FAQs: Creating Intelligent Symbols for Transformers
In V4.5, the intelligent transformer symbol was introduced into PTW. This allows the symbol to display the winding configuration as entered in the component editor. Creating a new transformer symbol (or editing an existing one) is as easy as with any other type of symbol using PTW's Symbol Generator. 
 
Unlike most other symbols, transformer symbols have multiple layers: 
  V4.5.1.0 and later 
V5.0.1.2 and later 
 
Layer 0 
Main Symbol Main Symbol

Layer 0 is always shown on the SLD, together with two or three other layers to illustrate the winding configuration entered in the component editor. 
 
You can switch between active layers in the Symbol Generator program using the menu option Symbol>>Set Active Layer.  For more information on changing symbols in PTW, click here.
