Hello plc-user
In summary, here my suggestions for fairly simple rules for creating elements:
- Scaling: 100 mm <-> 200 px
- Scaling for X- and Y-directions identical
- element for DIN-rail: Center in Y-direction = center of DIN-rail = 0
- element for DIN-rail: Center in X-direction = 0 (centered) or useful alignment for elements that are lined up
- language of static texts inside of elements: English (or the original texts printed on the part)
- separate elements for symbols and graphics
- no terminals in front-view-graphics
For me I'm ok with your suggestion.
If we agree on rules, then we also need to write them down in the QET documentation and also make sure that they are followed. This also means that we have to regularly point out to the creators of elements that these rules exist. In some cases, this also means that individual elements need to be reworked (scaled) or even rejected...
I think we need to add it in the documentation and also in the wiki.
About folders found in the "thumbnails for assembly plan" we need to move it into a new folder named "deprecated" and each time an element is drawed with the good scale factor add it to the good folder.
This will take a lot of time.... Also I need to add a new element type "thumbnail".
. I will probably test your translator this week end.
