Export to Eagle: Package not found

I love Fritzing, it's fantastic! I'm Using Leopard 10.5.2+Fritzing-0004+Eagle 4.92.2 I made a diode using your tutorial, it works well. However when I export to Eagle, it says: Package not found: DIODE@/Applications/Fritzing/eagle/lbr/fritzing.lbr And then: Unknown element D in signal N$2 Unknown element D in signal N$5 In the XML for the diode I set the follow node: What am I doing wrong? I've attached my project files for further reference. Also, I'm trying to make a part for a Rechargeable 9V Battery and 12V DC Motor (you will notice they are currently missing from my schematic). How would I go about arranging the XML for such parts? Keep up the great work, this is an amazing application and has infinite potential for new media! Best regards, Peter

It looks the XML was not parsed, I'm going to paste it here again:

[footprints] [footprint default="true" source="fritzing.lbr/Diode" type="eagle" ] [/footprints]

Hi Peter,

thanks for trying out Fritzing and creating custom parts! The reason you got stuck on exporting to Eagle is comprehensible, since we left you in the void there. Oops, sorry. The last chapter of the tutorial on making a diode, which will include how to make a footprint is actually not ready yet.

Just defining source="fritzing.lbr/Diode" in the xml file is not enough to make it work. This would mean you'll also need the actual Diode footprint description in the fritzing.lbr file.

So two quick solutions to solve this:

1. Make your own diode footprint in Eagle (I have to confess, I wouldn't know myself how to do this, but I've seen it done and link to this new footprint in the xml

2. Or just use a footprint which is already present in the fritzing.lbr file. The resistor footprint might be a good candidate, since it has a comparable size and shape and also 2 through-hole connections.

HTH
