How can I make a new part like a electrolytic compensator that can be flipped “Flip” or “Umdrehen” (German) horizontal?
There are fliphorizontal and flipvertical properties for the breadboard view definition. Set the appropriate ones to “true”. See the Views and layers in the part file format document on the wiki. I believe this has to be done by editing the fzp file manually. I don’t think the Parts Editor has a way to set those, but I seldom use the Parts Editor, so might not know how.
For more extensive information, these two sets of tutorials apply to the current versions of Fritzing (most of the others are for older versions of the software.)

A series of part creation videos - I’m not an expert, but there was nothing else around at the time.
Use 1080p HD fullscreen to see details clearly - use gear symbol bottom right -.
Recorded slowly for older people, so select a higher speed if it’s too slow.
P.S. - Sorry about the voice/sound

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…

That was easy. Thank you.
