How to resize a part in schematic view?

I feel like I must be overlooking something simple, but I can't figure out how to resize a part in a schematic view! Specifically, I am trying to vertically stretch a 2x10 header, so that there's more space between the pins. Currently, I can't read the labels on the resistors I have hanging off those header pins, because they are all bunched up on each other. Thanks for helping out a newbie!

Hi, At present, EasyEDA desn't support resize a part, we must make sure all pins on the grids. But you can create your own compoents. You can use https://easyeda.com/Doc/Tutorial/schematic.htm#NetLabel-and-Netflag to do something if you find there is not enough space.

Your project is public, so I can follow it. Maybe you can hide your value of the resitor ![enter image description here][1] [1]: /editor/20160116/56999e6ecb686.png

hi Dillon, Thank you for the quick answer. I thought about hiding the resistor value, but even then I would have to hide both the value and the label (aka "Prefix", like R1, R2), so the parts would be completely unlabeled. Here's a screenshot of the resistors between connectors, as they appear now: ![bunched up resistors][1] [1]: /editor/20160116/5699c15864401.png Perhaps I will look into making my own components, to make a connector with two grid spaces between each pin, instead of just one grid space. Could you recommend a tutorial on creating components?

Hi Drmarble, Welcome to EasyEDA. Resizing of components in the same way you can resize a text font is not something that is normally supported by many schematic capture tools (if any). For one thing as Dillon pointed out, the pins have to always be on the grid or they will not connect properly. You could create your own part from scratch or with the help of the symbol wizard (magic wand icon, top toolbar) but this is not an uncommon problem in drawing schematics and it is normally handled by good schematic layout and readability practice. Along those lines, your options are: 1) draw the schematic so that the resistors are spaced out vertically; 2) space the connectors apart horizontally so that you can then spread the resistors horizontally in an alternating or diagonal pattern; 3) place the resistors elsewhere on the schematic and connect them by netnames as Dillon suggested.
