I am thinking of using QET for drawing network configurations
I this possible/feasible?

Does anyone has experience with that?
And wants to share network elements and eventually a sample drawing?

I have updated the element from:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2426

for some reason I wanted to do an update on the text shown in de XREF
normally when inserting a new element and selecting to update the existing element the element gets updated

Now I discovered that after an update of the element the combined text in the dynamic field is not updated

the elements that are already in the shematics do not show the updated text

original text:
%{function} /%{label}

changed text:
%{function} /- %{label}

is this some kind of bug or is ther a workaround?

Also found in mean time:
the setting for cross reference has to be done 3 times for each type of element

coil - organ of protection - switch/button

and this is what I had forgotten
it only worked for coil

The cross reference for master slave shows the folio number instead of the folio label.
In the project settings cross reference I have set %F-%l%c for the master and (%F-%l%c) for the slave indication

where to change so that te cross reference shows the folio label (%F)

I have added a nomenclature at the beginning of a project
this gets automatically extended while adding new things
but at a certain moment the message comes that the table is full
how to extend to a new page without remaking the nomenclature?

what is then the purpose of these fields?

how to change the color of a conductor?

If I fill a color in the field (#0000FF as example) of the conductor properties nothing happens

Can I define a color coding for signal (blue) and power conductors (black) as example ?

I checked the menu and found nothing there
now it is clear

I am experimenting with the title block editor.
I wanted to add a new row above the existing cells or adding a new colomn left from het most left colomn
do you have any tips how to do?

thanks works fine now,
but in addition to this I found that when moving an element the connected conductors move off grid also

found that it happens when connecting one terminal from an element with another terminal from the same element
and it happens always
for conductors vertical and horizontal

when making connection (adding a conductor) from one terminal to another the conductor is always 1 point of grid in the horizontal section of the conductor
how does this come?

I can correct manually ...

created quick from a picture

is there a way to change the color of the selected folio?
if not can you change the color because the difference in color between selected and not selected folio is not so well visible

how to do this?
I use the elements from the installation
where to put the %F?

I cannot say this makes me happy
this works for power cables 4 or 5 conductors

but for multi-cable it is not that suitable

so I went for some experimenting

with master and slave things
it is not ideal but can be a start for implementing something

the reference link is under the cable number (no idea why)

found:
has to do with the check box on the folio settings:

show one text per folio potential
when set of I can set all conductor numbers

I have chosen for the folio numbering to make it filled in rather than automatic
how to make now that the comming arrow and going arrow shows this information instead of the %f folio number?

how to link the conductors from a cable?

I try to add conductor numbers but sometime the check box can not be selected or the number does not appear on het drawing
what can be the problem?

my elements are indicated with %fQ1 (as example)  in the field label formula


if this element is on page 7 it will appear as 7Q1
now I have to insert a new page before page 7
because of autonum all page will move up one number to 8Q1 in this example

how to prevent this?

the tab heading moves under the  left-right arrows

when doing a zoom "fit in view" sometimes there is a empty space outside of the title block template

this can be on all sides
how to find what there?

I am using the latest version.
But the issue is solved.

As I only replaced the exe file with each new version
There was probably an error in the language files
Also copied the files now all is ok
