Topic: Feature request for autonumbering and positioning

Hi there,

I have 2 feature request:

- For the auto numbering reset of numbering. My suggestion is: 6 extra buttons on the "Auto numbering section": 2 for each Conductor, Element and Folio. 1st button: Reset to "1" and the 2nd button: Reset to "?. the last button should show a popup to enter the number to set the actual counter to.
motivation: while learning your (almost fantastic) software and setting up a first drawing I make a lot of mistakes. so resetting a auto numbering value will happen very often at this moment it takes 7 clicks including entering a number to reset the counters. I see more people are struggling with this. Maybe this is a nice and understandable way to improve this workflow.
- For positioning elements it would be nice to see the actual position X an Y while dragging you element around. my first thought would be in the same bar as the redo/undo buttons or maybe as most cad programs have: in the lowest bar of the main window where the tool tips are displayed as well. DONE

To motivate you guys even more then you already are nomicons/wink I will donate another 50 euro for the auto numbering reset feature in the next 0.9_DEV release and 25 euro for the position indicator feature!

Thanks
Martijn Diks

Thanks for your donation nomicons/smile

I write the feature of X:Y pos in the status bar. Can you test the last build if it's ok for you.

For the autonumbering reset I will add it in the todo list

Re: Feature request for autonumbering and positioning

Since the position feature change I have the following issue:
If i select multiple items and try to move it with the arrow keys. Then the whole application force closes. I think it is related because the previous version was not closing.

It would be nice if this position indicator will also work if you add a textbox or something. But until not it looks very promising! Thanks

P.S. not sure if it is important but i am using it on Windows 11

Yes, moving element on diagram by arrows keys crash QET:
on fonction:
    const auto point_{m_movement_driver->scenePos()};
