Yes! Thank you, that looks to be what I want, now all I have to do is figure out how you did it . Parts editor doesn't seem to be complaining about unconnected pins and the appropriate pads have re appeared. As well the fonts have been eaten as happens to me (and thus it isn't only me that it happens to). Check the breadboard view or schematic view of your file. The font size has reduced from what I think is the standard size to something unreadable which is what happens to me if I use the parts editor on the part more than once. On the first edit the fonts remain the correct size on the second edit they reduce like this. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong with the fonts in Inkscape somehow (I have the fritzing fonts from templates loaded on this machine and Inkscape seems semi happy with them and seems to leave them in the XML)?
