Hi everyone.  I am trying and having no luck in making a new component in DIY Layout creator.  I am trying to make a 3 pin circular socket for transistors for my Fuzz Face board. 

I have tried just using the current circular transistor  component.  I can move the pin spacing but I can't make the circle any bigger.  I have also tried using circular tool making the size I want and put 3 dots on it.  When I make the component that way and "save as template"  it doesn't seem to save ANYWHERE, I looked under every component. 

Does anyone have any ideas or help?

your better off asking in the DIYLC THREAD.

im sure the guys will have a solution for you..

i think 'TEMPLATES' just saves the board....i may be wrong though.

I've saved 1n34, 1n914, 1n4xxx as templates under the diode component.
Select the component, select edit menu, give it a name. done.
However, saving 3 different components as one.....
Lemme try...

Nope.
You can save shapes as templates, pads as templates, but you can't save 2 components even if they are the same type as a single template.

config > snap to grid "off". this will allow you any size circle, anywhere you want. it will drive you mad, though, at least till you set it back to "on".
