Is QElectroTech the right program for drawing electronic circuit schematics, such as the one attached?
Or should I learn how to use something like KiCad instead?
Thanks!

Hi Laurent
Thanks for your reply. I've been trying to find out exactly what makes it possible for the qet_tb_generator plugin to notice that a terminal exists in a project and include it in the terminal block which it compiles and after much trial and error I think I have discovered it. Perhaps this is documented somewhere but I couldn't find it so I will write it down here for the benefit of others.
construct an element which contains (at least) one terminal and set its Base type to Terminal block (in Edit / Element Property);
add (at least) two of these to a folio;
make at least one connection between any two of them with a conductor;
if for each element the element property Label is given a value which has the correct format (something like <alphanumeric>:<alphanumeric>) then the plugin will find and list that element.
Something odd happens when I call the plugin (using Project/Launch the terminal block creation plugin) - it always throws up the error message box titled "Error launching qet_tb_generator plugin" which details how to install the plugin before it then successfully runs!
Thanks for your work on this project. I have no experience with such a tool but first impressions tell me that this is a very comprehensive piece of work, well done!

Hi there
I'm running QET V 0.90+e3afc562b and Terminal Block Generator v1.3.1.
In the Help for qet_tb_generator it says:
- Terminals must have a tag such as <terminal_block_name>:<terminal_name>. Etc...
But what is a "tag"? Where do I find it? How do I set it?
Many thanks!
John
