Pins are already sorted by designation (see EdzPart::parse natural sort).
This change makes same-designation groups visually obvious in the element
symbol by:
- Inserting a 5 px gap between consecutive terminals whose designation
differs, so each group reads as a distinct block.
- Drawing a thin dashed horizontal line through each gap, mirroring
the grouped-I/O style shown in typical manufacturer datasheets.
The body rectangle and bounding box grow automatically to accommodate the
extra gaps, so no fixed sizes change. Unique terminal names (added in the
previous commit) are unaffected.

EPLAN .edz part import
Imports a part from the EPLAN Data Portal (.edz) into a QElectroTech
element collection. The EPLAN Data Portal is the de-facto parts catalogue for
electrical CAD (ifm, Phoenix Contact, Siemens, Rittal, Weidmüller, Schneider…),
and components ship as .edz; this lets a QET user drop one straight into a
project.
Using it
Right-click a writable collection folder in the elements panel → Import an EPLAN part (.edz)… → choose the file. The generated element is written into that folder and the panel reloads.
What is imported
A .edz is a 7-Zip archive containing a part definition (*.part.xml), an EPLAN
macro (*.ema), a product image and metadata. Only the portable part data is
used:
- Terminals — each
<functiontemplate>with a physical connection designation becomes a QET terminal, labelled from its connection description. - Element information — manufacturer, order number, designation and comment fill the QET element-information fields used by the BOM / nomenclature.
- Localized names — one
<name lang="xx">per language the part provides, so the element labels itself in any QET UI language. - Symbol — a generic symbol is generated (a body rectangle with one
west-facing terminal per pin). The EPLAN
.emamacro geometry is not reproduced: it is tokenised EPLAN PXF that references EPLAN's own symbol libraries. A generic symbol is sufficient for wiring and BOM; swap in a nicer symbol in the element editor afterwards if desired.
Structure
| File | Role |
|---|---|
edzarchive.* |
Extract the .edz to a temp dir; locate part.xml |
edzsevenzip.* |
7-Zip extraction via the bundled LZMA SDK (no external 7-Zip) |
edzpart.* |
Parse part.xml into a portable model |
edzelementbuilder.* |
Build the .elmt element from the model |
edzimporter.* |
Orchestrate the above and write into a collection folder |
lzma/ |
Vendored public-domain LZMA SDK (decode-only subset) |
The non-UI classes are deliberately decoupled from the widget so they can be tested headless.
Bundled LZMA SDK
lzma/ contains the decode-only subset of Igor Pavlov's LZMA SDK (public
domain — see lzma/LZMA-SDK-LICENSE.txt), so a .edz can be unpacked without an
external 7-Zip install. Only 7-Zip-format .edz files are supported; zip-format
packages are detected and reported but not yet handled.
