This function is used to visually divide the network from a cable pillar into different areas, based on which outgoing bay from the selected cable pillar they are fed from.

Each bay area is colored in a unique color, providing a clear overview of the network structure and feeding paths from the chosen cable pillar.

 

Prerequisites for the trace

•Each bay in the selected cable pillar must be connected to a network object, such as a cable or a line.

•The voltage level of the connected network objects must match the cable pillar.

•All objects in the network must be topologically connected and properly linked.

•Switches or disconnectors that are open in their normal state are blocked and excluded from the trace.
