Thanks, took a bit of a battle through the videos and finally have the drawing made up. Think I have it right. Attached the svg below.

Minature Thermocouple to PCB connector. How Do I Make It?
By and large looks fine, a couple of minor points. In the pcb svg copper0 should be under copper1 (doing an indent node on the copper0 group will fix that) the result is you only have a copper0 (bottom) pad in the gerbers, the top pad is missing.. Your hole sizes are a little non standard. the terminal holes show as being 0.511 (1.3 mm) in the pdf but are 0.066743 in the gerbers, my list of free drill sizes from a local pcb supplier indicates .0520 or .0595 as free drill sizes so you may want to switch to one of those (and.or check with your favorite fab house for their list). For the mounting hole, .125 shows as a free size so you may want to switch to that (although the current 0.106 matches their hole, larger by a bit shouldn't hurt).

Thanks for giving it a look over Vanepp 
It did give me an error about the copper nodes but I thought I had done it right, must have forgotten to indent.
I never even thought about making the holes the same size of the drills, DOH. Seems obvious now. Never made a PCB before so this is my first go.

Not a problem, although I rarely make boards so you would be best to post the completed board here for some of the more experienced folks to look over and run the design rules checker under routing.
A gerber viewer (use gerbv from the geda project, but there are online ones and other packages) to look at the gerbers that the board will be made from is also a good bet. Good luck!

Creating a new part
This is my first day at Fritzing. It looks like all I might ever want.
I wanted to use an item not in any library that I could find (cd4011, 7 DIL chip). So, I wanted to either create or modify an existing 14Dil item, and possibly create a blank DIL chip outline for easy use as a template.
2 problems I encountered:
1, There seems to be no way to create new parts except for modifying an existing item one has placed within a project which has to be placed within a project otherwise the editing option line is feint and not available. i.e. you cannot create a new part from scratch.
- To modify an existing part, all aspects function except for the "Schematic" window icon which seems to be uneditable.
If it is me, please help.
If not, what a pity.
Thanks

Creating a new part
While parts creation is indeed exciting, in this case someone has preceded you. If you search in the parts bin (the magnifying glass) for 4011 you will find an excellent multipart (where you can move around individual gates) or a single part (all together) from one of our better parts makers. If you do need to make parts later here are a couple of recent tutorials to help you along:

DC Barrel Jack Adapter Male
Well knock me over with a feather! This hare brained scheme actually appears to work at first blush, Some notes, the plug is a bit odd in that the bendable leads are female (as opposed to normal connections which are male), so you need to drag the wire from the connector to the end of the bendable lead to make the connection. But other than that as this sketch demonstrates this appears to work. If you download this you can export the 2 custom parts from the temp parts bin which will at least give you a male barrel connector breadboard icon (and its associated female connector if you actually want to try connecting it). You can (and probably should) move the plug to top in part->raise and lower as that is how it is designed to look plugged in. The connection doesn't appear to care as in the sketch it is the wrong way but still connects. The schematic view is truly ugly as I'm no artist, if one of you artistic types would like to come up with a better schematic view I would be most appreciative 
. I tried to get across the jack connects to the plug but as I said its ugly. Its also currently hard to reproduce if you make changes with Inkscape. I have a perl script that does a number of things (removes pxs and inlines style commands, as the first breaks fonts and the second breaks bendable leads (as does most anything else come to that ). Even then manual editing is required because the perl isn't entirely correct yet although it is getting closer. Consider this experimental for the moment. I'll probably try and cobble together wall wart and battery parts that can use this (as that is the primary use case as far as I can see). Luckily I remembered to try and load this file before posting, as it was broken. I needed to get the new plug blessed by loading it in to parts editor and exporting it and then using the exported version of the file. My original unblessed part loads fine but won't reload as part of a sketch when saved. This at least reloads for me so hopefully it will for you as well.

