Hello!
I created a standalone parts editor for Fritzing.
I’d be happy to introduce it to you if you’re interested!
Here is a demo video:
Hi,
I find this very interesting. Where can you try it out?
Best, Harald!

I added the information in a comment on the YouTube video.
(I’m sorry for the extra trouble. I thought it might not be appropriate to make such a direct promotion here.)
You’re creating the PCB view with it, right?
That’s very interesting. For the schematic there’s a plugin for Inkscape, but I’m not aware of anything comparable for the PCB view.
The fzpz file you end up with — is it without the breadboard and schematic?
Could you please upload the fzp and the pcb.svg here?
Could you also upload the project with the source code to GitHub? Your YouTube comment links to an exe file. I use Linux.
Best regards, Harald!
Since the main purpose of this software is to create PCBs, the other views, such as the schematic and breadboard views, are kept to a minimum. (More precisely, they display the same artwork as the PCB view.)
This may not be sufficient for everyone, but personally, I find it perfectly adequate for my needs.
I’m sorry, but the software was developed exclusively for Windows PCs.
Also, since this is a personal project, I currently have no plans to release the source code. However, if creating Fritzing parts using commercial software violates any of Fritzing’s rules or policies, I am willing to reconsider this.

Ah, now I understand your approach. You’re absolutely right — if I want to wrap a circuit board, the PCB view is what matters first.
Maybe the software could also generate a schematic. As I mentioned, that’s what the Inkscape plugin is for. When I’m developing a circuit board, I usually start from the schematic. Your program already handles the more complex parts of the XML file.
But I don’t want to tell you what to do — I just unfortunately can’t use it.
Best regards, Harald!
