On the PCB page the space between the hole of a placed buzzer is about 3 mm. i would like it to be 8 mm as this is the spacing on buzzer pins. Is there a way to change that ? Also the holes when there is no component are very small. A resistor pin does not even fit in. Is there a way to make them bigger.

You would either need to find a buzzer part with a 3mm pitch (a google search of the form “fritzing part buzzer 3mm pitch”, doesn’t look like there is one though. So you would either need a custom part (which you should request in the parts help catagory filling it the template with the required information. Another alternative (which will lack breadboard and schematic though) is to use 2 single pin headers and move them to be the necessary 3mm apart. The size of the hole and the surrounding pad on the via can be changed in Inspector like this:

A better alternative would be to use a single pin header like this”

Then change it to 1 pin

either way should work.

I finally restarted the editing process in a new file. But thanks to your advice, I managed to fix all my problems. I also found a buzzer with .3 inch (8mm)spacing. Here’s the new file.
