Tutorial explaining how to make a custom Fritzing part with error work around from Illustrator.

I finally found where Fritzing has a illustrator conversion. Here is the link to the article.

Here is the important section.
Illustrator Users, please note. If you use Illustrator to make your custom board svg, and you notice that the board size is not correct in Fritzing, this is because Illustrator uses non-SVG-standard units for pixels. In Illustrator-world, there are 72 pixels per inch, but the rest of the svg universe uses 90 per inch. Fritzing usually catches this, but if it doesn't, try the following: open up the svg in an text or xml editor and find the width and height attributes in the top level (svg) element, which will have units of "px". Divide the value of the width and height attributes by 72, and replace the current attributes with that new number followed by "in". For example, if you see width="100px" replace it with width="1.3889in".

When saving the SVG in Adobe Illustrator, click More Options in the save dialog box and untick Responsive. Then you won't have to edit the file in notepad.

You don't have to "N"orth ring pads, centre is fine. Yes the pins need to be in the overall SCH drawing, and it won't throw it off grid if the whole thing was made on a 0.100" grid, ie, the 0,0 of the selection box with still be on the grid snap point.

Hi Donnie,
great tuturial
could you kindly share the Moteino Frizing files that you created in the Tutoria?

i'm making a pcb and i can't get the copper1 group inside the copper0, also my fritzing is saying that he can't deal with a seperate copper1 layer and a seperate copper0 layer

[@danfaltenberg4194]

What is under the other copper layers? it has 4 of them.

[@dplumly]

+Dan Faltenberg Under the copper layers in the illustrator file are the labels on the board, the chips on the board, and the last is the red silkscreen.

[@danfaltenberg4194]

+Donnie Plumly Thank for responding quickly! I'm running into some weird problems. I followed your video and I think I made all my graphics correctly.
But when I import into Fritzing, the Schematic view enlarges all the labels so that everything overlaps. The PCB view is just a black box, but you can select where the copper pads would be so I can still assign graphics. The breadboard view is the only one that is imported just fine.
When I import the SVG files to the icon tab, they all come in the way they are supposed to. I'm not sure what is going on... any suggestions?
I can email pictures and am willing to try a screen share if it will help you understand. It's just a big project and this is the most comprehensive tutorial I could find so I'd really appreciate any help

[@dplumly]

+Dan Faltenberg I would have to take a look at the file to see if I could understand. The files I used to make this work are on Github (github.com/dplumly/Fritzing-Parts) I just changed the link above so that includes the parts that I have made as well as the parts for the tutorial. If you go into the motieno project and look at the illustrator files you can see exactly how I got it to work. I can take a look at the files if need be, but take a look in those files and let me know if you got it figured out.

[@danfaltenberg4194]

+Donnie Plumly You've been a fantastic help so far! Seriously. I've done it all thanks to you!
But, I noticed one last issue. The total sizes of the breadboards, PCBs, and Schematics that I specified when making my SVG didn't come through. Instead, they are all the same size. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the height and width percentages but I can't get the image to show up if I do anything other than percentages.
Is there a way to specify dimensions of the parts so they are different sizes?

[@dplumly]

+Dan Faltenberg I have been playing around with this and I have been trying just mm instead of percentages. I did get the image mapped, but I will need to spend more time with it next week to try to hammer out the details. Give the mm a try and see what happens.
