Topic: Line colours

Hello,

QElectrotech is an excellent piece of software, thank you very much for the continual development.

I would like to make one suggestion, and that is regarding line colours.  Is it possible to set a line colour along with the autonumber scheme?

When doing a large drawing, having to manually change colours on every line that isn't linked with another is time consuming.

Keep up the great work.

Hello Jon,


Thank you . nomicons/smile

what version you use?

In 0.51 devel version "colors and conductor sizes are now preserved through references and their equipotentiality".

Re: Line colours

I am on the 0.51-dev version from the Fedora COPR.

The preservation is working, however if I have PLC inputs for instance that all wire to terminals they don't share equipotentiality with any other cable.  In this case I have to assign colour every time.  If the colour could be defined as part of the auto numbering then it would make life easier.  I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean.  This project was small, but sometimes they are bigger with a lot of field I/O.

Or am I missing something?

Re: Line colours

Please attach your project, thank.
Or send me by email, with image for detail.

For PLC input/output I hacked report property element, see in this video :

Re: Line colours

Laurent,

I have found it now, I was not looking correctly.  You can set the colour on the folio properties tab, then do all your lines using auto numbering, then change colour and auto numbering if you need to.  Simple really if I had taken the time to look.

Sorry for bothering you with a trivial thing, though I still think being able to define it in the auto numbering would be a good idea, but others would probably argue not.

Thanks for taking the time to help nomicons/smile

Re: Line colours

Hi,

when changing color of conductor i would like to set only color, but if "Apply properties to all conductors of this potential" is checked, then also other properties to entire conductor is set. But I do not want that, since in part of schematic i turn off "text" for example.
How can I set conductor color only ? 

I use verision V 0.90 in Windows.

Re: Line colours

First of all: Use Forum-search!

With the words/phrases "color", "colour" and "to all conductors" I found these threads that should help with your problem:

Re: Line colours

Thank you, but i see my question is not clear enough to understand. I would like set only color to all conductors and not all properties. But how i understand this is not possible like one of your link states.
