Topic: Resizing an object.

Hello everyone,

I am a new user of Qelectrotech. I would like to create layout and single-line diagrams.
I draw the walls of the house (on this subject, if anyone knows where to find a library for doors and windows), but when I import a socket from the QET collection, it appears too large in the drawing space.

How can I resize it?

Re: Resizing an object.

QET does not have a standard scale for drawings internally. Many people use 2 pixels for 1 mm as a workaround.
I think the better solution for you would be to create the floor plan of the house using CAD software, then generate a PDF from it and convert that into an image. You can then insert this into QET and use it to plan your electrical installation.

If you want to stick with your previous approach, you will need to save the socket and all other components from the official component collection in your user collection. There you can then edit them (size, appearance, etc.) and insert them into your drawing from there.

Hello

I draw the walls of the house (on this subject, if anyone knows where to find a library for doors and windows), but when I import a socket from the QET collection, it appears too large in the drawing space.

Columns and rows isn't for printer paper but for scaling element view in your diagrams.

In QET 0.100-dev, the Element Editor offers the option of calling up the command line tool ‘QET_ElementScaler’, which can scale an existing element evenly in all directions. Of course, the labels are also adjusted accordingly.

There are already various questions and answers on this topic here in the forum.
