Topic: Showing wire gauges and colors on drawings?

I am using QET for some automotive work and I want to show wire gauge and color next to the wire. Is there a way I could include this data in the wire name label, via a formula of some kind? Is there another way to get this to show? I'm struggling to see how to get the wire size and color data out of QET, it seems like the only place it shows up is the Conductor Properties dialog.

Use workaround report folio to report these informations on your wires.

Thanks for the quick response - that should get the job done.

Any plans to improve this feature in newer versions? Either way, thank you to the team for such a great piece of software.

Only report have conductor properties, you can change your symbol to report folio next or previous, but you need to have only one terminal.

Hello,
is there also a way to display the cross section and color directly on the conductors? I have small plans without references
Thanks

Re: Showing wire gauges and colors on drawings?

Hallo Thorsten,

es geht ja hier nicht darum, irgendwelche Verweise zu machen. Das Verweis-Element bietet nur die Möglichkeit, die gewünschten Informationen anzuzeigen. Im Anhang ein Beispiel, wie das aussehen kann.

This is not about making any references. The link element only offers the option of displaying the desired information. Attached is an example of how this can look.
