Upgrade to Fritzing 0.9.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 missing Menu Bar
How did you upgrade, via a package manager or from the install file on fritzing.org? I used the fritzing.org version on 16.04 without issues. You may need to delete the user directories first (keep a copy if you have sketches in them as well) although I;ve only used 9.3B and thus don't have an upgrade experience.

Blank RPi HAT PCB
Just wanted to say a big thanks for the pi-hat part! Started working on one today! 
On the edge of off topic, what is the best way of routing from the outer edge of the pins... try to fit them between the inner pins?

The 16*2 display in core parts (search for lcd display with the magnifying glass icon) will do. The controllers are all the same pinout, the software (and the lcd screen) control how many characters it has. You may need to check the form factor is the same, board sizes do vary somewhat, but most likely the generic one will do you.

Whatever way makes the routing easiest and satisfies the drc requirements (and the fab house's requirements) is good. Between the pins usually has the least space and takes the most care to route (i.e. you likely need to reduce the grid size to get enough clearance) but as long as the spacing is enough for your fab house that's fine.

High value ceramic capacitors?
In a project, I am using the PTN78020H power supply, and it has a recommended circuit (from the datasheet linked above) that looks like this: Circuit diagram for power supply
Now on the input, it requests a massive 4 x 4.7uF ceramic capacitors. I've had a look around and haven't found any place selling through whole ceramic capacitors in values anywhere near that.
Typically a ceramic cap is used to filter high frequencies, and electrolytic have much worse performance, so I don't want to switch all the input caps to electrolytic, but would it be feasible to, say, use 10uF electrolytic and 1uF ceramic? Tantalum caps come in the 4.7uF capacitance range, and I believe have better performance than electrolytic?
My question is pretty much: Assuming I can't get hold of 4.7uF ceramic capacitors, what should I do?

High value ceramic capacitors?
Maybe I do not understand the problem but when I search eBay for ceramic 4.7uf i get lots of results like http://www.ebay.ca/itm/100-pcs-4-7uf-50v-ceramic-multilayer-monolythic-NP-capacitors-/381221264885?hash=item58c28eddf5:g:1z8AAOSwBLlVJs8G
Edit: Digikey lists 215 different 4.7uf through hole capacitors https://www.digikey.ca/products/en/capacitors/ceramic-capacitors/60?k=ceramic+capacitor&k=&pkeyword=ceramic+capacitor&pv69=80&FV=ffe0003c%2Cmu4.7%C2%B5F%7C2049&mnonly=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25

Greetings to All!
Just joined, but I've been viewing the forum for a week or two. And I've been using Frizting for about a month or so.
A little about myself... I'm a software engineer and I've worked with embedded systems, casino gaming, GUI design and all kinds of peripheral devices, and most recently with full stack web design. I've also got a background in electronics, wire wrap("old school" LOL) and PCB design. Although my PCB experiences were when red & blue mylar tape was the way it was done (before PC layout programs! LOL). So I'm really looking forward to diving into the capabilities of Fritzing!

Has anyone made a DIP SWITCH, 4 position?
Has anyone made a DIP SWITCH 4-position?
I tried hacking the 8-position switch but the results were not perfect.
↧
Has anyone made a DIP SWITCH, 4 position?
Don't see one. While I could cut down the 8 pos one for you it is probably a better bet for you to upload the fzpz file (7th icon from the left on the reply tool bar) for the one you made and what you think is wrong with it and I'll correct that. That way you learn how to make new parts, as it sounds like you are most of the way there now ...

Greetings to All!
Welcome, feel free to ask questions as frtizing has a few quirks which are poorly documented but over all works very well...

Thanks! I've noticed one or two... but they're not difficult to work around.

Looking for a On-Off-On switch
Hi there,
I'm pretty new with Fritzing, I wanted to schematize a circuit I have done but I'm missing many components.
Lets start with the switch!
I have an arduino waiting to get a Digital HIGH on either ON positions, but I need a OFF position in the middle. None of the switch I saw has it.
I figured out some of the missing other parts like the Dual H-Bridge.
Thank's help me!

How to change all Part Connections to Bottom layer?
After a very long time I am again designing a single sided PCB with all connections and tracks on the bottom layer.
I have used a number of small ceramic caps with different values all from the list of the components.
Their connections must all be on the bottom copper layer. (green colour ?)
I presume that some have their connections are not, as some are orange & others are green!
How do I move all the connections to the green bottom layer?
Thanks
Syd

In Frtizing search for DPDT or SPDT
They stand for dual/single pole dual throw which is the type of switch you are looking for.

Best bet is to upload the fzz file (7th icon on the left on the reply toolbar) so we can have a look. If the board is single sided then everything should be on the bottom layer and the colors should indicate another problem.

Greetings to All!
The biggest trap is make sure wires are connected in SCH view, and not just sitting on top of each other.

Select the PCB and change the Inspector to single side, and then if connections aren't green they aren't actually connected. Click on a pad or bendpoint and everything connected will turn yellow. There is a FZ quirk that when you close the sketch it goes back to double sided.
