update instead of the image a placeholder box is drawn and a warning is given during export.
Current dxf version is extremely old and does not support any image embedding. Future possible
update is the introduction of a newer dxf version export option which would allow to embed a link to an external
image file.
Shapes and images can now be resized, rotated, and skewed directly
on the canvas, not just moved. Both share one small transform
struct (rotation, then skew, then scale, anchored on a movable
pivot) and one handle widget, so a corner drag, an edge skew, or
grabbing the rotate handle behaves the same way and runs through
the same matrix math everywhere, instead of every item type
reinventing its own.
Shapes also gained a proper pen tool (bezier paths, corner/smooth/
symmetric nodes), arc support, and mirroring. Images gained
non-destructive cropping and colour-keyed transparency, both
remember their own settings, so reopening the dialog picks up
where you left off instead of starting over.
Properties dialogs for both were extended to match (position,
size, angle, skew), with undo/redo wired through for every handle
drag.
Old XML files can read easily as the transformation is only added
if needed and the old syntax is still used and understood if it is
not needed.
New QLineEdit (m_potential_le) between Type and Nom: an optional,
symbol-author-chosen grouping identifier shared by terminals that
belong to the same physical terminal within a multi-terminal block.
Stored as TerminalData::m_potential (new field, persisted as the
"potential" XML attribute, empty by default).
Used by relatedPotentialTerminal() in terminal.cpp: when
potential_isolating is enabled on a Terminal-type element, terminals
sharing a non-empty, matching potential value now stay electrically
linked to each other instead of every terminal in the block being
isolated from every other one.
Tooltip on the field for explanation
Elements already inherited QetGraphicsItem::isMovable()/setMovable() --
the same mechanism images and drawn shapes use for their "lock position"
checkbox -- but nothing exposed it in the element properties panel, and
Element::toXml()/fromXml() never persisted it.
- ElementPropertiesWidget::generalWidget(): add a "Verrouiller la
position" checkbox mirroring ShapeGraphicsItemPropertiesWidget's
m_lock_pos_cb, toggling the element's inherited setMovable().
- Element::toXml()/fromXml(): persist is_movable, same attribute name
and default-true behavior as DiagramImageItem/QetShapeItem.
Verified via headless --resave round-trip: is_movable="0" survives
load -> save unchanged, existing elements without the attribute default
to movable.

Saving an unmodified project produced a different byte stream on
every run: QGraphicsScene::items() returns items in stacking order,
and ties between same-Z items follow the scene's internal index --
not any content-derived order -- so it isn't reproducible across
process runs. The legacy terminal-id table inherits the same
instability, since ids are assigned sequentially in element order.
Sort list_elements and list_conductors into a deterministic order
before serializing, using a key built from data that's actually
stable across loads (position), not Element::uuid()/Conductor::uuid():
for an item with no persisted uuid attribute, fromXml() invents a
fresh random one on every load, so sorting by uuid would still be
non-deterministic across process runs for any legacy file -- which
this corpus has plenty of.
Also fixes a second, related source of byte-level non-determinism
found while verifying the above: Conductor::toXml() unconditionally
wrote m_uuid back out, including the synthetic value fromXml() just
invented for a conductor with no uuid attribute in the file. Every
conductor in every example project checked has no persisted uuid at
all, so this alone meant no project with conductors could ever
resave identically, regardless of ordering. Conductor gets a
m_persist_uuid flag, false only when the uuid it's holding was
synthesized rather than loaded, so toXml() stops writing a value
that was never meant to be permanent.
Deliberately NOT applying the same uuid-persistence fix to Element:
element uuids are cross-referenced by other elements' <links_uuids>
blocks for master/slave/report linking (element.cpp, tmp_uuids_link,
matched by elmt->uuid() == stored uuid on load). Making an element's
own uuid non-persistent would silently break that match for any
linked element without one already -- a real regression, not a
theoretical one. Left as a smaller, separate residual: 1-6 elements
per project across the corpus (a few tenths of a percent) still get
a fresh uuid on each load, same class of bug, needs the link-aware
version of this fix instead of this one.
