    You can also select the sides in which you want the cross-arm attached to by selecting one of the X -X 0 Y -Y options.

  6. Set the insulator attachment offset so that the stay cable is attached to the end of the cross arm

  7. Select "Save" and then click “Use”

  8. Select the stay and set the offset to 0m to make it vertical
