Hello Joshua,

i saw that you just added

font="Sans Serif,3,-1,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,normal

at the end of each dynamic_text tag.
For other messed up elements i'm going to try this workaround on my own, but i would also really appreciate what you thought of in post #9 (a software to update the .elmt file version. It will be great, especially for qet 2.0)

@Everybody: Thank you for the fast help!

Hi Laurent,

yes, i use a laptop with two screens.
But sometimes i also use this laptop only with the one built-in screen.

I just now tried once again and opened QelectroTech only on the one built-in screen: Same scrambled element nomicons/smile

Hi Laurent,

thank you for your fast respond!

Now i downloaded qelectrotech-0.90-DEV+git7517-x86-win32-readytouse.7z, copied my et908h.elmt from C:\Users\[User]\Application Data\qet\elements\fremdhersteller\commend to D:\Eigene Dateien\Downloads\qelectrotech-0.90-DEV+git7517-x86-win32-readytouse\conf\elements and tested it: Unfortunately it shows the exact same behaviour as my installed V0.8 (scrambled element when viewing it with the element editor).

I also deleted the whole QElectroTech directory under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ and tried again: Same :-(

I attached the et908h.elmt. Maybe the problem is within this file?

Hi altogether,

sometimes i'm facing the problem, that self-created elements are getting messed up / scrambled when i want to edit / view them in the element editor (please have a look at the attachment 'messed_up.png').

The strange thing is that they are only messed up in the element editor (red framed) but not when i drag and drop them to my schematics (green framed).

1.) Does anyone know why this happens and how to avoid this behaviour?
2.) Does anyone know how to edit messed up elements without starting from the scratch?

Hello alltogether,

i was wondering if / how it is possible to have more colors to choose from when creating a new part.
Unfortunately you only have 13 colors to choose from when creating e.g. a rectangle but when creating a dynamical text you can choose from all colors (see attached screenshots).

I also tried editing the *.elmt directly, but changing filling:cyan

<rect width="425" style="line-style:normal;line-weight:thin;filling:cyan;color:black" x="0" antialias="false" y="-145" height="145"/>

to a html-value like #2A6BB8 did not work. It would be great if all types of objects would have a syntax like the dynamical text and you could change colors with html-values in the source or even via the gui.

Any idea how to achieve it to use more colors in objects like rectangles?

Thank you in advance!
Aaron
