It would probably mean a huge effort (or not)
but is there no way to link to the element (not for slave elements) an element defined as thumbnail

there is already a base type thumbnail defined
the functionality to add is to link/unlink the element to the thumbnail
the reference to the thumbnail could then be shown next to the label of the element

After reading the previous topic I did some experiments with the terminal generator
(nice work by the way)

but I found some issues:
when I change the project setting the size of the font to 8 (as example) it shows immediately in the terminal block after saving and reopening the shematic it reverts back to size 15

the same applies for all other settings in the project terminal plan
If you apply a change and close the project the application does not ask to save the project
even if you do a save nothing is stored

Also the language is not correct
I have the language set to english and some text are in french

also the settings for the terminals are in the project I cannot find them in the configuration of QET


the python terminal generator also adds terminals and hose functionalty what is the plan to implement this?

anyone interested in checking this out??

here is my example with a / in the name

the flow is:
double click the element you want to link
select the item from the list
right click <link the item>
the selected item comes green
and <Apply>
the links should appear on source and destination element
(you can use the other options to select the correct item to link)

to unlink click an element and select <Unlink> and <Apply>

to avoid futher questions:
you can move the text by holding the <shift> key and dragging the text to the desired place

I cleaned the elements, put all connections to grid.
where are the 2 slave elements you use as NO or NC ?

can we get also the I/O elements you designed for this?
also I see the I/O modules have no terminals
how do you plan to make your shematic?

here it is
it took me 10 min to create

I have tested the tool
I changed the settings to comply to my pages format

the tool finds 99 links but only 4 links created
they are on page 50

but the links are not going to the correct page
so what is the trick to make it working?

example

example

example

the same happens if you click <HOME> to go to the beginning of the text
then you go to the first page

here you have an example what I did
and learned from other calls

Here is what I do:
open the shematic
edit the terminal block in element editor
in element editor I add some terminals and save
place the changed element in the shematic
the changed element is correct

save and close the QET
reopen the shematic and then the original element is updated with the added terminals
but the text is missing
the changed element shows the new terminals and also the text

I only edit the XML to correct the issue as workaround

situation:
I have added to an element in the shematic a user text field
I double click this field to update
with the arrow keys you can go to the place where to edit but
if you press the end key from the keyboard the application goes to the last sheet of the shematic

for me this is a bug

there is no issue in regenerating the terminal blocks thru terminal block generator
but when placing the new block in the design all connections are lost
so all wires have to be redone
that is why I choose to edit and update the block
but then the added terminals have no text
I checked the XML and found that the text is missing in the section <dynamic_texts> of the element

updated file

of course it is was only the terminal block it was easy to replace
but there is more
here is the complete schematic with all external connections

I have a project with terminal blocks in it created by terminal block generator
because of a modification I need to add to add some extra terminals
I edit the terminal block add the extra terminals manually and save
save and close the project
after reopening the project
the terminal block shows the extra terminals but the text is missing
if I take the terminal block from imported elements it shows the texts
what goes wrong?

nice to know this new feature was introduced

with the comminf of Built with Qt 5.15.16 - x86_64 - Date : Feb 22 2025 : 10:39:25
It is no longer possible to move the text field from an element

(with every new release I only replace the exe file)

Hopla
It took me some days to make them
