On loading a sketch file, ignore the stored connection location

• instead, use the semantic knowledge about the connection of parts to snap them into place. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Modify a part's breadboard graphic so that it's connector locations are moved, e.g. shorten the legs of the LED.
• Load a previously stored sketch, e.g. the Blink example What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The part seems to be disconnected, but they aren't. Once you move e.g. the breadboard that the LED is connected to, it automatically snaps back.

This makes the modifcation of part graphics a big usability problem!

So if we ignored the physical location of connected connectors and just let them snap into place, we could alter the graphics at any time.

Outdated. Use the obsoletion mechanism: The part should marked with replacedby pointing to the modified part.
