Hi

Now there may be an easy answer to this question (I hope) but I cannot get text to obey centering in the text editor for the normal drawing workspace.

I have tried both CSS and HTML, which the editor observes, however does not translate to the text field on the drawing.

Is there a way to center multiple lines of text in a text box? The next option might be to create an HTML table but that's a lot of effort to get centered text.

See attached screenshot for example.

Cheers

Hi Dallasdycus

Yes the angle/rotation property works fine. It's only the text alignment that doesn't seem to work. Everything is centred not matter what the alignment setting is if the field size is greater than 0.

Setting the field size to 0 is a work around for left alignment however text wrapping is immediate after each word so can look messy if it's not a simple single word.

If you want to align right though and direct text to the left of your element for example, you don't seem to be able to?

Hello

I think you may be able to solve your issue by selecting the tick box for "Show one text per folio potential"

This is located only in the Project Properties -> New Folio -> Conductor -> Type -> Multiline

It's very similar to the screen you show just with this one addition. This way for all conductors you'll only get the 1 wire number shown in each folio. (I'm not sure off the top of my head if this can be applied retrospectively or only takes effect when you make the next new folio)

Hope this helps

Hi

Just using the element editor to create different elements. When adding dynamic text fields they are all showing as centred text?

I have tried all configurations of the text alignment option but it doesn't change the outcome - the dynamic text is always centred.

This characteristic also occurs in the main drawing environment and not just the element editor.

PS - You can double click as a short cut...

Hi Martin

For items like this they need to be linked. I have uploaded screenshots of the process.

Right click -> Edit Element -> Folio Referencing -> Right click and link item -> Apply -> Select which wire number you want to associate.

This is the same process for Master/Child elements.

You can then see the associations of items and they will stay updated with the referencing format if you move them around.

Hope this helps nomicons/smile

Hi scorpio810

Thanks for the question. Looks like this element was set as terminal nomicons/smile Not sure when or why that happened. Set to simple type and all is well. I haven't used the terminal type before so it was the first time I'd seen this behaviour. Good learning experience.

I knew I had to be missing something simple!

Hi all

I have used Electrotech for many years and extremely grateful for such a great program. To my surprise I was editing a drawing in version 0.9 and came across something I have never seen before - probably a clash from earlier versions maybe?

I have existing elements I have created in the element editor (in previous versions) that have numerous terminals. To my surprise I was updating a drawing when I was prompted to assign wire number x to 55 conductors? It is an independent circuit however QET is seeing the terminals as all connected.

I was curious whether this was across the board but it doesn't happen with standard QET symbols or other symbols I have created. Maybe it's due to the larger number of terminals in the element?

Either way this particular element sees all the terminals as being the same connection/potential and will attempt to assign the same wire numbers to all. If I change a wire number in my existing drawing (originally all different) it will update the others to match.

Have I missed something and doing something wrong for 0.9?

I have attached a screenshot of some random elements connected to different terminals to show how they all take on wire #1 automatically as soon as they are connected.

Thanks in advance.
