How to use this referencing? Did you make a video about it?

I get the idea of dynamic text - I am a huge fan of that feature.


Nevertheless, If my element has a lot of text and I need to rotate it all, it all gets diplaced and I have to manually relocate it. See photo in attachment.

What happened to ,,do not rotate text with element" option? Now when I rotate my element, text is rotating with it and it really complicates things. Because of it I have to create vertical and horizontal version of many elements.

Is this is option hidden somewhere or is it not coming back?

I use released a few days ago 0.7 version of Qelectrotech.

Edit: Maybe changing the point of rotation (may I call it a hinge?) to the center of text? Then when I rotate the element, I will be able to easly rotate all the text withous changing it's position. Right now the point of rotation is upper-left corner of text and it's rotating around this point.

So how is the work going guys? Can't wait to see new features!

I wish I could help with the programming, but I don't know anything about it. But I always recommend your software to other engineers and I'm planning to make a video tutorial on YT for Polish users this spring. That's why I'm asking if the new version is coming soon, so I could make this tutorial with all the new features nomicons/wink

But I think you will be very interested by that, let Joshua work on it.

Wow, you've got my attention. Love new features!

Yes, for me this was also a bit annoying when I tried to work with the newest beta version of QET. But because I hate it when my work disappears, I switched to stable version of QET. Now crashes are very rare and I also started to save my work automatically with simple Ctrl + S command.

For me the text alignment works only when I have more texts in one group. Then they align in reference to each other.
But alignment doesn't work for a single two-line text. Even when I try to align it right, it stays aligned to the left.

I do not want to create a new topic, so I'll ask here:

Positioning labels with Ctrl key (or Strg Key), is very precise but I cannot place every label in the EXACT same distance from element. It is easy to see when there is a lot of elements close to each other.

But I figured that everything would be fine if I could make the drawing grid... thicker?. Now it's like 10x10. If I had 2x2 or 1x1 grid, I would be able to place my labels very precisely and it would snap more accurately near the elements.

I tried to find that option, but it seems not to be present there.

Is there a way to make the grid more condensed?

Thanks for the answer.

At first I assumed that it would be something like CSS's "text-align: right", but I see now that it's far more complicated.

I will try to deal with it just like you are. Thanks for the Strg key tip (on my keyboard it's Ctrl). I didn't know it.

Hello everyone,

I recently started to use Qelectrotech in my projects and I'm currently making a lot of my own symbols (rewriting my other symbol library from some CAD software) and there is some thing really bothering me.

If I make a symbol, I used to put the label on the left side of it. It's just the way we do it in my country (I'm from Poland by the way).
Everything is fine if I have labels like F1, K4 oraz P5, but if I get to two-digit labels, I then have to push everything more to the left because it is overlapping my symbol.

I would really like the option to right-justify the text or to center it.
Maybe I didn't see that option?

And more, it would be really convenient if the label was forced to stay in the place (if I have a simple NO contact and I turn it 180 degrees, my label travels from left to right side of the symbol - I would like to stay on the left side).

How do you deal with such things?
