Summary:

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.

In this video, I'll show how you can enable parameters when placing a component. First I'll go into the Explorer Panel and go to the components. I'll just choose the capacitors folder and I'm going to right click and choose the properties. Here you'll notice on the right hand side I can go ahead and configure parameters "Visibility on Add." And you'll see the whole list of parameters.

00:00:30:22 - 00:01:05:24
In order to enable any parameter in the list, I just use the checkbox and click okay. In my case, I'll use the "PackageCase" parameter. I'm going to do a quick refresh and then go ahead and choose any one of the components from within the capacitors folder, and go ahead and place it. And now you'll see that I have that package or case size for this particular capacitor.

00:01:05:26 - 00:01:13:10
And you'll see in the Properties Panel as well it views that value. Thank you for watching.

PCB design reuse

Complete Guide to PCB Component and Design Reuse in the Cloud Isaac Newton once said "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Not all designs need to be remade from scratch, and if you organize your designs properly you can easily reuse your old design data in a new project. PCB design reuse practices are great for cutting down design time and ensuring all your products live up to the same level of quality. It’s all about making sure the knowledge you’ve gained from building 阅读文章

4:13 Reuse of Managed Symbols and Footprints This video shows how managed symbols and footprints can be reused when creating new components. 观看视频

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Training This comprehensive video series will guide you through establishing seamless connections between your workspace and PLM system, creating a unified digital thread for your product development lifecycle. PLM integration transforms how your engineering team manages component data, project information, and manufacturing outputs by synchronizing critical design data between the workspace and your PLM system. This integration eliminates data silos, reduces manual data entry, and ensures your entire organization works from a single source of truth. This training series covers five essential areas that will get your PLM integration up and running effectively. After completing this training, you will have the knowledge and practical skills to implement a robust PLM integration that enhances collaboration, reduces errors, and accelerates your product development process. 阅读文章

1:36 Toggle Visibility of Layers and Objects This video demonstrates how to toggle layers of a project on and off in Altium 365 for quick visualization. 观看视频

3:20 Component Tracing This video demonstrates how to use the Altium 365 Component Library to see who created or modified a component in the web interface. It also shows users how to create a list of all components a particular user has created or modified and how to export such a list. To begin, the video uses a capacitor component type to view it's lifecycle, parameters, and models. Also shown are the revisions made to the component, it's history, and who created and revised it. This information is available in Altium Designer in the Components Panel and the Explorer Panel, where the creation data for the part is used to create a list of components by a specific user. 观看视频

1:50 Events Log This video demonstrates navigating within the events log. The events log showcases user events and data within the workspace in a single access point for data governance. To begin, navigate to the admin tab and the events log link once the Organizational Security Package is enabled. Many types of logged events are visible including additions, removals, workspace member group assignments, component and object data, and data sharing. Event log entries can be searched and filtered by object type as well. The list can be refreshed by typing F5, and an API is also available to transfer event log data to a security information and events management system. 观看视频

3:15 Admin Checklists This video demonstrates how to add a checklist to an Altium 365 Platform for use in design reviews. To begin, navigate to the admin button, and select checklists on the right hand side to see current platform checklists. Edit or delete one by selecting the three radial dots, or create a new one by selecting the new button. In the new checklist, type or paste a list of items and a name and select add. This creates a new checklist template which can be applied to a design by opening a design, creating a design review, and adding the template checklist to that design. 观看视频

4:16 Admin-Explorer Web View 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. 观看视频

4:22 Relink Design Components to Managed Components This video demonstrates how unmanaged projects can use managed components, even when a user is offline and using a local machine. In order to link this local project to an Altium 365 Workspace and integrate the resources of Altium 365 into this project, open tools and then the Item Manager. The Item Manager will scan the design and load any components within the design, showing that they are unmanaged. To relink these components located in the local library to the Altium 365 components, click auto match to match each component. If any components fail to match, users can select and navigate to the individual components and manually match them. Then, an ACL and ECO are generated, the changes are executed, and the components are updated. After this is completed, all of the components are updated to the latest revision. 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. 观看视频

7:40 Supply Chain Database to Workspace Data Synchronization The Altium 365 Component Library uses part choices to link library components to real world parts that you can purchase. Sometimes you want to add a part that is not known at the mayor supplier or is specifically made for you. When you have (live) data on this part (price/stock), then Altium 365 has a way to periodically upload this data into a customer data provider that your components and downstream systems can utilize as a data source. 观看视频
