I find myself wondering many of the same things you've mentioned in your post. It's been a few months since you wrote that and I'm wondering if you figured any of that out? I see there are no replies, but perhaps you've communicated with Joshua or others in a different place?

Should I take from your reply that I should be using the terminal block generator and not mess around with the parts displayed in my original post? I find the terminal block generator a bit intimidating and I don't understand how I can complete some concepts, for example:
How do I indicate that two terminals are bonded? (see below image for example of what I mean)
How do I handle multi-level terminals (2x 2-position terminals in one block)

En fait, j'ai essayé la même chose, mais cela n'autorisait pas non plus de liens supplémentaires lors de l'édition.

Topic: Simple terminal block symbol question (4 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
I have searched and read a bit about the terminal block plugin and watched a few videos, but I'm not understanding how it works. I also don't think it's what I want/need at this point in my projects. I'm drawing a simple motor starter schematic and I plan to use feed-through terminal blocks from
Weidmuller. I've been trying to understand how I can depict these devices in my schematic and wondering if the below drawing is the intended, correct way to do this.
There aren't wire label text objects for each connection which also makes me thing I'm using these wrong or that there is a better way. For example if I had a 4 position terminal block and wanted to label the conductors 1.a, 1.b, 1.c and 1.d I would need to add text objects to the terminal parts and that seems like a warning that I'm using the wrong thing.
I've also seen the terminal strip diagram parts, but these are large (1) compared to the other symbols I'm using (2)
**I made a screen shot to show this but for some reason this site won't let me include more than 1 image which is pretty lame.

Re: conductor cross is does not move when layout changes (2 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
Thanks for the reply. I just realized the same after reading this post for the 5th time 
I was thinking the cross was the same as the "black dot" intersection that is drawn when you connect multiple terminals to a common terminal, but it is actually just another element and behaves as such.

Topic: conductor cross is does not move when layout changes (2 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
I've tried to search for this issue but I suspect I'm using the incorrect search terms as I'm new to QET. My question is, what am I doing wrong that my cross will not move with the conductor it's attached to when the layout changes? For example, if I move an element and the wire layout changes, the cross will be left behind.
Here is a very short video demonstrating the situation: (also attached in case YouTube goes out of business )

Am I using it incorrectly?

Topic: Localization support for elementInformation elements? (0 replies, posted in Elements)
Hello,
I've found an element in the user contributions project that I would like to use. While looking at the element XML I noticed the description is in Italian (I think?) and I wondered if there was a way to define multiple languages for the description? Here is what I'm referring to:
<elementInformations>
<elementInformation name="designation" show="1">CWB12-11-30 C03 + DIB-C33</elementInformation>
<elementInformation name="description" show="1">CONTATORA 12A-C3 BOBI...</elementInformation>
<elementInformation name="manufacturer" show="1">WEG</elementInformation>
</elementInformations>It would be great if I could also add a description in EN (or any other language). Does the Element schema support localization of the elementInformation data?

Topic: How can I use the qelectrotech-element-contrib Elements Collection? (1 replies, posted in EN : Help, suggestions, discussions, ...)
Hello,
I'm a very new user of QET and using it to create a motor control circuit for my dust collector.
I've been watching videos (that I can find in English), reading documentation and browsing the forums.
I am running QET version QElectroTech V 0.90+e3afc562b on Linux. I would like to use the qelectrotech-element-contrib Elements Collection in my project but I'm unsure how to install it. As a test, I tried saving a single .elmt file into my User Collection folder and while the item does appear, I cannot add it to my drawing (when I try to drag it nothing happens).
I've looked in the documentation and the project ReadMe for instructions on using an external collection, but not finding anything.
Can anyone help me understand what needs to be done?
Regards,
Steve
