During the import process of a part, the part does not import and produces an error message ‘The system cannot find the file specified’. I have tried to import several parts from several sources, all failed with the same error message. It does not matter where I download the parts to on my PC, they all fail to import.
…
What I expected should have happened instead:
Parts can be imported.
…
My version of Fritzing and my operating system:
1.0.2
Windows 11
…
Please also attach any files that help explaining this problem
The first thing to check would be that you have write permissions to the path specified. The most likely answer is that it can’t write the file. Try writing a file to the specified directory (which should look like this, although this is Win10 not Win11)
Assuming you don’t now have any imported parts, clearing the user directories will cause Fritzing to recreate the needed directories which may fix the problem (although this hasn’t been a problem in recent years.)
There are two user directories (with your parts and the parts database) which don’t get touched during an install (to not affect your sketches during upgrades). On Windows they are in
c:\users\username\AppData\Fritzing\roaming\Fritzing (which is a hidden directory so you need to enable hidden directories in explorer) and
c:\Users\username\My Documents\Fritzing (where username is your windows id)
If you don’t have any parts or sketches you want to keep you can just delete those two directories and Fritzing will recreate them, or you can move them aside by renaming them if you want to keep something in them.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
Followed the instruction but it doesn’t work.
Even parts that I’ve used to import and work with now don’t work anymore.
This is the error I get. incomplete, subfile not found 'breadboard.Teensy
Could you please help?
An image of the exact error message you are getting along with the Fritzing version and operating system would be useful. As @RAPTOR7762 mentioned trying File->Open is a good bet as is dragging the .fzpz file in to the sketch (which will automatically load it as well.) If double clicking on the .fzpz file doesn’t load it there is likely a missing association in your operating system. Reloading your Frizing version to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted would also be a good bet.
Yes. It also depends – when I updated Fritzing versions on my windows 11 machine, sometimes the files are associated, sometimes no. As you can see, my COM adds the fritzing logos to fritzing files
the breadboard svg missing is the main problem, the version number missing will clear and let it load if you click OK (although the original part has a correct version number, as I didn’t get such a message when loading.) @RAPTOR7762 is correct the best bet is to upload the .fzpz file (which should be teensy-4.0.fzpz, upload is 7th icon from the left in the reply menu) and then we can look at and correct as needed the part (I made the original one.) You may want to try loading this one (which is the original part)
