This is actually an issue with Linux. I often have dialog boxes off the screen from all kinds of programs. You can try alt+F7 to see if you can move it otherwise you can just press enter to continue.
Thanks a lot steelgoose… the files are really useful 
Although it won’t help with this issue, there is a later version of Fritzing (0.9.3b) available although possibly not as a package for your os. Upgrading is as easy as downloading the install file from fritzing.org and uncompressing it in to a directory. Works fine on both Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 for me.

Export a circuit with the HC-05 module as SVG
I’ve also tried downloading https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-parts/blob/master/svg/core/breadboard/HC-05-male_breadboard.svg to /Documents/Fritzing/user/svg/core/breadboard/ but it crashes.
Having the HC-05 module as SVG
Fritzing 0.9.3
Linux debian 4.9.0-8-amd64
The breadboard svg lacks a breadboard layer ID which causes this problem. I’ll post a corrected version in a while. You can obtain the svg from either the local parts repository in the path/svg/breadboard directory on your local machine or (as I did because I need a new part moduleId so you can load my corrected part) by right clicking on the part in the parts bin and click edit with new parts editor, then save as new part. That creats a second part (with a new moduleId) in the parts bin. Right click the new part and click export part. That will create a .fzpz file. Save that and then unzip the .fzpz file which will give you the fzp file and the 4 svg files.

Hallo,
ich bin neu hier und habe mir die Software vor kurzem erst installiert.
Ist es möglich, eine LED in der Software zum leuchten zu bringen, also
interaktiv, sodass man gleich sieht ob eine Schaltung (ohne PI o.ä.) funktioniert?
Gibt es eine Glühbirne in der Bauteilenliste?
Danke schon mal.
Unfortunately there is no simulation in Fritzing so you can’t tell if a circuit will work without building it on a real breadboard. A google search for
“fritzing part light bulb” turns up this one among others.
(via google translate):
Leider gibt es in Fritzing keine Simulation, so dass Sie nicht erkennen können, ob eine Schaltung funktioniert, ohne sie auf einem echten Steckbrett zu bauen. Eine Google-Suche nach
“fritzing part glühbirne” bringt unter anderem diese auf.

can export from Fritzing software a PCB design -to-> pcb123 software by SunStone?
If you want to transfer both schematic and pcb to the pcb123 package, then probably no. The schematic format is internal to Fritzing and there is no export mechanism that I know of. Fritzing will export the pcb as a standard gerber file which the board house part pcb123 should be able to make boards from though, if they don’t require the design to be in pcb123. The gerber files can be obtained from Fritzing by clicking
File>export>for production->Extended Gerber (RS-247x)
Most any pcb house should be able to make boards from the gerbers.

Hallo
Wie kann ich bei meiner erstellten Platine ein Loch platzieren, das daraufhin gefräst/gebohrt wird?
Mfg Flagga01
In the parts window on the right side of Fritzing, in the core parts bin, at the bottom marked Pcb View, the last icon on the right top row is hole. Drag that icon in to the pcb view and then you can adjust the size of the hole in the Inspector Window on the bottom right to set the size you want.
via google translate:
In dem Teilefenster auf der rechten Seite von Fritzing in der Kernteilkiste unten in der Ansicht “Leiterplattenansicht” ist das letzte Symbol in der rechten oberen Reihe Loch. Ziehen Sie dieses Symbol in die Leiterplattenansicht, und Sie können die Größe der Bohrung im Inspektorfenster unten rechts anpassen, um die gewünschte Größe festzulegen.

Peter, here are my measurements:
the board is 28.2 x 51.8 mm
the holesize is 2.8mm, the padding to the boarder is 0.8 and 0.8 mm
the distance between top and bottom of the holes is 43.9 (indicated wrong on my painting)
the pins on the top start at 6.7mm
the pins on the end start at 10.3mm
if you need more information, please let me know.
Good job! I’ve updated both breadboard and PCB views to reflect the new measurements (which are internally consistent which is a good sign ), if you could print the PCB svg at life size and compare the output to the real board to make sure the mounting holes and the header connectors in the pcb view match an actual board we should have a part that is ready to be submitted to core. I replaced the board one post back with the updated one so we don’t have multiple copies of the same board floating around. If it isn’t quite right, you can move the mounting holes and/or connectors in Inkscape (you probably have to ungroup the pcb svg to avoid translates though) until they match exactly, then I’ll update the pcb svg to match if needed.

Would love to get a Teensy 3.2 part in Fritzing. There currently isn’t one. 
There doesn’t appear to be a pin out difference between the teensy 3.1 and 3.2 so other than the name in breadboard (which doesn’t really seem to need a new part) I can’t see a reason to not use the teensy 3.1 part. Is there one I’m not seeing? If you wanted a 3.5 or 3.6 that would be different (but there appears to be one in parts submit anyway).
Peter
Hi there,
Is it possible to replace custom graphic for Copper Fill Layers(top and bottom) inside Fritzing? If not, any other methods allow user to do this?
I’ve made a custom shape board layout and the Copper Fill function is not too match to the board outline, thinking to import SVG(or other formats) instead of using the default Copper Fill function in Fritzing.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all
I am new to Fritzing, and while laying out my board something happened
The 90 degree edges became rounded, and I have no idea how to get them back to
‘normal’.
Any advice? See picture below.
Thanks,
Nicholas
Peter, I checked the updated version and the pcb printout looks ok when I compare it to the real part. There are two things I would like to bring up:
a) the “false fixing holes” should not be filled to make it very clear that these are not holes which get drilled but only marks printed on the silkscreen. Please use empty circles instead, I recommend even a dotted line.
b) please delete the pin-numbering 1/15/16/30 on the silkscreen. There is no fitting numbering on the board, and I see no need to number pins on the PCB in that way. I have 3 different boards with the same pin out from different sellers, none of them are numbered 1-30. So I recommend that you leave away that 1/15/16/30 on the silkscreen also. You might mark pin 1 with a dot, like it is done with some IC, but for me the symbolic USB socket and the asymmetrical pin-distance is enough to get the module right on the board. If you still insist on a labeling, please use pin 16 labeled as EN (enable/reset), as this is - at least for me - the most significant pin at the beginning of one side and one pin is clear enough to do the right alignment of the module
