Suppression of views in New Parts Editor

[RAPTOR7762]

Problem
To me it is a bit troublesome to edit the .fzp file to suppress a view and zip the .fzp file and .svg files back into the .fzpz file

Proposed Solution
Can put checkboxes in individual views that says “suppress view”

[KjellMorgenstern]

What do you mean by "suppress view" ?

[RAPTOR7762]

So taking a breadboard for example, the part will not appear in schematic and pcb views

Linking back to the “suppress view” checkbox function, the part will not appear in that specific view (e.g. pcb view) when checked

[KjellMorgenstern]

Breadboards have a specific implementation in Fritzing. For regular parts, this is not intended.

[RAPTOR7762]

Yes but there are some parts that need pcb view to be suppressed (as they cannot be mounted on a pcb board…)

[KjellMorgenstern]

If it doesn't have an electric connection, you can simply use the "Breadboard Image" part.

If it does have an electric connection, you should choose a typical connector, even if the part is not directly mounted to the PCB. Examples:

The parts is heat sensitive, and should be not directly soldiered on. Therefore it comes with a M40-1100300 connector.
To integrate it in Fritzing (and because Fritzing doesn't yet have a "cable" feature), it has a standard 3 pin header footprint.

What do you mean by "Breadboard Image" part.

[KjellMorgenstern]

There is a core part called breadboard image.

OK! Also sorry for unclear info earlier. So like for this part here

After much difficulty, I gave up in suppressing the pcb view. With the help of @vanepp I suppressed PCB view (as you can't possibly mount it on a pcb board). So it may be easier to just have a checkbox to suppress a view

[vanepp]

He is basically asking for a parts editor option to reuse breadboard view as the pcb view renderer like this

<pcbView> <layers image="breadboard/fc-51_breadboard.svg"> <layer layerId="breadboard"/> </layers> </pcbView>

because you need a renderer in pcb (Fritzing will error if you just delete the pcbView field in the .fzp file.) This creates a part with a blank pcb view (as the breadboard view won't render in pcb) which creates the desired effect. Basically he is asking for this to be a select box in parts editor (editing the fzp file is the only current way I know to do this.)
