Meaning, no trace is actually placed on your design. My understanding of Fritzing's tutorial and Simon Monk's instructions in his fritzing book is that you can right-click on either the trace or rat's nest line and there should be an option to turn that selection into a blue Jumper wire. I want to turn some of my orange and yellow traces into these blue wires. These are shown as blue connections while traces are shown as orange ones.' Much appreciated.Īccording to Fritzing's instructions, 'Jumpers are connections that need to be soldered with external wires.

If they don't work, then you probably have something else going on like not properly labeled or misspelled, Check the ID labels between your. The reason I make them bigger, like 0.01' or 0.005' is that I add a fill color (like red) so that I can keep track of them and know where they are at until I get them in place, then remove the fill. does not make any difference as they have no color. I center the rectangle on the end of the connector#pin and make them no wider then the connector#pin, about 0.01' max.

Your wire will always connect to the center of the rectangle/line. Rectangles seam to be the norm and they are easier to locate in a graphics editor. The connector#terminals can be any size and don't even have to be rectangles, they can be lines. Sometimes when the connector#terminals are 0,0 they may work but can get lost when importing into a graphics editor. Basically the wire would snap to the pin mid-point instead of the terminal. I tried setting both the width and height of the rectangle to 0 and got told off by somebody on the forums, yet I found recently when working with a customized version of one of the op amp parts, I could not get the terminals to work properly unless they were zero size.

I don't think playing with the size and position of the connector#pin and connector#terminal shapes will give the desired effect, but I will have a play at some one question I have been wrestling with is the correct size of connector#terminals in schematic view. With the Camden Boss terminals I think it should be relatively easy, as I have two connector to play with, but I am not so sure about the standard male and female headers. I am not sure how this can best be implemented in Fz. I have the free version of Eagle installed and basically, have found that the symbol should indeed have box round it and that PCB / breadboard side connects to the tail end of the straight line 'stalk' whilst the male connector or inserted wire should connect side of the circular ring opposite the stalk. After 6 months I finally answered the mystery of how terminal connectors and header connectors should look in schematic view when they are fully connected.
