Arduino Mega 2560 Shield v2.0

Yep, you need a pin in each of the three views for every pin on the board. Once you have all the pins defined you can bus all the VCC and GND pins together either in the fzp file or via the parts editor but you first have to define all the pins. That may be easiest to do (assuming you can get it to work, I usually can’t) in parts editor as that will create all the needed xml in all three views and most importantly assign sequential pin numbers while you do it.

Yeah, I noticed something like that while looking for the .svg files and .fzb of arduino mega 2560 rev3 part. They defined every pin used on the connectors tab and assigned the pin based on that. Looks like a ton of work for me

It is possible to stack connectors on top of each other in schematic but it will usually then be messy when you hook up sensors and I prefer not to do that.

I read something similar while looking on the forum. So basically, I go to my .svg file, add multiple “gnd” pin as example, all stacked on ine place and then… Something related to making them visible using a xml property.

The pcb svg looks like the spacing is close to .1 in as it should be, so I assume the pins are misaligned in x or y against a real board?

I used the arduino mega breadboard as base layout but since the shield doesn’t have the extra space due to the usb / power jack, I just picked “fit to the drawning limits” on AI. Probably I should let the white space since it has transparency. The pcb is the same from the arduino mega, the missaligned one is the breadboard.
