A submenu under View (Affichage > Afficher) with one tick per kind:
symbol texts, wire texts, free texts, shapes, pictures, tables and
cross-references. Unticking one hides it on every folio of every open
project; the status bar says how many kinds are hidden. Session only,
not saved in the project.
Each item is tagged with its kind by its constructor (ShownKinds::tag),
so an item created while its kind is hidden starts hidden whatever
created it. A tag rather than type(): the cross-reference under a
contact's label is a plain QGraphicsTextItem.
Items that already hide themselves (wire text switched off, one text per
potential, a cross-reference snapped elsewhere) now go through
ShownKinds::setVisible(): the kind state can only veto a show, and
apply() re-shows only what it hid itself (hidden_key), never what an
item hid. Conductor::updateTextVisibility() replaces the same visibility
rule pasted in diagrampropertiesdialog.cpp and qetscriptapi.cpp.
Hidden items are not selectable (Qt), so Select All, copy and delete
skip them. Print, PDF and image export render the scene and leave them
out; the DXF export walks items itself and skips them through
ShownKinds::isHidden(). CrossRefItem::linkedChanged() keeps following
its slaves while hidden only by kind, so its label is right when shown.
Known limitation: QGraphicsScene::itemsBoundingRect() still counts hidden
items, so Zoom to fit and borderless image export keep their space.
Verified: tst_shownkinds (12 cases, two mutation checks) and ctest 55/55;
GUI hide/show of symbol texts, wire texts (incl. one text per potential),
free texts, shapes and cross-references returns pixel-identical folios;
with nothing hidden, --export-dxf of the 24 examples is byte-identical to
master (133 files) and --export-pdf renders identically (133 pages).

Every wire was written in the default colour, whatever its colour on the
folio: 723 of the 3,190 wires in the example projects (23 %, in 10
projects) lost theirs. The wire outline now takes the wire's colour, and
its number the wire's text colour, mapped to the nearest DXF colour as
the free texts already are. Black still comes out as BYLAYER.
A two-colour wire gets its main colour, and dashed wires (46 in the
examples) stay continuous: DXF line types are not written yet.
Checked on the 24 example projects, 133 folios: exactly 723 wire
outlines now carry a colour of their own, the only change from the
previous commit; ezdxf reads all files with no audit errors.

Everything in an exported DXF was on layer 0, and the file had no LAYER
table: in a CAD program the border, title block, symbols, wires and texts
could not be hidden, printed or recoloured separately. Each kind of
content now has its own layer, declared in a LAYER table (white/black,
continuous, so the file looks the same on opening):
QET_BORDER, QET_TITLEBLOCK, QET_SYMBOLS, QET_SYMBOL_TEXTS,
QET_TERMINALS, QET_WIRES, QET_WIRE_NUMBERS, QET_JUNCTIONS, QET_TEXTS,
QET_XREFS, QET_SHAPES, QET_TABLES, QET_IMAGES
Fixed, untranslated names, so layer filters and scripts work in any
language. Createdxf gets a current layer beside its xScale/yScale;
DxfExport sets it before each kind of content, and BorderTitleBlock
switches to the title block layer itself. No DXF version change: layers
exist in R10.
Checked on the 24 example projects, 133 folios: with the layer values
set back to 0 and the LAYER table removed, every file is byte-identical
to before; no entity is on an undeclared layer or left on 0; ezdxf reads
all of them with no audit errors.

qelectrotech --export-dxf <project.qet> <output_dir> [--show-terminals]
writes one DXF per folio, named <NN>_<title>.dxf like the PNG and SVG
exports. Discussion #1072.
The DXF code moves out of ExportDialog into DxfExport, unchanged except
that its options come from an ExportProperties argument instead of the
dialog. The dialog and the command line both call it, and the command
line uses the dialog's default options (the preferences' export
settings), so both write the same entities.
- Createdxf answers a file it cannot open with a message box and
exit(0); the command line checks the file first and fails with a
message and exit code 1 instead.
- A note is printed when pictures become outline boxes, as the dialog
warns.
- Scripting: qet.exportDxf(outDir, showTerminals). MCP: format "dxf".
