Re: (Edited) Making our own cross referencing symbols

@ Morganol

ok, everything is working fine ;-)

Open the "folio properties" dialog of a folio, go to the field "folio :" and type the number (or anything) you want.
Then go to the main menu --> Settings --> configure QElectroTech --> General
then CHECK the box "use labels of folios instead of their ID" so that you can see the folio number you typed by hand in the project tree (dock "Projects").

then make some new testing with exporting to a csv file.

Re: (Edited) Making our own cross referencing symbols

Ah, thanks.
I removed checkmark at "Use labels of folio instead of their Id"
Yes it I have forgot that i changed that.

I did not understand what that description meant.
wonder if it can be improved...
"Don't expand variables of folio Id"  ?


I have removed "%id(%total)" from folio properties and yes it is gone from parts list.
To get numbering in the "Folio:" field in the template, i replaced "%folio" with "%folio-id(%folio-total)" and i get nice numbering there.

Maybe the default template should better be like that?

Re: (Edited) Making our own cross referencing symbols

In QET there are now 2 different ways to identify folios:

1. the old way
all folios are identified with continuous numbering (1, 2, 3, 4...).
In this case, folios are numbered with "folio id".
"folio id" is the variable that takes the entries 1, 2, 3, 4...
This variable is AUTOMATICALLY managed and filled by QET. The user can only change the order of the folios but NOT their numbering.

2. the new way
the user would like to number the folio the way he wants.
For example : 10, 20, 30, 40... or A, B, C, D... or Paul, Chantal, Robert, Gertrude... or I, II, III, IV, V...
In this case, the USER has to fill this information in the "folio properties" dialog in the field "folio".
The information "folio number that is typed manually by the user" is named "folio label".

So... if you CHECK the box "Use labels of folio instead of their Id" the table of content of your project (project tree) will look like that:
A - title of the first folio
B - title of the second folio
C - title of the third folio
etc...

or

I - title of the first folio
II - title of the second folio
III - title of the third folio
etc...

if you UNCHECK the box "Use labels of folio instead of their Id" the table of content of your project (project tree) will ALWAYS look like that:
1 - title of the first folio
2 - title of the second folio
3 - title of the third folio
etc...


As I already wrote, these fonctionalities are not totaly achieved (don't forget you're working with the devel version).
They're working but the interactions with the user are not so intuitive.

The default template must be updated.

Thank you Yuri for taking your time to explain it so well nomicons/smile

Re: (Edited) Making our own cross referencing symbols

...actually i see that when changing the order of folios, their folio id IS automatically updated nomicons/smile
