ETAP TIP – No.

05
Project View (Part 4 - Libraries)
Applicable ETAP Versions: 5.5.0, 5.5.5, 5.5.6
(For lower versions, some of the descriptions and procedures below may differ in some ways)

This is a continuation of ETAP TIP No. 002, 003, & 004.

As usual, you may run Etap program and open the “Example-ANSI.oti” project located at C:\ETAP 55X
\Example-ANSI folder (where C: is the drive where you installed Etap program and ETAP 55X is the version of the
software) to easily follow the explanations below. In addition, you may refer to “Toolbars’ Map” on page 8 of
ETAP TIP No. 003 to map out the toolbars that will be identified in the succeeding procedures.

IV. Libraries

The “Libraries” folder of the “Project View” points out the library file attached (associated with) to your
ETAP project. The sub-folders beneath it are its components. See Fig. 1

In other words, the “Libraries” folder indicates which Library Library File
file is currently in use in a particular ETAP Project (Note: each
ETAP project can be associated to only one library file at a Path/Location of
the Library File
time).

From the “Libraries” folder, you can execute the following


commands by right-clicking on it with your mouse:

Open - To use (associate) a different library file to


your ETAP project
Save - To save the changes made on the active
Library file
Save as - To make a copy of the active Library file
including the changes made on it (if any) to
a new Library file and at the same time
associating the new library file to the ETAP
Components
Project.
Create - To create a new library file from scratch and
at the same time associating the new library
file to the ETAP Project.
Copy/Merge - To combine the data of one Library file to
another Library file
Purge - To delete all the data in the active Library
file

The above commands can also be executed from the “Library” Fig. 1
menu on the “Main Menu” bar. See Fig. 3

Operation Technology, Inc.


Apparently, the sub-folders i.e. “Cable”, “Cable Fire
Protection”, “Transmission Line”, etc. are the individual library
of the particular elements/devices. The name of the sub-folder
implies what elements/devices are involved in it. See Fig. 2. Cable Library

By pointing your mouse to a “Sub-Folder” and right- clicking


on it, you can execute the following commands:

View - To open and access the contents of the Subfolders


particular library to make changes i.e. to of “Trip
Device”
Edit (properties), Add, Delete, and/or Copy subfolder
elements
Purge - To delete all contents of the selected library
(Sub-Folder)

Note: A sub-folder may contain other sub-folders (e.g. “Trip


Device” sub-folder contains four sub-folders namely “Electro-
Mechanical”, “Motor Circuit Protector”, “Solid State”, “Thermal
Magnetic”). In this case, the far-most sub-folder should be the one “View” and
pointed out and right-clicked to execute the above commands. “Purge”
commands
executable at
Clicking the “Library” menu on the “Main Menu” bar and “LV Breaker”
selecting one of the Library Components (i.e. Cable.., Cable subfolder

Fire Protections, etc.) produces the same action as the “View”


command above. See Fig. 3
Fig. 2

Same commands as the


“View” command
executable when you right-
click a sub folder in the
“Libraries folder” of the
“Project View”

Same commands as the


commands when you right-
click the “Libraries” folder of
the “Project View”
