# Aligning items: putting symbols back on the grid
|
||||
|
||||
Wires in QElectroTech run straight when the terminals at both ends line up,
|
||||
and terminals line up when their symbols sit on the grid. A symbol that is
|
||||
even a few pixels off the grid gives a bent or stepped wire.
|
||||
|
||||
Symbols leave the grid more easily than you might think:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Alt+arrow** moves a selection by 1 pixel (see
|
||||
**[Mouse modifiers](mouse_modifiers)**, §6), so a few presses leave it
|
||||
between grid points.
|
||||
- **Ctrl while dragging** places freely, ignoring the grid.
|
||||
- Projects made with older versions, or with a different grid setting, may
|
||||
already contain symbols off the grid.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example projects that ship with QElectroTech, 508 of 3,678 placed
|
||||
symbols (14 %) are off the grid.
|
||||
|
||||
Until now nothing put them back: you had to drag each symbol by eye until it
|
||||
happened to land on a grid point. This page covers the commands that do it for
|
||||
you. They were proposed in
|
||||
[discussion #1069](https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectrotech-source-mirror/discussions/1069)
|
||||
and are built one pull request at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Menu names are given in French, as QElectroTech shows them until the
|
||||
translations are updated, with an English gloss in italics.

|
||||
|
||||
### Using it
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the items to fix. **Ctrl+A** selects everything on the folio,
|
||||
which is the quickest way to tidy a whole page.
|
||||
2. Choose **Édition ▸ Aligner ▸ Aligner sur la grille** (*Edit ▸ Align ▸
|
||||
Snap to grid*). The same command is in the right-click menu of the
|
||||
selection, and in command search (**Ctrl+Shift+M**, type "grille").
|
||||
|
||||
Each selected item moves to the nearest grid point, and the status bar says
|
||||
what happened:
|
||||
|
||||
| Status bar | Meaning |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| *3 objet(s) remis sur la grille* | 3 items were off the grid and have been moved |
|
||||
| *La sélection est déjà sur la grille* | nothing needed moving; no undo step is added |
|
||||
| *(1 objet(s) verrouillé(s) laissé(s) en place)* | added when locked items were in the selection; they were not moved |
|
||||
|
||||
**One undo step** (Ctrl+Z) puts every item back where it was.
|
||||
|
||||
### Which items move, and to which grid
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Snaps to |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Symbols | the folio grid, by the symbol's origin point: exactly where dragging it would have dropped it |
|
||||
| Pictures | the folio grid |
|
||||
| Free texts | the text grid, the finer step set under **Affichage ▸ Grille des textes** (*View ▸ Text grid*), so a text you placed on a finer step is not pulled onto the coarser folio grid |
|
||||
| Shapes (lines, rectangles, polygons) | not moved: a shape is several points, and no single one is the obvious one to snap |
|
||||
| Locked items | not moved |
|
||||
| Wires | follow their symbols, as they do when you drag |
|
||||
|
||||
Items already on the grid stay exactly where they are.
|
||||
|
||||
### Things worth knowing
|
||||
|
||||
- **Half a step rounds up.** A symbol exactly half a grid step off (5 px on
|
||||
the default 10 px grid) goes to the next grid point, so "back on the grid"
|
||||
is not always "back where it was before the nudge".
|
||||
- **Holding Ctrl makes no difference.** Unlike dragging, where Ctrl means
|
||||
"ignore the grid", this command always snaps to the grid, so it still works
|
||||
if you give it a shortcut that includes Ctrl.
|
||||
- **No default shortcut.** You can assign one under **Configurer
|
||||
QElectroTech ▸ Raccourcis** (*Settings ▸ Shortcuts*); the command is listed
|
||||
in the *Éditeur de schémas* group.
|
||||
- **The grid is the folio's own grid.** If you changed the grid size in the
|
||||
preferences, symbols snap to that size.
|
||||
- **A symbol whose terminals are off the grid inside the symbol itself**
|
||||
still gives bent wires after snapping. That is a problem in the symbol, not
|
||||
its position; fix it in the **[element editor](element_editor)**.

- **The same file the Export dialog writes**, with the dialog's default

title block and so on). Given the same settings, the two are

|
||||
|
||||
Until now everything in an exported DXF sat on **layer 0**, so a CAD program
|
||||
could not tell the border from the wires. With this change each kind of
|
||||
content goes on its own layer:
|
||||
|
||||
| Layer | What is on it |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `QET_BORDER` | the folio frame, with its column and row headers |
|
||||
| `QET_TITLEBLOCK` | the title block |
|
||||
| `QET_SYMBOLS` | the drawing of each symbol |
|
||||
| `QET_SYMBOL_TEXTS` | texts belonging to symbols: labels and the like |
|
||||
| `QET_TERMINALS` | terminal markers, only when terminals are drawn (`--show-terminals` or the dialog option) |
|
||||
| `QET_WIRES` | the wires |
|
||||
| `QET_WIRE_NUMBERS` | the texts on wires |
|
||||
| `QET_JUNCTIONS` | junction dots |
|
||||
| `QET_TEXTS` | free texts |
|
||||
| `QET_XREFS` | cross-references: contact tables beside a master, labels beside a slave |
|
||||
| `QET_SHAPES` | lines, rectangles, ellipses and polygons drawn on the folio |
|
||||
| `QET_TABLES` | tables such as the parts list |
|
||||
| `QET_IMAGES` | the outline boxes that stand in for pictures |
|
||||
|
||||
The names are fixed and English, whatever language QElectroTech runs in, so
|
||||
a CAD user's layer filters and scripts keep working. The `QET_` prefix keeps
|
||||
them together in the layer list and apart from the receiving drawing's own

|
||||
|
||||
**Colours.** Where QElectroTech sets no colour of its own, entities take
|
||||
their layer's colour (*BYLAYER*), so recolouring a layer in the CAD program
|
||||
recolours everything on it. The file still looks the same when opened, since
|
||||
every layer starts white on black, black on white. Wires keep the colour they
|
||||
have on the folio: until this change every wire was exported in the default
|

colour, and 723 of the 3,190 wires in the example projects lost theirs. A

two-colour wire gets its main colour.

