Well, that workaround is not looking far enough. If there is a problem with placing elements precisely i could of course try to build the component completely in inkscape or whatever, but when i’m aligning those parts in the pcb editor i’ll have the exact same problem again. Ok, i could then build an svg of all of my parts together, but then… why use fritzing at all, if i have to do everything in an svg editor anyway?
Thats the problem. I’ve specified a bug, and that bug will likely make others turn away from fritzing too.
It seems to be related to this: Exact placement of holes on boards
What are the chances of someone looking into the code and actually fixing that issue?
