====================
Conductor properties
====================

Some `conductor properties`_ can be common at all or gran part of `conductors`_ from all or gran 
part of `folios`_. For example, the `conductor type`_ is normally common for a complete `project`_ 
or for a group of `folios`_. 

To increase the working eficiency, QElectroTech provides the option to storage at the project Data 
some `project properties`_ pre-defined by the user. This feature allows the user avoiding to define 
many `conductor properties`_ each time that the user `creates new conductor`_ inside the `project`_.

.. note ::

    QElectroTech allows defining automatically `conductor properties`_ during `project creation`_. For 
    more information about how to standarize some `conductor properties`_ from `project`_ to `project`_, 
    please refers to the `QElectroTech conductor settings`_ section.

The **Conductor** tab from **New folio** settings section allows pre-defining some `conductor properties`_:

    * `Conductor type`_ (`Multiline`_ or `Single line`_).
    * `Conductor appearance`_.

To define conductor settings: 

    1. `Display`_ project properties PopUP window.
    2. Go to **New folio** section.
    3. Go to **Conductor** tab.
    4. Define the desired parameters for each field.
    5. Press **OK** button to save the configuration changes and close project properties PopUP window.

.. note ::

    All pre-defined `conductor properties`_ at `project properties`_ will be automatically defined 
    during `folio creation`_ at `folio properties`_.
