From the Plan View, you can double-click on a span between any two items to bring up the Span Editor/Viewer window; where the majority of Span Attachment Functions are available. On a particular span, you can also right-click and select the Edit Span option.



Add Pole Mid-Span 

 

It is possible to add a pole structure in the middle of the span and have all attachments attached.



In this Dialog, all you need to do is to specify the distance from one of the existing end structures to locate the pole in the span. Simply select the end from which the measurement is taken from and enter a distance value. Optionally you can enter a new structure name at the same time. There will be some reasonable assumptions made about the size, type and class of the pole, which you should verify after this Dialog closes.

 

Copy/Paste functions 

 

In the Work Plan View, you can right-click on a span and copy a whole category of attachments at the same time, or all attachments. The categories are :
1. Power Wires
2. Strands & Cables
3. All Attachments

 

 

The Copy Menu will have a submenu item for each category of attachments found to already exist in the span.

After copying they are placed in the Quick Pole's Clipboard for pasting elsewhere. There are a few ways they can be pasted. The first is you can right-click on a span and paste a single category of attachments or all attachments on the Clipboard.

 

You can also select multiple spans in a row at the same time and right-click on a selected span to have the same pasting ability; but this time to all spans between the selected poles at the same time.

 


When attachments are pasted this way, the attachments are applied to the spans with the same framing/spacing as in the original span and are placed starting at the top of the Structure downwards. This enables poles of different lengths and depths of setting to look similar to how most poles would look in the field. After pasting the attachments, you should check the heights of all attachments against your field notes. In many cases they will be very close and this method will save you a good deal of effort.


Within the Span Editor/Viewer Window you have similar ability, except you can now select individual attachments as opposed to the entire category. You have access to the same Clipboard used in the spans. If items are on the Clipboard already when you first start, you will be told how many of the same category are available for pasting. You can copy any row to the Clipboard and paste it back to the same table as a duplicate. You can also copy one or two items to the Clipboard, close out of the Editing Dialog and have them available for pasting to one or more spans anywhere else in the project.
