Changing the Auto-Calculate Options

You can select or clear the Auto-calculate check boxes on items you select on the one-line. This affects whether values are automatically calculated or manually entered. Currently, only cables, busway, HV breakers, and LV breakers are modified when using this option—other selected equipment is ignored.

To change the auto-calculate check boxes for one or more items, while in the Database Edit focus, select the items on which you want to change the options, and then on the Home tab, click Change > Auto-Calculate Options.