Verified against 8 example projects (the ones with conductors, plus
the two zero-conductor control cases from FINDINGS.md F002), 5
resaves each in isolated HOME/XDG environments:
- Element and conductor ORDER: 0 churning sections across the whole
corpus (previously the majority of diagrams in industrial.qet,
m_000.qet and tremie_vibrante.qet churned on every run).
- Conductor uuid VALUES: 0 churn (previously every conductor in
every project, since none have a persisted uuid).
- 6 of 8 projects are now byte-for-byte identical (md5) across all 5
runs. The remaining 2 (industrial.qet, m_000.qet) differ only in
the handful of element uuids covered by the known Element residual
above -- confirmed by checking those uuids specifically, not
inferred.
- Element/conductor counts before and after resave match exactly on
every project (no data loss from the sort).
Fixes#754.
The conductor table keyed on Terminal::uuid(), which comes from the catalog
.elmt definition and is empty for every element authored before that field
existed. A conductor was dropped unless *both* its terminals had one, so the
tables this slice adds were empty on almost every project in existence:
examples corpus conductor rows in the database
industrial.qet 0 of 671
affuteuse_250h.qet 0 of 263
tremie_vibrante.qet 0 of 77
741.qet 0 of 67
Across the 23 example projects, 16 of the 20 that contain conductors have
zero terminal uuids -- 2366 of 3002 conductors -- and overall coverage is
7.3%. Meanwhile --export-cables, already on master, lists all 671 conductors
of industrial.qet from the document. A feature that only works on newly
authored elements is not one users can rely on.
Terminal::stableUuid() returns the terminal's own uuid when it has one and
otherwise derives one from its local position and orientation inside its
element. That is not an invented scheme: it is what the project format
already does. TerminalData::fromXml() says so where it parses the field --
"if the attribute not exists, means, the element is created with an older
version of qet. So use the legacy approach to identify terminals" -- and the
legacy approach is the terminal's position. m_pos is read from the definition
and is not touched by moving the element on a folio, so the identity survives
loads, saves and folio moves. Derived values are UUID v5 in a fixed namespace,
so they are reproducible without being stored, and cannot collide with the v4
uuids the element editor generates.
Every project in the corpus now has exactly as many conductor rows as the
document has conductors -- 20 of 20 measured, 0 mismatches. (schema_indus.qet
is excluded: it blocks on a modal dialog at zero CPU under any CLI flag, the
pre-existing hang PR #661 addresses.)
Two things this deliberately does not key on:
- The terminal name. It is not stable: QET rewrites a terminal named "_" as
unnamed, which would have silently changed the identity of 1421 of
industrial.qet's 1790 terminals on their first resave. Measured across the
corpus, dropping it costs nothing -- geometry alone yields exactly the same
three collisions -- and it means renaming a terminal no longer changes what
it is.
- Uniqueness in the face of a definition that declares two terminals at the
same point and orientation. Three cases exist in the whole corpus. They
merge to a single terminal row, which is harmless: two terminals identical
in position and orientation are indistinguishable in every observable
respect, and every conductor on either still resolves to the right element
and terminal name. Both affected projects (industrial, perceuse) return
their full conductor count.
The only conductor still skipped is one whose terminal has no parent element,
which has no identity to key on at all.

ElementsPanelWidget::duplicateDiagram() round-trips the folio through XML
and then gives the copied *elements* fresh uuids, because element.uuid is
the primary key of the project database and a duplicate silently fails to
insert. Conductors now have the same problem and needed the same loop:
conductor.uuid is likewise a primary key, its insert is a plain INSERT
rather than INSERT OR IGNORE, and a failure only reaches qDebug(). Without
this, every wire on a duplicated folio is missing from the wiring list and
from the per-element wire count, with nothing shown to the user.
Verified against the real schema: inserting the same conductor uuid for a
second folio fails with "UNIQUE constraint failed: conductor.uuid", leaving
one row where two were expected.
Also harden the uuid read in Conductor::fromXml(). The default argument of
QDomElement::attribute() is evaluated whether or not the attribute exists,
so a uuid was minted for every conductor on every load and thrown away; and
the default only applies when the attribute is *absent*, so a present but
empty or malformed uuid="" parsed to a null QUuid rather than a fresh one --
and null uuids collide with each other exactly as duplicates do.

