the application window:
1. Right-click anywhere in the view you want to dock. A pop-up menu displays.
2. Click Allow docking to remove the check mark and display the view contents in a small window. Notice the border at the top of the small window (the color of the window border depends on your current desktop settings).
3. Right-click in the small window to display the pop-up window.
4. Click Allow docking.
5. Click on the border of the small window and drag it to the side of the application window until you see its frame change.
6. Release the mouse button to dock the view. For example, Figure 2-23 shows the Progress View docked at the bottom of the application window, which is the default setting.

Zoom Extent: Choose this option to change the view of your diagram to one which contains all of your network without white space.
Zoom Previous: Choose this option to restore the zoom level to what it was previously.
2.14.5 Scaling/Offsetting Diagram Coordinates
You can scale all node coordinates by some factor. This will result in nodes being spaced farther apart (for values > 1.0) or closer together (for values < 1.0). Additionally, you can offset all x- and/or y-coordinates by some number of inches on the diagram. This number can be positive or negative.
Since the origin (0, 0) is located at the bottom left corner, a positive value for x will shift all nodes to the right and a positive value for y will shift all nodes upward.
To scale or offset the x- and y-coordinates for all items on the diagram:
1. Choose Diagram>Adjust Coordinates... from the Main Menu. The Adjust Coordi-nates dialog displays (Figure 2-27).
Figure 2-27. Adjust Coordinates Dialog
2. Enter any scaling factor and/or x- and y-coordinate offsets you want:
Scale by: Specify the number by which both x- and y-coordinates will be multiplied.
Offset x-coordinates by: Specify the number (positive or negative) that will be added to all x-coordinates.
Offset y-coordinates by: Specify the number (positive or negative) that will be added to all y-coordinates.
3. Click the OK button to make the specified adjustments.
2.14.6 Panning the Diagram
Scroll bars on the diagram display have been replaced by a panning tool.
To navigate the diagram either horizontally or vertically:
1. Click the Pan button on the Zoom Toolbar.
2. When the mouse is placed over the Diagram View, it will change to a Pan button. Left click anywhere on the diagram and drag the entire display to a different position in the window.
2.14.7 Navigating Using the Mouse Wheel
If you mouse has a navigation wheel, you can use it to navigate through the diagram. Scroll the mouse wheel to pan the diagram view up or down. Hold the Shift key down while scrolling to pan the view left or right. Hold the Ctrl key down while scrolling to zoom in or out.
The diagram window must have the focus to receive mouse wheel events. If nothing happens when you scroll the mouse wheel, left-click once in the diagram window to give it the focus.
2.14.8 Centering Items in the Diagram View
To center an individual item or a group of items in the diagram:
1. Select the item(s) you want to center.
2. Right-click on the diagram and choose Center from the pop-up menu.
2.14.9 Saving Diagram Views
You can save diagram views and restore them at any time. Views that you have previously saved will be stored within a PSS/Adept native file (*.adp). To save a diagram view, select Saved Views…
from the View menu. The Saved Views dialog displays (Figure 2-28).
Users Manual Adjusting the PSS/ADEPT Display

To restore a view:
1. Select the view you want to restore from the list provided.
2. Click the Restore button.
Click the Close button to return to the diagram.
2.14.10 Working with Layers
The diagram view is capable of showing many layered images. The simplest way to visualize a layer is to imagine that the diagram is comprised of an infinite number of clear mylar sheets stacked on top of one another. Each single sheet of mylar constitutes one diagram layer. Diagram layers can be visible, hidden, or visible or hidden dependent on the current zoom level setting.
Each diagram contains a minimum of two layers: Layer 0 (the background layer where imported images are assigned) and Layer 1 (the default layer where all non-image diagram components (net-work items) are assigned). You can create any number of additional layers to the diagram.
When images are imported into PSS/Adept, they can be assigned to a diagram layer giving you flex-ibility for showing and hiding specific images on the diagram. If you want to use this feature, first add the layers for each image file you want to import. Refer to the "Importing and Exporting Image Files" section to import the image and assign a specific layer to it. Once the image is imported and assigned to a layer, you have full control of the properties for each image such as when you want the image to be shown on the diagram. You can set the image to be visible, hidden, or only shown at a certain specified zoom level.
In this version, layer assignment is restricted to imported images only.
