2mm header PCB footprint?
Never noticed you could change pad in Insp - learn something new -, i would have just snapped the sized via on the header and removed the header. I just drilled some 0.8mm holes for a header and I had...

The major problem you will have is not knowing that the parts are 100% connected. It might look like it, but you have to be sure. Pins on parts turn green when connected, and if you click on a pin all...

Don't know if it was covered because i didn't read the whole post, but you select the jumper and grab the end and drag the length and position you want.

Doesn't work for me on the jumper in pcb, it stays the same length. Are you thinking of breadboard perhaps or am I missing something? Peter

Worked for me. You have to click on it when it displays the rotate mouse cursor.

Looks like I'm missing something. How do I get a rotate mouse cursor? Nothing I try is stretching it (which is what the OP is looking for too). Peter
View ArticleQuestion about jumpers
If you drag a single jumper wire (blue jumper wire) out from core parts bin onto the PCB view then move you mouse to one of its corners (if it was a rectangle) you should see the mouse icon change to...

Finally got it, thanks! I think my problem was that I didn't click on the part to select it, and without that the rotate cursor doesn't appear. Once I left clicked on the jumper to select it and moved...

Yay, you got it. The rotate arrows in the corners can rotate any part at any angle.
View ArticleQuestion about jumpers
Thank you all for the clear and valid replies - The answer to using jumpers does lie in the ability to anchor one starting point ... then using the cursor to find the "rotate" corner and click and...

Question about jumpers
jbund65: Do you all think I still need single header pads at each end of the jumper, or does the jumper create a hole and pad at the end of the trace to which it is attached? The jumper creates its...

SVG circles don't match Fritzing Circles
I can't figure out why Fritzing is changing the circles on my pcb svg. In all other svgs the circle pads are correct. SVG: image.png802x492 34 KB How can I make the PCB circles show up correctly?

SVG circles don't match Fritzing Circles
The likely answer is that you have a translate in the svg and Fritzing is misinterpreting it. I'd suggest uploading the svg (if it won't upload as an svg which sometimes happens, rename it from .svg...

SVG circles don't match Fritzing Circles
I saw the translates (which were caused be my resizing a very similar part to create this one) and removed them. I will upload the files. SVG, image is hard to see -->

SVG circles don't match Fritzing Circles
Ah, I was incorrect. Your problem is likely you are using paths for the pads. Fritzing uses the circle diameter and stroke-width in a python script to generate the gerber output, while I've seen a...

SVG circles don't match Fritzing Circles
I will try that, but it doesn't explain why the breadboard image, which I copy pasted these elements from, works as expected. image.png712x483 22.3 KB I guess I will just start over completely. So...

zerox21: I guess I will just start over completely. So much for saving time by modifying an existing part. That works to a point (I do it lots), but unfortunatly parts quality varies so you need to be...

After you have finished you open the gerbers with Gerbv - free gerb viewer - and you can actually see what the PCB house will see. You can even measure stuff inside it.
