Help with custom pot

[gpeyton]

Hi,

I’m having trouble with a custom pot:

• The pins don’t seem to be recognized so I can’t connect it to the breadboard.
• The breadboard part is offgrid and isn’t aligning with the breadboard. I tried aligning the grid to 0.1" in Inkscape, but it’s still off in the part editor.

Please note that I don’t care about schematic and PCB views, so I’m using placeholders for those. I only care about the breadboard view.

I’ve added the original files below.

Many thanks for your help!

Here are my settings… I’m not sure they’re exporting correctly

Your svg is fine, your problem is you cloned the part from a moveable leg part and you don’t have (and likely don’t want!) the correct attributes to make that work. In the fzp file you need to remove the legId part of the connector definition from

<connector id="connector0" name="1" type="male">
 <description>1</description>
 <views>
  <breadboardView>
   <p legId="connector0leg" layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin"/>
  </breadboardView>

to

<connector id="connector0" name="1" type="male">
 <description>1</description>
 <views>
  <breadboardView>
   <p layer="breadboard" svgId="connector0pin"/>
  </breadboardView>

and repeat for all pins. I have done that in this part and now it works.
