How To - Using File-Based Libraries in the New Components Panel

Conditional Statements The main conditional statements supported by VBScript are: If...Then For Next Loop Exit For For Each Next Do Loop While...WEnd Select Case Care needs to be taken to code scripts that avoid infinite loops — that is, ensuring that the conditions will eventually be met. The If...Then Statement The syntax is: If Condition Then 'code Else If AnotherCondition Then 'code Else …

The Company Dashboard Authentication page allows Company Account Administrators to configure and enable Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities for your Company Account and includes support for SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) user and group provisioning, which automates the exchange of identity data between your company and its Identity Provider (IdP). This backend configuration…

An Altium Designer project can include many and varied files - source files, libraries, reports, data sheets, manufacturing files, etc. The Project Packager simplifies the task of managing this large fileset. Guided by the settings you define over its pages, the wizard gathers and packages the project into a portable ZIP file. The interface to the Project Packager - the Project Packager Wizard…

Requirements Portal is an advanced engineering management tool used to ensure specification and performance compliance during system design development. When enabled for your Altium 365 Workspace, Requirements Portal integrates with your PCB design projects through the exchange of design data and formalized Requirements instances. The system requirements, as created in Requirements Portal, can be…

Parent page: Preparing Your Design for Manufacture Ultimately, each PCB design should be sent to the manufacturing floor for being fabricated and assembled. That can be difficult due to ineffective communication methods between the design and manufacturing teams, incompatible tools and data formats, non-transparent requirements of the manufacturing to the layer stack and design constraints and…

The Object Visibility region of the View Configuration panel can be used to set the transparency of each PCB object. Use the Transparency slide bar to set the percentage or enter the desired percentage directly in the percentage field. Altium Designer also provides support for setting the transparency of each object type individually and on a per-layer basis for each layer that can be used in…

Altium Designer is probably just one of many engineering design environments that you work with, or need to interface to. Perhaps you need to interface to another design and analysis platform to perform a power simulation, or perhaps you need to import an older design that was developed in another design environment. Whatever the reason, it's likely that one day you'll need to be able to…

What do SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector end-of-life mean? Starting August 15, 2023, SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector will no longer receive updates or support. Will SOLIDWORKS PCB or SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector still be supported? SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS PCB Connector will be supported through August 14, 2023. Will I need to export all the files from the solutions before…

Altium Designer combines a myriad of features and functionality, including: Advanced routing technology Support for cutting-edge rigid-flex board design Powerful data management tools ECAD Libraries containing over 300,000 ready-to-use components Powerful design reuse tools Real-time cost estimation and tracking Dynamic supply chain intelligence Native 3D visualizations and clearance checking…

Due to the complexity of modern electronic products featuring high-speed and RF circuits, intensive communication between PCB and simulation engineers is required during the PCB design process, and this communication should be as clear and simple for both sides as possible. It is not sufficient to export a design changed by the PCB engineer or optimized by the simulation engineer and pass it to…
