Topic: [Solved] Move network of elements between foils v0.8

Hello!

I'm new for qElectroTech, found it lately and really like this open-source program.

I'm working in field of industrial automation mainly with software and QET seems to be versatile documentation program for my needs to "draw open" and make personal documentation of old programs which I'm facing on my daily work (some sw-projects I'm working are like migrations of migrations). Main use for me is a control schematics, with details and notes. Also some pneumatics drawings to associate between control networks.

I do especially like the rather fast and straight forward (no feature creepage) use of element editor and QET in general. I'm currently creating as I go an elements for some Siemens sw (CFC, freeblocks) and some Allen-Bradley / general abstract SW ladder elements (ie AFIs, Timers and so on).

My question is:
Is there a way to move a drawing / network of elements between foils? As now v0.9-dev it seems that the elements are loosing all their text (labels) if I try to cut+paste it to another place or another foil.
In my use I many times start somewhere to find out that the foil is full and there is some part that should be in own foil (I found something that is bigger than the starting point).

One thing I'm missing is a bazier curve connector or line to be used ie. state diagram drawings (abstraction above SFC/Grafcet) or as a notification textbox arrow.

BTW, you could use DXF converter to elmt plug-in for draw complex symbols.
Like https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2049

Edit: you can explain more like an capture?

Thanks I will look that DFX converter (.. however, I personally rarely need any complex symbols found in dfx-format).

Bezier curve or only curve line. This is usually seen eg. UML-diagrams etc. for general purpose programming languages. I don't exactly know how it would fit to QEDs other linetypes or fileformat etc.

Here is example from Paint
