It is suggested that the standard font size is 5pt. Stick with the Fritzing fonts to kept all Fritzing parts looking alike. If you are using Inkscape, you will still want to make sure the connectors are appropriately named. For the SparkFun T5403 Barometer Breakout example, under the copper group, each connector is named connector#pad.Д®xample in Illustrator. Naming your connectors will be a huge time saver. If you create a custom board with components that others can use, you can share them on the Fritzing site, so others can use too! Make sure to organize the component graphics nicely in the vector graphics editor you are using, so the parts are easy to find when using on future boards. If you need an SMD LED on your board that is already in Fritzing, go ahead and use it! This will save you time and keep the all the Fritzing parts having the same look and feel. It will still look nice, but less work! Use Components That Already Exist Focusing more on the important components, like ICs, might be a better way to spend your time. That way if there is a new change with the board, like a resistor value change, we don't have to go in and change that resistor in the Fritzing part. Since SparkFun is always trying to make our products better with revisions and have a lot of boards, it is easier and faster for us to not included certain details, like traces or every component, on our boards. The great thing with Fritzing is you can make your board as simple or as complex as you want. HEX: E62C2E, RGB: 230 44 46 Keep It Simple To keep with the Fritzing graphics standards, you are going to want to make the copper contacts the copper/tinned color. Here are some main color standards for Breadboard images: Here are some helpful tips! Follow the Fritzing Graphic Standards You are now able to create your custom partвЂ™s breadboard graphic. Tips for Making Your Custom Breadboard Graphic Inside that breadboard group it will have the group of parts, copper layers, silkscreen group, and the board path. For the SparkFun T5403 Barometer Breakout, there is a вЂњbreadboardвЂќ group. You can see with the example templates how you can kept the layers organized. You can also open the example SparkFun T5403 Barometer Breakout breadboard SVG template file from the SparkFun Fritzing Parts Github repo. To compare the different layers and groups, you can open up the Fritzing BreadboardViewGraphic_Template.svg file found in the Fritzing Fonts and Template folder you downloaded earlier. You can save by going to File->Save As, saving as a SVG, and hitting Save.ДЇor this example the Breadboard SVG is named: SFE_T5403_Barometer_Breakout_breadboard.svg Use Templates as References

You are going to want to save the file with a good naming convention, since you are going to end up needing 3 different svg files when creating your Fritzing part. The SparkFun T5403 Barometer Breakout size is 1' x 0.650'. The image size of the file should be the same size of your board. Open up your vector graphics editor and create a new file.