# Grouping items on a folio
|
||||
|
||||
Some things on a folio belong together: a picture and its caption, a symbol
|
||||
with a frame drawn round it, a block of symbols with the notes that explain
|
||||
them. Without groups they have to be selected piece by piece every time they
|
||||
move or are copied, and it is easy to leave one behind.
|
||||
|
||||
**Grouper** (*Group*) ties selected items together so that they select,
|
||||
move, copy and delete as one. **Dégrouper** (*Ungroup*) undoes it. This was
|
||||
asked for in [issue #349](https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectrotech-source-mirror/issues/349)
|
||||
and on the forum ([#2467](https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2467),
|
||||
[#356](https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=356)), and proposed in
|
||||

## 1. Making a group
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select two or more items. Any mix of these can be grouped:
|
||||
- symbols,
|
||||
- free texts,
|
||||
- shapes (lines, rectangles, ellipses, polygons),
|
||||
- pictures.
|
||||
2. Choose **Édition ▸ Grouper** (*Edit ▸ Group*). It is also in the
|
||||
right-click menu of the selection, and in command search
|
||||
(**Ctrl+Shift+M**, type "grouper").
|
||||
|
||||
**Grouper** is greyed out when the selection is fewer than two items, or is
|
||||
already exactly one group.
|
||||
|
||||
**Wires are never part of a group.** They are drawn between symbols, so they
|
||||
follow their symbols when the group moves, exactly as they do today.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Working with a group
|
||||
|
||||
| You do | What happens |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Click any member | the whole group is selected |
|
||||
| Drag a member | the whole group moves |
|
||||
| Arrow keys, with the group selected | the whole group moves |
|
||||
| Draw a selection rectangle that touches part of a group | the whole group is selected when you release the mouse |
|
||||
| **Ctrl**+click a member of a selected group | the whole group leaves the selection, as a single item would |
|
||||
| **Ctrl**+click a member of an unselected group | the whole group joins the selection |
|
||||
| Copy, cut, **Delete** | act on the whole group |
|
||||
| **Shift+Space**, **Pivoter le groupe** (*rotate as group*) | the whole group turns 90° round its centre, keeping its layout |
|
||||
| **Space**, **Pivoter** (*rotate*) | each member turns where it stands, as for any selection |
|
||||
| Paste | the copy is a new group of its own, separate from the original |
|
||||
| Duplicate a folio | each group on it becomes a new group on the copy |
|
||||
|
||||
Clicking a member of a group that is already selected keeps the whole group
|
||||
selected.
|
||||
|
||||
**Grouping groups merges them.** Select a group and another item (or
|
||||
another group) and choose **Grouper**: the result is one group holding all of
|
||||
them. There are no groups inside groups.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Ungrouping
|
||||
|
||||
Select a group, or any member of it, and choose **Édition ▸ Dégrouper**
|
||||
(*Edit ▸ Ungroup*), also in the right-click menu and command search. Every
|
||||
member becomes a separate item again, and nothing moves.
|
||||
|
||||
Both commands are undoable. Undoing **Dégrouper** restores exactly the groups
|
||||
there were before, not new ones.
|
||||
|
||||
Neither command has a default shortcut (**Ctrl+G** is already *go to
|
||||
element*). You can assign one under **Configurer QElectroTech ▸ Raccourcis**
|
||||

## 4. In the project file
|
||||
|
||||
Each grouped item carries one extra attribute, `group`, holding the group's
|
||||
id; members of the same group share the id. Nothing else in the file
|
||||
changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- A project **without** groups saves exactly as it did before, byte for byte.
|
||||
- An **older version** of QElectroTech opens a project with groups, shows
|
||||
every item, and simply ignores the grouping. If it saves the project, the
|
||||
groups are lost.
|
||||
|
||||
Groups are also recorded in the project database (a `group_uuid` column on
|
||||
the element, shape, free-text and picture tables), so a query or script can
|
||||
find which items belong together. See
|
||||
**[The project database](project_database)**.

Planned in [discussion #1070](https://github.com/qelectrotech/qelectrotech-source-mirror/discussions/1070),
|
||||
not built:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Editing one member without ungrouping.** For now, ungroup, edit, and
|
||||
group again.
|
||||
- **Space rotating a group as a unit.** Today Space turns each member in
|
||||
place; use **Shift+Space** (*Pivoter le groupe*) to turn the group as a
|
||||
whole.
|
||||
- **Nested groups.**
|
||||
- **Locked items.** A locked member is not treated specially: it stays where
|
||||
it is while the rest of its group moves.
|
||||
- **Groups in the symbol editor** ([element editor](element_editor)).
|
||||
|
||||
**Grouper les textes sélectionnés** (*group the selected texts*), which
|
||||
groups the texts of one symbol, is a different, older feature and is not
|
||||
affected.
