The Plot Manager dialog box will open, displaying your available diagrams, views, and presentations on the left pane. Step 2: Selecting Views and Presentations
The ability to plot live charts and overlay them with previous simulation results for real-time comparison. Enhanced Study Support:
Always define clear, descriptive titles that include the project scenario name. Ensure that the X-axis (typically time in seconds or cycles) and the Y-axis (units like kV, Amps, or Per-Unit values) are explicitly labeled with their respective dimensions. Optimize Scale and Grid Visibility etap plot manager
With the release of ETAP 21 and the shift toward the , the Plot Manager has gained cloud capabilities:
Overlaying live results with previous data; high-speed Python-based charting . The Plot Manager dialog box will open, displaying
Select the starting node (swing bus) and the branch path to analyze.
Apply global templates for line weights, colors, gridlines, and fonts. Ensure that the X-axis (typically time in seconds
The Plot Manager operates as a standalone application and an integrated module to streamline how engineers visualize electrical system behavior. Key features include:
| Feature | Screenshot (Snipping Tool) | ETAP Plot Manager | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Raster (72-96 DPI) – Blurry | Vector (Infinite DPI) – Sharp | | Scaling | Manual zoom & guess | Exact engineering scales | | Multi-Page | Not possible | Tiling over many sheets | | Line Weights | Uniform | Customizable per pen # | | Batch Processing | No | Yes | | Title Block | Must add manually | Automatic insertion |
You haven’t selected a plot. Check the checkbox next to the plot name in the left-hand tree. Alternatively, the view might be blank—zoom extents before plotting.
