A spare (reserved) terminal is a terminal of a strip which is drawn on no
folio. RealTerminal already foresaw it ("a terminal set by user but not
present on any folio") but every terminal needed an element.
- RealTerminal::createSpare(): a terminal without element, with its own
data (label, type, function, led, informations: section, width, catalog
terminal, color, manufacturer...). Saved in the strip:
<real_terminal spare_uuid="..." type="..." function="..."><informations>
Older versions ignore these terminals.
- TerminalStrip::insertSpareTerminals() / insertTerminals(): insert at a
position of the strip. Undoable commands AddSpareTerminalsCommand and
ChangeSpareTerminalDataCommand.
- Terminal strip editor: "Add spare terminals..." button. The terminals
are inserted after the selected terminal (at the end if none), numbered
from its label ("X1:12" -> "X1:13", "X1:14", leading zeros kept), with
its properties if asked. The labels can be changed or removed in the
table, like the other cells; the Xref column shows "Spare". Moving a
spare terminal to the independent terminals removes it (undoable).
- Nomenclature: the spare terminals are in the new spare_terminal table,
added to element_nomenclature_view (UNION ALL, same columns), after the
folios, in the order of their strip. exclude_from_bom is honoured.
- The modified cells of the editor model are kept by real terminal, not by
element, since a spare terminal has none.
Several terminals of the catalog have the same width (6.2 mm: Phoenix
Contact UT 4 and ST 4; 5.2 mm: WAGO 2002 and Phoenix Contact ST 2,5...).
Only the width was stored, so on reopening the first entry with that
width was shown instead of the terminal that was chosen.
- New element information terminal_catalog_entry: the label of the
terminal chosen in the catalog (e.g. "Phoenix Contact ST 4").
- Choosing a terminal also fills the manufacturer and manufacturer
reference informations (bill of materials, %{manufacturer_reference}),
only when they are empty or still hold what the previous catalog entry
wrote: a value typed by the user is never overwritten.
- Element editor: the manufacturer and the exact terminal are restored on
reopening. A width typed by hand, or stored before this change, stays a
plain width instead of taking the first terminal with the same width.
- Terminal strip editor: new "Manufacturer" combo filtering the terminals
proposed in the Width column (with the section filter); the column shows
"6,2 - Phoenix Contact ST 4", and copy/paste keeps the terminal.
Existing projects are unchanged: without the new information, only the
width is used, as before.
Add two realistic drawing styles for the terminal strip plan, besides
the existing schematic one:
- Realistic (push-in) and Realistic (screw): the strip seen from above,
at scale (real width of each terminal), like a cabinet mounting
drawing: end stops, group marker carrier with the strip name, one row
of wire entries per level, bridge channels with red bridges, marker
tags with the terminal number, type symbol (fuse, LED, diode,
sectional, ground...), green/yellow PE and terminal color.
The style is chosen for each plan in the "Add terminal strip plan"
dialog and saved with the item (attribute draw_style of
terminal_strip_item). Items saved before keep the schematic style.
Several plans of the same strip can use different styles.
The values used by the realistic styles are in the layout (scale in
px/mm, terminal length in mm, end stops, group marker) and can be set
in the layout editor, whose style combo box only changes the preview.
Separator plates: a new "Separator plate after" check box column in
the terminal strip editor, stored in the terminal element informations
(key terminal_separator). Drawn as a plate at scale in the realistic
styles and as a thick line in the schematic style.
New files: realisticterminalstripdrawer.{h,cpp} (realistic drawing) and
terminalstripdrawerhelpers.h (helpers shared with the schematic drawer).
