Clearing Customer and Node Flags

Contents

Graphic flags identify model features with a specified attribute or value — for example, all customers with a zero load, or a node with a specific Record Number. Flags are placed by the Find and Flag commands; this family of commands removes them from the GDI Display again, either one at a time, by kind (“find” flags vs “item” flags), or all at once for customers or nodes. Clearing a flag never changes the underlying feature data.

Notes & Considerations

Graphic flags identify model features with a specified attribute or value – for example, all of the customers with a zero load, or a node with a specific Record Number.
If the Allow Undo Of Data/Graphic Changes environment option is selected, click the Undo icon to restore the last data or graphic change. To access the option, select the Options & Settings item from the Utilities menu, then select the Environment data tab.

FAQ

Do I need exact text for searching?

The Find DXF Text and Find User Text routines are not case-sensitive, but the search string must match the entire text value — to find “Main St” you must search “Main St”. To match partial text, type the term LIKE before the search value. Only the first feature matching the criteria is flagged.
Can the view automatically jump to a found feature?

Yes. If the Automatically Zoom On Find graphics option is selected, the GDI Window view is centered on the flagged feature. The option is on the Graphics data tab of the Options & Settings screen in the Utilities menu.
What does Go To An XY Coordinate Location do to my view?

It positions the upper-left corner of the model image at the coordinate you specify — useful for jumping to a known location. Use the Zoom Previous command to return to the last view.
