Hi Roger,

The parser doesn't like lines 44-47 because of the characters ".50mm".
 Change all occurrences of that to "0.50mm" and it loads fine.
You may want to log a bug report that our parser doesn't correctly
parse numbers starting with a decimal point.

BTW, I notice that you leave the "name" field blank.   I find it quite
helpful to name the pins.  In PCB you can press the "d" key to view
the pin numbers of an element and then use "View->[ ]Enable pinout
shows number" menu toggle to change views between numbers and names -
very helpful at times.  As an example, here's a part I recently made:

Element["" "DCJACK" "CN1" "CUI-PJ-047BH" 0mm 0mm 0mm -6mm 0 100 ""]
(
	Pin[+2.9mm -3.7mm 2.9mm 2000 3.1mm 2.5mm "Shd" "0" ""]
	Pin[+2.9mm +3.7mm 2.9mm 2000 3.1mm 2.5mm "Shd" "0" ""]

	Pin[+4mm 0mm 0 2000 0 2.4mm "" "Mnt" "hole"]

	Pin[+10.3mm -3.3mm 2.6mm 2000 2.8mm 2.2mm "Sw" "3" ""]
	Pin[+10.3mm +3.3mm 2.6mm 2000 2.8mm 2.2mm "Pin" "1" ""]
	Pin[+8.1mm 0mm 2.6mm 2000 2.8mm 2.2mm "Slv" "2" ""]

	ElementLine [0 -3.7mm 0 +3.7mm 1000]
)

I also find the string based flags much easier to use than the
hexadecimal (eg "hole" instead of 0x00000xyz, where x y and z are
digits I can't remember)
