On of the advantages of working with `cross references`_ on E-CAE tools like QElectroTech is the 
posibility to find the linked `elements`_ automatically. QElectroTech allows finding a linked `element`_ 
easily.

If the `master`_ and `slave/s`_ element/s are at the same `folio`_, only by placing the mouse at one 
`element`_, the other/s will be remarked in blue. The linked `element/s`_ can also be found from the  
`element properties`_.

At the case that the `elements`_ are at different `folios`_, the linked `element/s`_ can only be found 
from the `element properties`_.
