Importing References & Styles

Modified on Tue, 1 Feb, 2022 at 8:58 AM

Various references are used in SmartMAP to define the properties of:

  • Conductors
  • Distribution Transformers
  • Protection Elements
  • Load Categories


  • Visibility Rules (when some types of elements are hidden on the map)
  • Line Colors & Symbology
  • Node Colors & Symbology


While they can be modified within SmartMAP, sometimes it is easier to import items which were created for use in a different model.


To import references from a previous model, open the model you wish to import the references to, and ensure it is in editing mode if a system model.


Select Analysis --> Loads --> Import References


Select 'User-selected system file' and point it to the model you wish to import the references from


Check the boxes of the items you wish to import, then select 'Import Items'
