4:23 BOM Portal Supplier Data Export 4 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers Altium 365 Bom Portal allows you to upload or create a Bill of Materials for an existing managed design. It can also export an Excel BOM that contains the data from multiple suppliers, including prices. To begin, create a BOM document, and display some favored suppliers for a part. Next, open Excel and create a BOM template using the demonstrated special column queries, before saving and uploading the file into the BOM Portal in Altium Designer. Finally, refresh the page and download the file to view the prices easily for the chosen suppliers and data. Read Article
1:14 Configure Visibility of Parameters on Components 2 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers This video demonstrates how to enable parameters when placing a component. The first step is to open the Explorer Panel, and within components, open the capacitors folder and right click for properties. Configure the parameters "Visible on Add" by selecting enable for the "PackageCase" parameter and click okay. Refresh the screen and choose a component within the capacitors folder and place it. Now the case size is visible for that capacitor and the Properties Panel also displays this value. Read Article
4:30 Update Components to the Latest Revision 6 min Videos PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Electrical Engineers +1 PCB Design Engineers PCB Design Engineers Project Leads Project Leads Electrical Engineers Electrical Engineers Engineering Managers Engineering Managers This video demonstrates the process to update components to the latest revision. This may be necessary if a component is placed before updates need to be made in the Altium 365 Library. However, Altium 365 can help users identify any changes to components and update them. Within the Properties Panel in Altium Designer, the revision status identifies if a component is using the latest revision available. If this is not the case, users can click the refresh button to update to the latest revision. Likewise, there are also two methods to update multiple components at once. The first method is to select all of the components and right click and choose update to the latest revision in the Item Manager. Then one can open the ECO, modify any necessary components, and execute these changes. Furthermore, components can also be updated in the BOM Dock in the Active BOM. This pulls in information tied to each component, but the revision status is disabled by default. By right clicking in the column header, choosing select columns, and selecting the revision status “eye” icon, this enables the revision visibility. Users can then right click and update components to the latest revision in operations, and ensure that their part components are up to date. Read Article