Follow-up to #740, which fixed the slave-side "(n-Xn)" cross-reference
label. The master-side item - the small table/cross drawn next to a
report or master element, listing where each of its slaves is used -
was still missing from DXF export. Measured against examples/
industrial.qet with the PDF export as an oracle (renders the whole
scene, so it shows what should be there):
before after PDF
slave xrefs "(n-Xn)" 41 41 41 (already fixed, #740)
folio/position strings 358 403 403
DXF now matches the PDF exactly.
## Why this needed a different approach than #740
The slave label is a plain QGraphicsTextItem - one string, trivial to
walk and re-emit as a single DXF TEXT entity, which is what #740 did.
The master-side item (CrossRefItem) is not: it paints itself with
~600 lines of hand-written QPainter calls across three modes
(drawAsCross/drawAsContacts/drawAsPlcTable), including a header
table, contact symbols, and rules. Hand-porting that logic to emit
DXF primitives directly would mean maintaining two divergent
implementations of the same drawing that have to be kept in sync by
hand forever.
## Approach: a QPaintEngine that intercepts CrossRefItem's own paint()
DxfPaintEngine/DxfPaintDevice (sources/dxfpaintdevice.{h,cpp}) is a
QPaintEngine/QPaintDevice pair - the same mechanism QPrinter and
QSvgGenerator use to redirect QPainter output elsewhere. Constructing
a QPainter on a DxfPaintDevice and calling item->paint() on it produces
DXF entities instead of pixels, using the exact same drawing code that
already renders correctly on screen. CrossRefItem::paint() is
unmodified.
Scope is deliberately narrow - only the QPainter calls CrossRefItem's
paint() is observed to make: drawLines -> LINE, drawRects/drawPath's
fill case -> outline-only LWPOLYLINE (no HATCH support in v1 - DXF's
fill primitive is a separate, more involved entity type; documented as
a known limitation rather than attempted here), drawEllipse -> CIRCLE
or a flattened polygon for rotated ellipses, drawPath's arc case (from
drawArc/drawPie) -> chord-flattened LINE segments, drawPolygon ->
LWPOLYLINE, drawTextItem -> TEXT. drawPixmap is intentionally
unimplemented (qWarning + skip) since CrossRefItem never calls it -
this is not a general-purpose DXF paint engine, and isn't meant to be
in this PR.
CrossRefItem::paint() is protected, per the normal QGraphicsItem
contract - added a small paintForExport() wrapper rather than making
paint() itself public, or reaching around access control.
## Explicitly out of scope
QetShapeItem::toDXF() and QetGraphicsTableItem::toDXF() (both already
implemented and working) are untouched. Rewriting working exporters
onto this engine to prove an architectural point would be a large,
unrelated diff with no user-visible benefit - if that consolidation is
wanted later, it's a separate proposal once this engine has shipped
and proven out on the one item that currently has no DXF export at
all.
## Testing
Built clean on Qt5/Linux. Verified via the GUI export dialog
(Fichier > Exporter > DXF) against examples/industrial.qet, 50 folios:
export completes without error or crash, all 50 .dxf files are
structurally well-formed (balanced SECTION/ENDSEC, single EOF each),
and grepping the folio-position pattern gives the before/after/PDF
numbers above. Spot-checked several real label strings (e.g. "18-B18",
"20-A2") present as TEXT entity values in the output, not just an
artifact of the count matching.
QVector<int>(Qt::DisplayRole) creates a vector of size 0 (since Qt::DisplayRole == 0), not a vector containing DisplayRole. Fixed
to {Qt::DisplayRole}.
The sam applies to QVector<int>(role) which gets changed to {role}.
setTransformOriginPoint() was only applied inside
parentElementRotationChanged(), so loading an already-rotated element,
or enabling keep_visual_rotation while rotation_point_center was
already true, left the origin at (0, 0) until the next parent rotation.
Apply the origin directly in both setters so it's always in sync.
Added .ts files (de and en) to the commit
Now a new checkbox in the dynamictextfieldeditor is available (by default set to false for legacy) to make it possible to turn dynamic text fields around its own center.
