Custom part for "Thonkiconn" PJ398SM switching mono jack

these are the 3.5mm jacks commonly used for DIY synths. there’s a part attached in this topic for the older version PJ301M-12, but the breadboard view isn’t actually correct, the spacing of the legs is off, and it’s difficult to use because it’s a side view. i used that file as a starting point; my version is drawn top-down, with correct spacing for the legs:

Which is why we have FritzingCheckPart.py

Which has this to say:

Found a drawing element before a layerId (or no layerId)

The warning isn’t deadly, it just makes selection more difficult. The missing layerId will cause the part to not export as an image (svg, pdf, jpg etc.) which can be a problem. Easy to fix though, for the layerId just change the existing group name to breadboard in the breadboard svg:

Then invert the silkscreen and copper groups in the pcb svg:
