> In breadboard view, is there a possibility for combining wires to busses ?

In Fritzing bus has a different meaning than in other EDAs (where multiple wires exist in a single container), in Fritzing a bus describes pins that have an internal connection to each other in a single part. There isn’t a bus part that contains many wires (at least so far.)  
One quirk (actually a bug) on part properties that may bite you, if you load 2 custom parts in to Fritzing which should have selectors, the selectors may not become active until you save the mine parts bin and restart Fritzing. If you are making custom parts these two tutorials apply to current versions of Fritzing (most of the rest are for older versions)

> 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…

and this Inkscape extension makes creating schematics much easier.

> Hi all! I have been working on an extension for Inkscape to create rectangular schematic symbol .svg files for use in Fritzing. I think I created a useful tool to speed up creation of schematic symbols, and now I want to share it with the community. It’s available on github: [https://github.com/revolt-randy/Fritzing-Schematic-an-Inkscape-Extension.](https://github.com/revolt-randy/Fritzing-Schematic-an-Inkscape-Extension.) To install: In Inkscape, the edit menu → user preferences → system will have an option for ‘User extensions’ - allowing you to open the folder to…

If you run in to problems (which you probably will 🙂 ) feel free to post the .fzpz file that is failing and one of us will give you a hand.