To modify one or more diagram layers:
1. Select Layers… from the Diagram menu. The Layers dialog displays (Figure 2-29).
Figure 2-29. Layers Dialog
2. Select the layer that you want to modify from the list on the left side of the dialog. The properties of the layer will be disabled until a layer is selected.
3. Modify the layer properties.
Description: Enter a description for the diagram layer to help identify its characteristics.
Visible: Select this button to make the selected layer visible.
Hidden: Select this button to make the selected layer hidden.
Zoom Dependent: Select this button to make the selected layer visible or hidden based on a specified zoom level. If you select a layer that is zoom dependent, specify the maximum and minimum zoom levels to use to toggle the visibility in the boxes pro-vided.
Default layer: Check this box to make the selected layer the default layer. The default layer will automatically be set to Layer 1.
4. Click the Apply button to update the diagram.
Users Manual Adjusting the PSS/ADEPT Display
To add a new diagram layer:
1. Click the Add… button. A new layer will be added to the list.
You cannot modify the name of a layer.
2. Modify/select the properties for the new layer.
3. Click the Apply button to update the diagram.
To remove a diagram layer:
1. Select the layer you want to remove in the list provided.
2. Click the Remove button. The layer will be removed from the list.
3. Click the Apply button to update the diagram layers.
2.14.11 Importing and Exporting Image Files
You can import files of the following types into the diagram: .bmp, .jpg, .gif, and .png. Once an image is imported, it becomes a diagram item that can be selected, moved, double-clicked to show its properties. Image files may also be assigned to a specific diagram layer.
To import an image file:
1. Select Import Image… from the Diagram menu. The file selector will display allowing you to select the file type and name of the file you want to import.
2. Select OK. The image file will be imported and placed on the diagram.
To modify the properties of an image:
1. Double-click on the image or right-click on the image and select Properties… to dis-play its property sheet (Figure 2-30).
Figure 2-30. Image Property Sheet
2. Select/modify the image properties:
File: The image filename cannot be modified but shows you the path to the file that you have imported. This file is saved along with a .adp file so that the image can be restored when the file is re-opened.
You can specify an image file directory under Program Settings. Copy the image files that you want to use into this directory to avoid being prompted for the image file name(s) whenever you open a .adp file containing imported image(s).
Layer: Select a previously defined layer that you want this image to belong to. Imported images are assigned to the Background layer by default.
Scale Factor: Enter a scale factor if you want the image to be scaled. By default, the image scale factor is set to 1.0, which means the image is rendered at its actual size at 100% diagram zoom level. Images are scaled up and down when the view is zoomed in or out. To make the image larger (the image file will not be modified), choose a higher scale factor (> 1.0) and to make the image smaller, choose a lower scale factor (< 1.0).
Selectable: Check this box to allow the image to be selectable as an item on the dia-gram. If this box is not checked, you will not be able to select and modify any of the image properties.
Moveable: Check this box to allow the ability to move the image around on the diagram.
If the moveable check box is not checked, the image will be stationary on the diagram.
3. Click OK to return to the diagram.
2.14.12 Using Knee Points
Knee points are dividers that can divide branch and shunt items into multiple line segments. The number of line segments in a diagram item (e.g., branch) equals the number of knee points + 1.
Figure 2-31 below illustrates how to add a knee point to an existing branch and load.
NODE1
NODE2
Users Manual Adjusting the PSS/ADEPT Display
There are 2 knee points and 3 line segments in the branch from NODE1 to NODE2. There is 1 knee point and 2 line segments in the load. Originally, the line segments were drawn as one line segment between NODE1 and NODE2 and one line segment indicating the load. To create the figure shown, knee points were added to the original branch and load to allow the branch and load line segments to be arranged as shown. Once a knee point is added, you can select it and drag the network item to a desired location. Knee points are also created automatically when you draw a multipoint branch (see Section 2.6, Adding a Branch).
To add a knee point to an existing branch or shunt item:
1. Select the knee point drawing tool from the Diagram Toolbar and click on the branch or shunt item where you want the knee point to be placed. A small maroon square will become visible (see Figure 2-32) indicating that the knee point is selected.
Figure 2-32. Knee Point Selected
2. Click and drag the knee point to a different location to reposition the item. Once the item has been repositioned you can click anywhere in the diagram and the knee point will disappear from the view until you reselect it.
NODE1
NODE2
To delete a knee point from an existing branch or shunt item:
1. Select the knee point and press the Delete key, or select Edit>Delete. Be careful to select only the knee point and not its associated link (see Figure 2-33).
