Open Connection dialog
In the Connection dialog you specify the data for a connection. The dialog will automatically pop-up when connecting node with a different number of phases. Double click on a connection to show the dialog otherwise. Connection can be drawn by left clicking on nodes or vertical/horizontal connections. In the latter case the new connection will inherit the properties of the existing connection.
# Phases: This is the number of phases of the connection. Values 1 to 26 are supported. Transpositions can only occure through a 3-phase connection. The number of phases is reflected in the connection thickness and restricted upwards to 3 pixels. A connection with n phases connected to a node of m phases where n<>m will actually connect the first min(n,m) phases.
Phase index: For single phase connections this the phase number actually carried by the connection. Specify 0-@ for a connection in a single phase circuit (no phase extension). Legal values 0 to 26. A connected component will receive it's phase directly from the nearest connection without any test on the phase index of other connections in series. The phase index is overruled by the SPLITTER.
Color: Specify the standard color of the connection (a limited number of colors is supported).
Label: The label shown on screen is as default the phase index.
Label on screen: Check this button to display the label on screen.
Hide: Check this button to hide the connection. It will then effectively be disconnected.
Relation: When checked the Connection turns into a Relation. A Relation is used for visualization purposes only and does NOT connect nodes. It is drawn in a dotted style.The default color is Blue. A Relation can also be hidden, but this only have a visual effect. Phases, indexing and node dots are turned off for Relations.
Node dot 1 Force node dot on for node 1. Disable the node size effect for this node (see toolbar).
Node dot 2 Force node dot on for node 2.
