Hello Everybody,

I'd love to see filled bullets and open circles as part of the drawing menu.  Just pick them from the menu and place them into your drawing of a new element.  That would be so handy. 

Of yourse, you could create a circle via the ellipse tool and you could also fill that circle with a color to make it a filled bullet.  But grabbing them as ready to use items from the workbench make life so much easier and would speed up the drawing process a lot.

What do you think?

Think this would be welcome; maybe this could be solved to let the editor import parts of it own.
We save a circle with a line, and drag/import it later on inside another drawing.
So can you make templates and your fantasie is unlimited.

The current elements editor is quite rudimentary.

Therefore, I would like to suggest the implementation of a half-sized grid for more precise design work.
The elements placement on a sheet may use the now original grid.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to have a feature that allows for the skewing of rectangles to create shapes such as trapezoids with a fill option, or the ability to draw closed lines that can also be filled.

I hope this revision request make it fore peoples more useable.

The library of elements, enhanced by the additional users library, is quite impressive.

However, the inclusion of a user image/SVG library would be beneficial. Such a feature is essential for my projects, which frequently require the import of recurring and specific images and SVGs, necessitating their import. Moreover, a scalable SVG library would be particularly advantageous, as creating precise and scalable graphics with the current elements library proves to be undoable.



Thank you

Yes please; As I tell before, months ago, I have to convert paper design to electronic versions from different sources and want to keep the Title block as the original and outside my own. This feature is very welcome.

Hi PLC-User

Thank you.

BTW, my user language is Dutch.

Should then be called "Map van de Bedrijfs Collectie".

Actually, it would be better if the sentences were all changed to:

Algemene collectie map
Bedrijf collectie map
Gebruiker collectie map
Gebruiker titelblokken map

But I don't think that's that important for now.

Thanks

Hello everybody!

What do you think of introducing a second "user collection"?

For explanation:
In a company it would then be possible to have an official QET-, a company-wide and a personal collection. All elements that are published and valid for the entire company (e.g. on a network drive) would then be in the company-wide collection. Then the personal collection would be available on your own computer as a "playground" until these elements are also transferred to the company-wide collection, or even to the QET collection!

On Linux systems such a scenario can be achieved by using symbolic links, but on Win? Some say there are symlinks on win but I haven't seen any! Additionally the creation of symbolic links is often forbidden by company IT...

Now we are talking, this is what I need "This beg the question /request that I would like to save parts outside the elements library folder." but this will works even beter ( if I can export it easely )

So, I didn't read everything, but about the request, I am voting a plus1.

Maybe even unlimited libraries off a kind or per project base so we can export those and send it to a coworker. Look at the Kicad 'manage symbols' dialog with a list of external Libraries of element and then with a export function of the project and elements yes or no included. ( still busy with a recovery project from drawings to make them digital; am at 25% but it could be quicker with some technical help like this. )


About the element editor:
Please make the use of keystroke delete/forward delete equal in use in both editors ( sheet and element editor ).On the Mac it is not used consistent.

Thanks.

Thanks but I know and did this before.
have 350+ own elements in there. But like to have ‘parts’ separated somewhere outside QET from the final result.

Changed 35 to 350

Thank you.
I wrote before that I did redraw it with the internal editor

"Anyway. Then by hand in the element editor."

@plc-user

Don't worry. I just 'almost' never used and needed InkScape, so knowledge about that is less than less.

@plc-user

Thank you for the information. I did download InkScape yesterday, so I don't know all the in and outs.

Curious where it did get started to go wrong.
I did draw it in Photoshop using the rectangle tools and fill's saving it as SVG.
then converted it with InkScapen ( and a web Converter ) to DXF.
Then just imported it in QET.

Will check what you wrote later today. Maybe I can draw it in InkScape and look for the difference

Hi

I can read the text from the files.


Anyway. Then by hand in the element editor.

If someone can use it, please do.
Or have comments, please do.

I got two different ones with comments and value's but are to specific.

Same result.

Already tried but did get just an outline very ugly

Dear QET's

Just draw this image and want to us it as an element and save it in my lib.
I really thought that I could convert this to an element; but can't find it how to this.
On the terminals of the Accu/battery I want to create a Positive and Negative terminal to get it connected to the wire diagram.


Any suggestions?

