The realistic styles drew every terminal of a strip with the clamp of the
layout (RealisticScrew or RealisticPushIn), whatever terminal was chosen:
a Phoenix Contact ST (spring) was drawn with screws in a screw layout.
Each entry of the terminal catalog now has its clamp: screw (Phoenix
Contact UT, Weidmüller WDU, ABB Entrelec M, Legrand Viking 3), spring
(Phoenix Contact ST) or push-in (WAGO TOPJOB S). A terminal chosen in the
catalog is drawn with its own clamp, the spring-cage ones like the push-in
ones; the clamp of the layout is kept for the other terminals, so a strip
mixing screw and spring terminals is drawn as it is.
The realistic styles don't write the xrefs, so each terminal becomes a
clickable zone, like the xref text of the schematic style:
- double-click on a terminal goes to its element on the folio
- the terminal under the mouse is outlined in blue, and a tool tip
shows its label and its xref
- the zones are exported as clickable links in the PDF
A terminal with one level is clickable on its whole body; a terminal
with levels is clickable on the rows of wire entries of each level.
Only the terminals with an xref (element placed on a folio) are
clickable. The zones use the same physical / real indexes as the
schematic style, so the double-click and the PDF export need no
other change.
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).
When user hover the Xref string of a terminal, the string color change
to blue to advise user the xref is clickable. Double click on the blue
Xref go the folio of the terminal and zoom the view to the terminal.
TerminalStripLayoutPattern class is now a shared pointer between all
terminal strip item.
QETProject have now a new class : ProjectPropertiesHandler
the goal of this class is to manage every kind of properties used in the
project, this class will be strongly used in future.
