So I was correct; the silkscreen should now be black lines on white background?
The sparkfun part came via illustrator, so double junk really. The fact that they are in the correct position for terminal nodes and marked with the correct ids (connector1terminal) surely would suggest they were added for use in Fritzing though? or does EAGLE use a similar means?
The Arduino sits on stand-offs above the perfboard. The Arduino pins fixing holes are aligned to 0.05 - some fixing points therefore have to be drilled exactly mid between holes or between tracks on perf board, but that's bearable. The pain was that the pins on both ICSPs were completely off, as were the USB and power connector. This might explain why there was no 'with icsp' variant of the part, which I needed for mating with the shields I am making parts for. The power and USB and overall footprint have to be accurate because space on the perf board is limited - I need to know everything will fit.
I corrected by going back to the original .brd, converting and exporting / importing just the key holes via DXF. Once I've finished the schematic view I'll buzz the results up here.
