Hello, Welcome to the Altium Learning Hub

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to roll back a previous version of a component in case of file errors or premature component modifications.  The video demonstrates the process to edit a revision on a capacitor.  The first step is to log in to the Explorer Panel on the workspace.  By navigating to the components folder and choosing a capacitor, the video reverts to the component’s eighth revision and makes this the most current component...

Summary: This video demonstrates how to keep parameters of your components in Altium 365 in sync with a local database.  The video shows the step-by-step process to do this and begins by going to extensions and updates to configure the custom data synchronization for a component.  This is done by selecting the data source, such as a DB Lib, an Access File, an Excel File, a CSV file, or a connection string from a MySQL Database and pasting the...

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to reuse managed symbols and footprints to create new components.  The video shows users the process to create, save, release and then edit a new component within the components panel.  This process begins by opening the explorer panel within a workspace and a component folder.  In this, one can see the symbols and footprints for a previously imported component within Altium 365.  The user then creates a...

Summary: This video demonstrates how to navigate to the history of a component, what changes were made, by whom, and on what date.  The process begins by opening the workspace, and then the components panel and the component type.  Within the operations of the component type, the lifecycle state, revisions, author, and notes for that revision are available to review, delete, or change to a prototype. Users are also able to view the symbol...

This workshop explores both fundamental and advanced BOM Portal capabilities, empowering you to utilize the tool to confidently manage your parts procurement.

Summary: The Altium 365 Workspace can be used to create and collaborate on your component library, and you can use the component data you store here in Altium Designer or in other apps.  Data within the workspace uses component types to categorize components. This video demonstrates how to select a part choice based on a manufacturer and part number.  It also shows users how to check the manufacturer price, stock, and part life cycle.  The...

Develop a comprehensive understanding of how to use the Assembly Assistant in Altium 365 to reduce errors, increase efficiency, and ensure consistency in your Printed Circuit Board Assembly.

Summary:  This video demonstrates how to change the lifecycle state for components used in a project. To begin, open Altium Designer and change to a classic view in the explorer. Within the list of draft components, starting with a first component that is a non component, hold the shift key to select all of the components. Move the lifecycle state of all of the components to prototype and restart Altium Designer.  Open the project in the...

Summary:  This video discusses how to add dictionaries for use in component templates.  It demonstrates the process to do so and begins by opening the dictionaries in the settings in Altium 365 and selecting new.  Next, the name of the parameter,  and the packages for the dictionaries are added.  These entries are then saved, and Altium Designer is restarted to use the new dictionary.  Once Altium Designer is restarted, the parameters for the...
