To the extent that a Line Design Software supports the standards that Utilities use and enforce, it can be an added advantage. These standards can either be directly utilized by the Line Design Software, or be used separately by the Designer.



Useful standards to support in a software include:

  1. Wires used and their stringing tension standards
  2. Hardware used, including anchors
  3. Framing standards
  4. Clearance standards
  5. Separation standards
  6. Item % utilization standards/limits
