My usual workflow is documented here:

Part creation howto part 1 breadboard and pcb

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…

FritzingCheckPart is in the testing section I think (there are about 9 sections)

There would still be some duplication in the schematic view, but I kind of find it weird to have 20 gnd pins in a schematic? Is there a way to make that cleaner and still correct, or should i just suck it up and create all those pins?

As far as I know they all have to exist for Fritzing internals to operate correctly. The usual method (and what I will use) is to overlay all the pins in the group on top of each other. It may be that your method will work, but I think it more likely that something is going to screw up internally in Fritzing when it comes across one of the duplicate pin numbers and that is going to be fairly difficult to diagnose when someone runs in to it. I’m part way through fixing up your part to a more standard format I should have a corrected part in a while.
