hi All

is there some command i have to execute to make a resistor to stand up
on stripboard ? I changed to “100 mil” stand up right. But it doesnt change
i’m on a mac with the 10.14.4 OS

thanks in advance

Stand upright in core parts only changes pcb view to .1in spacing. To get breadboard you need to load a custom part. I remember making one, but can’t find it but @steelgoose made one here:

How do you get a standard resistor to draw as vertical on a breadboard?

I had put this on Fz a long time ago but can’t find the thread, so here it is again… Vertical Resistor.fzpz (4.7 KB)

If that doesn’t work for you, post again and I’ll look further. As noted in this thread a search in the forum for “top view” will find some of the parts that have been modified for perfboard.

edit:

Looks like this one may be the one I modified to add color bands:

Upright mounted generic resistor with correct 100mil footprint in breadboard view

Here is an upright standing generic resistor for use on stripboard/perfboard:Resistor upright.fzpz (5.5 KB) It was developped by vanepp and steelgoose (see also thread in parts help).
