Hi there!
I am new to Fritzing and looking for a LED SMD part with Package 1311.
It is similar to this LED: https://www.mouser.dk/ProductDetail/645-598-8621-207F
Is it possible to find this somewhere?
Thank you.

Hi guys
Is it possible to use a white text instead of the usual black, which seems to be
the only one I can choose - with only one font.
Thanks!

There doesn’t appear to be one yet. It is reasonably simple to make one (for me, anyway perhaps less so for you). However the footprint size isn’t obvious from the datasheet, there is a “free” converter program with a footprint but it wants me to register to use it (and doesn’t have fritzing as an option anyway). I can make a part from the diagram in the data sheet (although it isn’t clear that it is the recommended footprint) if you like. You would need to make a test board to verify the footprint works in practice though.

The silkscreen color you get is dependent on the board manufacturer and what options are available when you order your boards. I use Elecrow for my boards and silkscreen color is either black or white depending on the solder resist color you choose.
If it is the part silkscreen you are talking about then you need to learn part creation and you can set the color in the svg file. For other texts you need to convert the text to a path in Inkscape before saving the SVG.
Why? I usually find this annoying because I have to convert it back to text to change it. Is there a reason (other than using non standard fonts) to do this that I don’t know?

Hi Peter,
Well it would be the 598-8621-207F LED, with the 1210 footprint as in the picture.
Is that enough information? It would be wonderful if you would make it since i have no experience with the editor.
I can certainly make a foot print from that (it is what I was looking at). It is unclear however whether that is the part outline (I think it may be) or the footprint. Compare it to the 595 series led further up the document. I think this is the left hand picture of the actual part, and we are missing the right hand pad layout (but can infer something that should work from what we have). I’m also unclear on what the black dot signifies so I’ll mark pin 1 on the silk screen . Fritzing parts making has a fairly large learning curve so unless you need a lot of parts, it is likely to be easier to get one of us to make a part for you.

Because as soon as you import the svg into the parts editor it replaces the text with OCRA or whatever it uses. So the only way to avoid it changing the font on you is to make it a graphic.
According to the Mouser page it is 0.13 inches by 0.11 hence the name. It also shows the metric size of 3227 which means it is 3.2mm x 2.7mm so it is not the same size as a 1210 which is 0.12" x .1"
I use Elecrow as well, thanks! I am happy to hear that I can choose white upon ordering!
Thanks!
OK this part should do the trick I think. I made the pads a slight bit wider than that specified in the drawing to give you a little more room for alignment. As I said try this on a small quantity of boards to verify the footprint as it may not be right. Breadboard is present, but not the correct size. I left it mostly as the led I cloned this part from. The pins are correct but the size and spacing are too large. It is unlikely anyone would use this on breadboard anyway so it shouldn’t matter.

Hi Peter,
That sounds perfect! I’ll have a look at it when i get home!
Thank you. It’s kind of you
I find many crystal/resonators shown in the parts bin, but I cannot find a footprint/part for a 3.2 x 1.3mm resonator such as used on Arduino nano boards. The part number is Murata CSTNE16M0V530000B0 for the 16MHz resonator. I’m just a beginner and I’m just starting to become familiar with the parts creator.
Does anyone know if such a pcb footprint/part has been created for this device in Fritzing?
In the core parts bin search for resonator drag the three terminal one in to pcb view (or any other view) then in inspector (the lower right window) in the package pulldown select resonator-smd. That appears to be the correct foot print for the referenced part. Many parts are generic in nature so you probably won’t find an exact part number unless the part is fairly unique. You need to find a part that has the appropriate footprint.

Hi Peter…your direction was spot on! I had missed the fact that some parts have a packaging option under the inspector window and hadn’t seen the SMD option. Now what I am having trouble with is finding the actual dimensions on the part in the “parts bin”. When looking at inspector, I cannot find the dimensions for the pads or leads (pad-to-pad spacing) and overall pad dimensions.
I grabbed the pcb svg file and used Inkscape to check and measure the footprint. I was lazy and cloned the part with parts editor and exported it as an fzpz and unzipped that to get the fzp and svg files but you can also look in the parts repo directory, but then you need to figure our what the svg filename is. I find the export method easier usually. Perhaps someone else has a different and possibly better way to do the same thing. There is still lots I don’t know about fritzing .
Peter
You can drag the part out to the PCB view and then use the ruler from the core parts bin to measure the pads right in Fritzing
I know, I know, fritzing has its own way of manufacturing, and doing it would be the right thing to do, however 100 Euros for me is very over price. So I tried cheaper ways to make my PCBs, maybe in Chinese factories, which I can get 10 for $15, the problem is that I can not export in a way that works in any company, they do not accept the fritzing RS-274X formats, any idea how I can solve this? I like fritzing, and if possible, i dont want to use other program to remake the PCB design.
While I don’t usually make boards, I understand most of the cheap sources can take Fritzing gerber files. Certainly these folks can:

I just put some FZ gerbers in JLCPCB online quote, and they seam to work.
