Thank you for this question, but meanwhile I have seen this button do
exist already. I will pay attention for while I write the manual. Thank
you!! Sorry, Obviously sometimes I should start a better test before I
write about a "missing" Element.

Sorry, this does not seem to be what I mean. I mean a parent-child
relation. I.e: There is a contactor with 2 auxiliary contacts. 
The contactor themselve is shown in page 1, the auxiliary contacts are
drawn on page 2 and page 3. Below of the contactor symbol could be shown
now an information where the auxiliary contacts are drawn within this
diagram. This of course is quite helpfull for diagrams of 5 or more
pages. Although I know in asian diagrams this feature does not exist
anyway, in european diagrams this one is already more or less standard.

Yes!! :=) This is perfect!!
Which way a user can go to transmit the symbols he made by himself?
Are there specific files he have to transfer as an attachment or
similar?

Thank you. Markus did let me have already the files "translation.html"
and "alpha_qet_de.ts". This helps quite well. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I will come back later to this matter. First of all
I will have to prepare the manual anyway.

Thats right. I agree completely. Due to I will concentrate my efforts
still on the matter of a User-manual.
