I am trying to add labels to all my wires and it seems to work to a certain extend using text-elements:
But then sometimes, the text just disappears behind the wires:
And it does not appear to be possible to make it visible again. I tried Raise and Lower → Bring to Front on the text elements and Send to Back on the wires, but that just seems to make it worse, hiding all the text behind the wires.
It is very difficult to maintain this way. Not only because the labels keep hiding behind the wires, but also because the labels don’t move when the wires move.
What version are you using? I could not managed to put text labels on top of wires in 1.0.3.
I think this is a bug in Fritzing and you may report it in the bug tracker. It seems that logo items (letx elements) are treated as regular parts, when it should treated as labels. You can activate the layer pane (Windows->layers) and disable enable the different layers. In Fritzing, the breadboard elements are at the bottom, then the parts, then the wires and then the labels.
Yes, that is quite outdated. In any case, that version has a bug that allowed you to put the text on top of the wire, but I think that has fixed or at least the raise and lower commands work better between the elements of the same type. In 1.0.3, you will probably not be able to add the text on top of the wires. It needs to be reported as a bug.
I managed to install 1.0.3 now and indeed I can’t seem to have text above the wires anymore.
So I guess at least the behavior is gonna be consistent now, but not being able to have wire labels or text on wires is a real bummer. Is there no other way?
