Data Text for Breakers, Switches, and Fuses

All closed breakers, switches, and fuses must have a location defined for DataText1. This is so that equipment duty results in short circuit are displayed correctly.

Note that there are several orientations that need to be modified for correct data text placement.

Equipment	One-line Graphics	Vertical	Vertical Flipped	Horizontal	Horizontal Flipped
HV Breaker		X	X	X	X
LV Breaker	Breaker Only	X	X	X	X
LV Breaker	Fused Breaker	X	X	X	X

Switch		X	X	X	X
Fused Switch	Fuse Only	X	X	X	X

An example for a low voltage breaker is shown below for reference. The relevant line is emphasized.
