OK its a feature see: Ctrl+T

qet appears in two menu items here: One in office, one in graphics. I think it should only be in one of them.

the case of the first letter is not consistent. "Untitled diagram" but  "Diagram Propoerties"

i can not connect the pins of C4000 ECO (R), but i do not see why.

wow that sounds good.
i will start a new thread for bugs

in fact we have to distinguish between two authors.
The original designer and the one who mostly copies the symbols to qet.
And we need a tag for the source that could be filtered.

What about this structure?

<source>
<type> own creation | standard | similar to standard </type>
<source name> Peter Pan | ISO 123456  | like ISO 123456  </source name>
</source>
<author> Peter Pan </author>  the guy who painted it in qet
...

if you like the idea, we could just copy and paste it from gimp.
http://www.gimp.org/source/

should fantasy symbols be dropped as soon as professional symbols are available, or should we collect all kind of symbols?

Hi,
i suggest to copy icons and the gui layout for aspect ratio from gimp.
It is a very common and intuitive scheme

a lock is more often used for passwords and things like that.

i guess a single symbol is far to simple to protect it by law.
But the whole collection + nomenclature + reference number system + translations
could probably be protected.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dessins_et_mod%C3%A8les
and a good explanation in german http://www.wh-ip.de/patentanwalt/geschm … esign.html

are we allowed to redraw, copy or lend the symbols that are published in a norm?
What may we distribute and what not? Any lawyer here?

here is a dictionary for 11 different languages

there is no filter mechanism for a standardisation tag.
So i suggest to add in in round brakets of the description:

<name lang="de"> Betriebsstundenzähler (EN 60617) </name>

i suggest to use http://www.cpnv-automation.ch/doc/ref_617.pdf as source for EN 60617 symbols and their correct names in fr and de.
We could use 10px per dot in the pdf file.
We should attach a marker to the file, that it is compatible to EN 60617. So we could use a descriptive filename like
08-04-03_meter_Wh.elmt
What do you think?