Pay to get fritzing parts added?
I am doing some work with Fritzing, and there are two parts that I would really like added, but I don't have the time or creative power to make new parts. One should be simple and the other one shouldn't be hard as much as it may take a little graphics work. I am willing to pay a small amount of money to get these done. If these already exist somewhere, please let me know where.
1) A button with only two pins - all of the buttons in the parts bin have four pins, but I hate having students work with four-pin buttons, because they always put it in sideways. Additionally, they always jump off of the breadboard. So I always buy buttons with just two pins. However, there isn't a matching part in Fritzing that I could find. The specific button I am using is here: http://www.banggood.com/100Pcs-Momentary-Tactile-Tact-Push-Button-Switch-2-Pin-DIP-6x6x5mm-p-1051991.html?rmmds=search
2) I have never figured out what the part number is for this (maybe MB-102, but that's actually the breadboard part number I think), but many breadboards are shipping with these really awesome power supplies that you can get for under a dollar each that attach directly to your breadboard. They are great because it is super-easy to add a battery to them or plug them into a wall or power them with USB. Anyway, you can see one here - http://www.banggood.com/5Pcs-MB102-Breadboard-Module-Adapter-Shield-3_3V5V-For-Arduino-Board-p-1009201.html?rmmds=search
There are a few other items on the wishlist (like smaller-profile electrolytic capacitors), but those have been my two biggest issues, and if someone was willing I would be willing to negotiate an amount to build those, and preferably make them open source and part of the standard parts list. You can email me directly at jonathan@bartlettpublishing.com or post here if you know of where I can find such parts.

Strange the bin doesn't have a 2 pin momentary sw, but it shouldn't be too hard.
The 2nd one will be a bit of work, but a vaguely remember a board that shape.
I'm sure Peter will look into it, but he will probably need a datasheet/drawing.
EDIT
This is the one it reminded me of.

Creating a new part
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I seemed to have tried all ways, including your suggestion of "searching" for parts named 4011. All I find are my previous attempts at editing a 74xxx chip which happens to be a 14DIL and, since they are rubbish because I couldn't fully edit the schematic and change internal gate diagrams to suit, I tried to delete them. No right-clicking option to do that either.
No multipart items as you describe are to be found.
When editing an existing part, the schematic allows no alteration whatsoever, just metadata.
Clearly, I am not on the same page here. Sorry for being a dumbo but something is "getting lost in my translation".
FYI. In order to try to remove the baddies, I uninstalled Fritzing, searched and deleted any related files found on the hard drive, reinstalled Fritzing and, you guessed it, the baddies remain.
Time for a whisky, I think.
Regards
Alan

I believe your button is also known as a 'switch'. Looking/searching in the parts bin I find several of them. One of which is bound to suit your needs. Have a look again. I've used something very similar footprint wise inside my projects. Good luck!

Creating a new part
OK time to ask some questions Are you on the latest version 0.9.3? If so which operating system (I'm on Win7 pro, but as long as you are on 0.9.3 you should be fine)? If you are in 0.9.3 make sure you have network access (because it needs to get to github to update the parts data base) and then in Fritzing run help->check for updates (which will check github, this is supposed to be automatic but I just had a case where mine missed an update until I did a manual check). The 4011 part is a late update, around November I think. Once the updates complete (if they are needed) then entering 4011 in the parts search window and hitting enter should come up with 4 parts, A microchip dsp, the 4011 single part the 4011 multi part and another dsp. As to editing parts as I said intitially it is exciting. The new parts editor is a work in progress and not entirely finished (I rarely use it, and tend to create parts entirely outside of Fritzing and then import them to be blessed). The graphics for both breadboard and schematic are in svg files and they are typically edited by Inkscape (open source and what I use) or one of the commercial packages such as Corel Draw or illistrator. The tutorials listed give the gory details , it isn't easy and has a steep learning curve but it is possible. The parts editor allows you to make a generic box like schematic for cases where that is acceptable, the real logic diagrams need to be created in an svg file.As to the files, if you are on Windows (as I am) then the user files are in a hidden directory in c:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Fritzing and c:\User\user_name\My Documents\Fritzing. (where username is your windows username) To see at least the AppData one you have to enable show hidden files in explorer. The paths for the other OSes are in the documentation somewhere (I can find it if needed).

For item 2 it is available from here somewhere (I have a copy):
(edit with a better url):
http://omnigatherum.ca/wp/?tag=fritzing
Its in the forth set and still available as YwRobot_Breadboard_Power_Supply_v5.fzpz. There are a number of other interesting items in here too (although some of them I couldn't find any more). Adafruit also has a large repository of their parts that they maintain which may have the button you are looking for.

Where to find TSSOP parts
Hello,
After searching for a while in internet and trying to build the parts myself, I found extremely complex to build custom parts and did not found any viable for TSSOP components.
In particular, I would need a TSSOP-14.
Does any of you have it already, or know where I could found it?
Kind regards,
Adrian M.