Like always thank you very much.
If there is a step to step tut, please let me know.

Any progress and a fix possible?

Thank you for your reaction.
After a reinstall, restart and even a machine reboot still the same.

"Allow unzoom beyond the folio"

I guess I have a different kind of meaning about that function, but its not what I request.

About X:Y and the the Row and Function in the cursor position comment box, not sure if that is wanted because then we/I need to hoover over that object while I'am typing somewhere else in the app.

BTW, have you tried lastest macOS  arm64 packages, I don't know if is work on your Ventura, or maybe your mini is a Intel chip?

So far as I can see beside the Formula used in the text fields, or I don't understand the working of it, I see no weird things or differences between the both CPU versions.
BTW, thank you for the effort to create both versions. I wish I have a better understanding of QT.

How does the formula in a text field work? If I use the sample volta - "1754" it doesn't work. I see at other place they use the {} and at other places they don't or it doesn't work with the {}. Is that a Mac thing?

Is there a way when zooming in that the Row and Column Headers are fixed visible? Is this possible to implement this in the application?

When I zoom in then often I want still to see the Row and Column name's like F12. This is specially wanted when I edit some connections and need their locations

Very much thank you for your reply; I will look into this later.

Again thank you for your help.

Thank you for your reply; but those links doesn't help me much.

The text field changes hte code; and doesn't respect my settings.

It doesn't respect my row height and a min max column width. Also it uses a hardcoded font, that maybe isn't available on other system and create there a different view. If I hardcode my own font choice it changes that too. And the border is no way a one pixel border anymore.

My question again, how can I avoid the changing and how can I let the text field respect my code?

This feels like a feature by the developer but that is actually a bug.

hi, today, I did find some time, to play with HTML and the QET text fiel. I notice a very annoying issues; even when I add a very simple table inside the html source field, QET changes it to some thing that I didn't put there.

Is there a way that QET accept my input?
If I want f.e a one pixel thick border html code in the source how should I get the right result?

Sample

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>col 1</td>
      <td>col 2</td>
      <td>col 3</td>
      <td>col 4</td>
      <td>col 5</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</td>
      <td>bbbbb</td>
      <td>ccccccccc</td>
      <td>dd.dd</td>
      <td>eeee.e</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

I get a lot of garbage back with to much unnecessary style code.
If I create my own css then it get changed.

f.e

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 1</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 2</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 3</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 4</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 5</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 1</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 2</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 3</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 4</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 5</td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

css
table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding: 5px;
}

get changed to

This is absolute not wanted. How can I get what I want?

I use data from an Excel sheet and create from within there some HTML with CSS and copy paste that in the QET text field.  If I use the html code from QET as base I got a piece of text that is way to big to copy past.

MAX, Your first three images are not visible.

HTH means Hope this helps nomicons/wink

Okay
Right Click on your element
Choose edit element
Choose Tab Text
Open the Disclosure's |>
Search for your text or formula; found it? Then check and change your offset settings.

You can also edit the original one from the default collections; first 'save as copy' then edit your Text Fields.

To save your own element; first right click on your Element - Own Colection and add a folder; Little bit puzzling because sometimes it accepts No Uppercase in the name.

BTW, My way - I do copy them, the element manually using the OS system ( search for the default elements path);
I created in lowercase in QET under User Collections all the folder names that I need
then I did copy, using the OS system, all the elements that I will need into those folders.
In QET do a reload 'Collections'
Edit ( right click ) the elements under 'my Collections' to my/your needs.

Don't forget the 3 menu items under the Edit Menu ( in the Element editor ); I do not remember right now how they are named, but if you look into the edit menu, you will know which one.
Naming e.c.t take time for this.
Its not very intuitive but you can figure it out.

Hope this Helps

The setting for "coil" and "Organ of protection" are the same. The only way I have been able to adjust the reference for an overload is to select "coil". So for some reason the location for de "Organ of protection" (protection unit) reference is wrong defined in the software, because I have not been able to find where I am able to change this.

Kind regards Johan

Not sure if the following will or can help you. Or maybe I understand you wrongly.

You can adjust the setting in the selection inspector under the text tab; there you see text offsets and you can adjust those.

I did copy an element and did create a new one as a base for further adjustment; just did adjust the text offsets to have then under each other with or without border. Maybe you can do the same for your coil.
