When moving a conductor
(or moving an element so conductors follow)
then the conductor labels follow
BUT
Most often not not if i have adjusted label position i.e to center or other side of conductor.

This may be intentional behaviour and not a bug, but i think it would be much better if the label would be moved relative; follow the move of the conductor.
This is what i am use to from other editors.

Currently, moving elements around "scatters" conductor labels around in some chaotic order...

Thinking... Maybe it would be best internally solved by storing separately how much user have moved labels it from default position, so it can always recalculate new position from current conductor position and that ofset, and need not keep track and update at high speed.

I like to draw dense (to avoid confusion of flipping many pages...)
And often most wires are coloured (signals in control system)
To read colours reliably, it seem to be good to set width to larger than one.
A problem is that wires are drawn over the labels making them hard to read.

1) Would it be possible to make labels print on top of conductors instead?
( i can not think of any negative side effect )

2) I know i can move the labels... easy really - and holding down ctrl i can position without grid snap.
- But it would be convenient if it was possible to be able to set them by default to show up initially centered on conductors.

Yes i noticed after reading through...
I updated my manual instruction http://wiki.mageia.org/en/QElectroTech instead

Thanks.
Yoann seem to do a lot more than needed for just local build on Linux, but i will pick the good parts nomicons/smile later.

Hi. This is my second first post here so it is time to introduce myself:
I am self educated, and have a one man company mostly into industrial automation controls; repairing, upgrading, designing, building, machines, programming PLCs, designing cirquit boards... Sometimes complete machines, sometimes a part or a model... Sometimes i "only" investigate.  But currently i am mostly a part of a team of other enthusiasts building a testing scale bio reactor.

I started learning QElectroTech this week and think it is a very nice program,and will use this in part of this project.
I have not used electricians schematic programs before, but have designed cirquit boards using CadsoftEagle
Different... and similar.


I understand it is a rather quickly evolving program.

I wrote this instruction on how to locally compile latest version (trunk) on my preferred OS Mageia 6 (in development), to help others there, as there seem to be quite a bit of improvement from latest stable release 0.50. : http:// wiki.mageia.org/en/QElectroTech  
(sorry i could not make it a link as the interface then said i had two links which is not allowed?!)

1) Is there an easy way to know when there is a newer revision, except by downloading it all again?
1b) How can I update only the changes files instead of retrieving all files?
(I am brand new to svn...)

2) Do you know when will 0.51 be released?  ( if soon, we could possibly include in Mageia 6 release, it currently have 0.50. To me 0.51-trunk seem good enough already )

I am a newbie here, but had the same thought.
These kinds of safety devices disconnects both L and N to one or more consumers
(often a group of fuses divide L after this switch, while N is undivided to all those consumers)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

When the switch opens, the N net is disconnected from the other N net.
.. and the same is true for that part of that L net.
Maybe that could be named L1a and Na.
I am not electrician (i do cirquit boards) so i do not know how that is solved normally on this kinds of drawings...
