Topic: get all textfields from one device

Hi there!

Is there a trick to, let's say, highlight all text fields corresponding to on device?

Sometimes the fields are accidentally moved and you can't find them on the sheet, when no text is in.
Ok, I can put text in these fields to show, but e.g. highlighting all connected fields of one device (right click with pressing special key on keyboard) would be easier.

Is there such a funktionality?

Thank you

Hi,
easy, select your element, show Selection properties panel, if not actived enable it on https://download.qelectrotech.org/qet/m … tings-menu  click on Display

Displays or hides toolbars and panels

In texts tab you see all element texts. You can add new texts, edit them if texts was dynamics or remove it:

Re: get all textfields from one device

Thank you.

The "Selection properties panel" is great!

But the problem is different.
I do not want to edit a text field, i want to find a label, which is accidentally moved somewhere on the page an has no text in it.
(It can also be a label of a wire)

So for moving the empty label (to find it on page to move it) I have to put text in it, move to new position and delete the text.

So, there is no possibility to highlight all corresponding fields to one particularly element , to show where on page the empty label is? - (I think so)

Thank you.

Maybe enter control + f in your diagram and search by element?
