that's why it is called the DEV version nomicons/wink

Since the position feature change I have the following issue:
If i select multiple items and try to move it with the arrow keys. Then the whole application force closes. I think it is related because the previous version was not closing.

It would be nice if this position indicator will also work if you add a textbox or something. But until not it looks very promising! Thanks

P.S. not sure if it is important but i am using it on Windows 11

The new positioning feature works as expected! Thank you! Now I have to "normalize" the zero position of my symbols to make it usefull nomicons/wink

The donation is on it way

Don't forget to click "Apply" after editing/adding a new Auto numbering item

I often forget that.....

Hi there,

I have 2 feature request:

- For the auto numbering reset of numbering. My suggestion is: 6 extra buttons on the "Auto numbering section": 2 for each Conductor, Element and Folio. 1st button: Reset to "1" and the 2nd button: Reset to "?. the last button should show a popup to enter the number to set the actual counter to.
motivation: while learning your (almost fantastic) software and setting up a first drawing I make a lot of mistakes. so resetting a auto numbering value will happen very often at this moment it takes 7 clicks including entering a number to reset the counters. I see more people are struggling with this. Maybe this is a nice and understandable way to improve this workflow.
- For positioning elements it would be nice to see the actual position X an Y while dragging you element around. my first thought would be in the same bar as the redo/undo buttons or maybe as most cad programs have: in the lowest bar of the main window where the tool tips are displayed as well. DONE

To motivate you guys even more then you already are nomicons/wink I will donate another 50 euro for the auto numbering reset feature in the next 0.9_DEV release and 25 euro for the position indicator feature!

Thanks

I found that setting but the element setting do not seem to affect the element texts.. (the element settings are also not described in documentation nomicons/wink ). But, maybe it is a bug in 0.90_DEV?

Hello Martijn,
about the autonumbering, if I understand well what you need is to use "number format 1 Folio" instead of "number format 1"

Thanks Joshua! that's exactly what i meant I guess i missed it!

I'm sorry I think we (or actually I) use different words for the same thing, I called it a filter but is called "Rules" (of course nomicons/wink )
I'll see what i can work out...

Hello Laurent,

Thanks for your reply, I'm quite a beginner with QET, I'm not afraid of (a little) programming but I really don't know what you mean nomicons/wink
Can you point me to an example or some documentation about rules?

Thanks in advance!

Hi QElectroTech Team,

Thanks for all the hard work! what a great peace of free software is here!

I am a fan of numbering elements by page. I was able to build a auto numbering filter for this, but my problem is every time I have added some elements to page 2, I switch to page 3 and then i have to reset the incremental number. So far it is a kind of workable but switching back to page 2, it means that i have to check where I was and set the incremental to where i was.

Is there a way to do this in a way it makes more sense?

My second question is:
Is there a way to give a default text size for labels by element type to prevent overlay?

Keep up the good work! Thanks in advanced

Martijn
