top-down view option for breadboard and pcb views?

What if we added a top-down svg image for certain parts, then allowed the user to switch between 3/4 and top-down views? The mechanism could be either a preference setting, and/or a holding-down-a-key temporary view switch (returning to the original view when the key was released).

also interesting for pcb view

Top down view gets complicated when parts have stretched legs.

we have around 100-breadboard-svgs that are now in a 2,5D perspective and fitting in the grid of a breadboard. some of them are double.

if we want 2d view, we have to draw them or generate them from their footprints.

would be nice to have the actual list

the wish for an suitable 2d/top-view with pure 2d components came up again. it'll be nice to think about the possibilities.

i do not understand the reason for a 2d-pcb view because it is allready 2d.

from my point of view the 2d-view could be just one layer in the breadboard svg (like: id="bb2d"). The activation happens with a menu-checkbox in the view section or just be another layer in the layermenu. if a part is allready 2d (e.g. arduino boards and others) the normal graphic gets used.

the 2d variant could be simply drawn for the handmade parts. the gernerated parts are mostly 2d allready. http://fritzing.org/forum/thread/3921/?page=last#post11066

This definitely needs some work. 2.5D is terrible, and since there's no way to hide the body of a tall part it is basically impossible to get any kind of reasonable packing. It's a little insane to be forced to redraw all the parts before you can use them.
