> [@KingDarBoja](#): > > Woah! That was a fast fix. Once you get through the parts creation learning curve (which took me around a year) making parts becomes reasonably easy and fast. Here is how I would make this part. The changes are Made a new part (so both can be loaded in to Fritzing at the same time) with parts editor. rescale the parts to the standard (optional, it will work fine without doing this, but it is desirable to have all parts at one scale). breadboard ungroup everything rescale move the connectors to be on .1 in grid (doesn’t match real life exactly probably but keeps the wires straight). Select all and group name the group breadboard. Without the breadboard group exporting the part as a svg doesn’t work. Schematic ungroup everything rescale reduce the size of the item to be on .2 inch centers (.1 in centers is the usual spacing for most parts though) add 4 .01in rectangles as the terminalId as they were indeed missing and place them on the end of the pins (parts editor can do this as well). Select all group and name the group schematic to set the correct layerId. pcb ungroup everything rescale group the connectors in to copper1/copper0 group group silkscreen in to group silkscreen (the original was silkscreen\_2 and thus didn’t show up in the gerbers). fzp file: removed the terminalId from the breadboard definitions (as they aren’t in the svg) not really necessary but neater. Ran the part file through the parts check script to remove font-size px values and check for no errors Then zip them all to create this fzpz file.

I did although it probably needs updating with some of the things I have learned since: > [@A new part creation HowTo (long! So long it is in 2 posts)](http://forum.fritzing.org/t/a-new-part-creation-howto-long-so-long-it-is-in-2-posts/2238): > > (Edit: November 2016: This is an updated (and corrected) version of the original parts creation howto. This version corrects some suggestions (mostly saving Inkscape files as optimized svg which turns out to cause other problems) with the first version and expands the section on parts testing. While there doesn’t appear to be a lot of interest in this subject I’ll make at least this update so the information is as correct as I can get it.) This is a description of how I made the Valor PM6078-00… I’m assuming Old\_Grey’s videos are the tutorials you are currently using (which may be more useful than mine as well 🙂 ), if not they are available here: > [@Fritzing PART CREATION Video Tutorial Series](http://forum.fritzing.org/t/fritzing-part-creation-video-tutorial-series/2647/3): > > Fritzing Part Creation - Chapter3 - Inkscape Advanced Essentials Learning how to draw in Inkscape - more features. 0:00 Overview 0:16 Select object with cursor and XML Editor 3:34 Manipulate special PDF’s in Inkscape 4:33 XML Editor - Direct drawing manipulation 6:05 XML Editor - Making group, moving object, changing layer height 7:27 Cursor - Changing layer height 8:21 Ruler 9:07 Grids 9:28 Snap selection 10:16 Drawing origin Peter --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fritzing.org/t/dc-dc-converter-with-xl4016/5576)._