This resolves an undesirable behaviour that occurs when the text alignment is retained
Including translation to english and german
Drawing tools on the diagram canvas always started new shapes and free
text from a fixed hardcoded default (Qt's plain QPen()/QBrush(), and
the static Preferences font) -- changing a shape's color or a text's
font had zero effect on what the next new item of that type got, even
within the same editing session.
Add LastUsedStyle: a small in-memory, session-scoped static helper
(no QSettings, no persistence across restarts -- this is a live "what
did I just use" value, not a new app-wide default). Write side hooks
capture the value right where the properties editors already apply a
change (ShapeGraphicsItemPropertiesWidget::associatedUndo(), both the
live-edit dock path and the modal editProperty() dialog path; and
IndiTextPropertiesWidget::on_m_font_pb_clicked() right after the font
dialog returns). Read side hooks apply the stored value, if any, to a
newly created item: DiagramEventAddShape::mousePressEvent for shapes,
IndependentTextItem's constructor for free text (falling back to the
existing QETApp::indiTextsItemFont() Preferences default otherwise).
Doesn't touch the element/symbol editor's own drawing tools (a
separate subsystem) or add last-used text color (no color control
exists in the text properties UI to originate it from yet).
Placing an auto-numbered element or conductor advances a shared
NumerotationContext counter (QETProject::addConductorAutoNum/
addElementAutoNum) as a side effect that sat entirely outside the undo
stack. Undoing the placement removed the visible number but left the
counter advanced, so every undo of an auto-numbered placement silently
burned a number, with no way to get it back short of a manual reset.
Adds SetAutoNumContextCommand, a small QUndoCommand storing the old/new
NumerotationContext and calling the matching add*AutoNum() setter on
undo()/redo() -- the same shape QPropertyUndoCommand already uses next
to it in ConductorAutoNumerotation::applyText().
Wires it into the two conductor call sites (the static newProperties(),
and numerateNewConductor(), both in ConductorAutoNumerotation) and the
element call site (Element::setUpFormula(), called from
DiagramEventAddElement::addElement() when a new element is dropped onto
a diagram). setUpFormula() now takes an optional parent QUndoCommand;
addElement() calls it before pushing its own undo_object so the counter
change lands in the same undo macro as the element's placement -- one
Ctrl+Z reverts both together, instead of leaving the counter adrift.
The project-properties config dialog's own add*AutoNum() calls (editing
the numbering rule itself, not a side effect of placing something) are
deliberately left untouched, as are the load-time folio-sequential
bookkeeping calls in Diagram::loadElmtFolioSeq()/loadCndFolioSeq() and
the bulk folio-renumbering passes in QETProject -- none of those run as
part of an undoable user gesture.
Implements the scope proposed in discussion #608.
Slice 1 of discussion #503 (from-to wiring list built on projectDataBase).
Conductor is the one item type on a diagram without a stable identity
of its own -- Element and Diagram both have a uuid, Conductor didn't.
This is the prerequisite the wiring-list tables need: a conductor
table keyed by uuid, the same way the existing element table is keyed
by Element::uuid().
- Conductor gets a QUuid m_uuid, generated in the constructor, with
uuid()/newUuid() accessors mirroring Element's exact pattern.
- toXml()/fromXml() read/write a "uuid" attribute the same way
Element already does, including the same generate-on-missing
fallback (QUuid(e.attribute("uuid", QUuid::createUuid().toString())))
for projects saved before this change.
- PasteDiagramCommand::redo() calls newUuid() on every pasted
conductor (content.conductors(), all three categories), mirroring
the existing per-element newUuid() call right above it -- otherwise
copy-paste would duplicate a conductor's uuid.
Backward compatibility: Conductor::valideXml() doesn't require the
"uuid" attribute, so old files parse unchanged. Verified by opening a
genuinely pre-uuid project (examples/industrial.qet, 150 folios, 671
conductors, legacy integer terminal1/terminal2 references with no
uuid attribute at all) -- loads and renders correctly, gets uuids
assigned on load, and those uuids are stable across a second
load/save cycle (byte-identical uuid values). Verified paste
separately: copying a selection with conductors and pasting produces
distinct new uuids for every pasted conductor, none colliding with
the originals or each other.
