Hi,
I tried to stick to this tutorial to create a part for a generic Halogen lamp with G4 socket.
Now, testing that part, I can’t connect a wire to the legs in the breadboard view. But it was no problem at all to select the legs as connectors in the new part editor.
The file is attached and any help is welcome.
Best regards
Samuel

You started from a bendable leg part which won’t work here (and which parts editor can’t correct.) You need to edit the .fzp file and change this
<views>
<breadboardView>
<p terminalId="connector0terminal" legId="connector0leg" layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin"/>
</breadboardView>
to
<views>
<breadboardView>
<p terminalId="connector0terminal" layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin"/>
</breadboardView>
to match the svg. These 2 tutorials may be a better bet:

Fritzing Part Creation - Chapter1 - New Part …
Someone in this forum post
requested help to fix up a part. So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are…
