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.

1. 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
