Cross references settings
=========================

QElectroTech provides the option to storage at the Data from the application some `project properties`_ 
pre-defined by the user. This feature allows the user avoiding to define many `project properties`_ 
each time that the user `creates new projects`_. 

The **Cross references** tab from **New project** settings section allows pre-defining some 
`cross references properties`_:

    * Cross references type (Coil, organ of protection or Switch/button).
    * Cross references label
    * Representation position cross references label (Under the label of the element or Footer).
