@time Have uploaded the two files to Dropbox. Email has gone to you.

Be aware, you will have install the files as the SU since you can't seem to get sudo to work. From the command line,

$ su
enter password to switch to the super user.

'# cd downloads or where ever you downloaded the files to.
'# yum install *.rpm

If there is a problem, try installing the individual files. I hope this helps/works.

The Linux distro I use, the forum mods were talking about a producing a scientific spin. If you are interested, pop on over to https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=39722&hilit=scientific This distro is light weight and runs fantastically well. If you have requests for packages, the guys get right on it and build away, if possible.

Thank you, Instructions were straight forward...
I just logged on DropBox.com and can not find the files.
if it all failes can you just attach it my email
wavelets@bigpond.com.au
files would be in kbytes...

Yes that is true - SL6 is now SL7 based on (RHLE).
I am using SL6 with all the upgraded libraries , SL6 Distro icons and lay out is better.
I tried both SL6 initially and later 7 they both have the same problem.
SL6 works well with Matlab 2015b and installs from root dir of the DVD.
I have tried Ubuntu ,Debian ( Raspberry ver ) and other Distros with Linux. I am interested in mathematics signal processing - ie Wavelets and SL6 comes with C++ compiler, Phython, platform trageted compilers and many Wavelet tool kits. I am using Arduino target boards and have started using Raspbian boards. Raspbian -boards are linux and hence my interst in Linux but I am on a steep learning curve. Perhaps at this early stage it might be worth swapping from SL to Ubunto-Kde or Raspbian. anyway its always decisions that are made by hindsight...

Can FZ slot drill?

I made the contacts rectangles and rounded the corners, but in the Gerbers there is no drill holes.

Same problem. WHERE IS THE MAGNIFIER ! Everything else but NO MAGNIFIER
Hence searching for Parts is a nightmare, What about a simple search bar.

Here is what Help says
"Can't find your part? Search for it by clicking the magnifier icon in the Parts Bin and type in some keywords"
Oh Really ? As we can see help where you would think information might be found is itself is lacking any proper explanation of Where the Magnifier let alone the Parts Bin is,

The magnifier should be at the right top of the screen in the Parts Bin window, right below the word Parts. After you enter a search word(s) hit the enter key. It doesn't work by clicking on the magnifier like other programs.

If the Parts Bin window is not open, click on Window in the main menu and the click Parts to open the Parts window.

Morning Old Gray,

That is a fab house question... You could overlap multiple drill hole to make a slot, but fab houses do not like it and may leave them out or not do the board. Overlapping drill holes can break the very small drill bits. Some slots can be inserted in the board shape file and they are inserted in the router process when routing the board. Every fab house has there own specification for the minimum width of the slot. I believe OSH Park specifies 0.1" minimum width. I think some Chinese fab houses will do narrower and specified in mm. Best to check with the fab house... I seen them done... may depend on their equipment.

After you draw the trace, in the Inspector window, next to width, click on the drop down window and select 8 or 12 mill. that will go between the pins. 8 or 12 mill is fine of data. Power should be a little heaver depending on the current. Also, in the main menu under View, set grid to 0.05" and make sure your pins line up with the grid. Draw a short 45 from the connector pin then virtually between the 2 connector pins. Sometimes the DRC will say you are too close to the pins... you are normally OK and can ignore it.

Never use auto rout and don't make 90" corners, they should be 45s. Draw all traces on 90 and 45 deg. with few minor exceptions. Don't draw ground traces... use the Ground Fill instead.

Actually not, I tried that a long time ago, the Core bins are a little different then "my parts" and the code to create the categories in the core bins will not work in my parts. What you can do is create custom bins... just don't name it my parts and drag them to the top so all your my parts are all together. You could name them My custom parts, My gadgets, or anything you would like. If you name it my parts, you will have duplicate my parts bins sharing the same parts and I never figured out how the get rid of the second one...

I was more wondering about the drill.txt file being empty, but now it looks like fab houses will have a problem.

When you export it this is all you get.

; NON-PLATED HOLES START AT T1
; THROUGH (PLATED) HOLES START AT T100
M48
INCH
%
T00
M30

I was wondering if there was a special way to draw it.

It's a 1mm slot 2mm long.

The main problem is that the pins are 1.5 x 0.8mm, so a round hole would be huge.

I can't remember seeing a part in FZ with a slot.

It's in the pic 7 posts up.

Explore how the bin works, it could be that you haven't scrolled the bin index to the top.

Some of the parts I have with micro usb have slots for the position pins. I don't know if they are overlapping holes or little bitty router bits that create them. I know that little holes that are too small for a drill bit are drilled with laser drills. I don't know if slots can be cutout with lasers. The slot for micro usb are plated holes so they need to be done before the router process. There are China fab houses that will make them... I just don't know how they are made. You could just make a hole 1.8 mm and fill it up with solder... Or maybe drill two holes close to each other and cut the center out to connect the holes when they come back from the fab house.

It's not for me because I do it at home and it's just 2 x 1mm holes side by side, it's just if I post the part I want to make sure the slots are there and production houses can understand it.

I found 1 mini USB B with 5th pin broken out, with a slot that is 2 overlapping holes.

Thank you -
Not user of Drop box - but I am now.
got two files:
===============
When I run: fritzing-0.9.3b+dfsg-4.x86_64.rpm
I get following..
========================
fritzing-0.9.3b+dfsg-4.x86_64 requires libgit2.so.24()(64bit)
fritzing-0.9.3b+dfsg-4.x86_64 requires libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit)
===================
I also tried running..
fritzing-data-0.9.3b+dfsg-4.noarch.rpm
It worked but I got no idea what it did...
was there a prefered order of installing ?

It appears the QT5 program is missing from the computer, if I was a betting man.

Do you have a GUI Package Manager? Might be a bit easier to install the dependencies.
