Component Templates and the Manufacturer Part Search Panel

Created: May 7, 2025
Updated: June 18, 2025

This video demonstrates using component templates to bring components into a managed library in Altium 365 via the Manufacturer Part Search Panel.  It also discusses how to set and alter the specifications a component and component template store in the Manufacturer Part Search Panel and Workspace.

Agenda

Component Templates - Predefine specific requirements for parts in the library resources for future use in schematics. View multiple templates to explore their properties and set the required specifications.

Manufacturer Part Search Panel - Search for and acquire a component in the Workspace. View and change the specifications that the component updates into the component template.
