Library Migration: Onboarding Guide

The Workspace gives you convenient access for browsing all of the managed components that are currently stored within that Workspace. Accessible through the Workspace browser interface (a constituent part of the parent Altium 365 Platform Interface) not only can you quickly see what (and how many) components you currently have at your disposal, but you can also view a summary of the health of…

Parent page: Creating a New Component Before saving a Workspace Library component defined/edited in the Component Editor (in its Single Component Editing or Batch Component Editing mode) to the connected Workspace and making the component be available for use in designs, it is essential to make sure that this component meets the requirements in accordance with the configured settings. When you…

Parent page: Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server The number of design components available to an engineer when capturing their next design can vary from a few hundred scattered across individual symbol and model libraries, through to hundreds of thousands, stored in a dedicated company parts database. But no matter how many components are available to hand, there will always be more that aren't, and…

The Enterprise Server Workspace gives you convenient access for browsing all of the Workspace library components that are currently stored within the Workspace. Accessible through the Workspace's browser interface, the Components view allows you to see what (and how many) components you currently have at your disposal, and the detailed information and data for each part. Note that the term …

Organizations that employ a dedicated parts librarian can formalize the process of adding new Library parts when needed by using the Workspace Part Requests features. Available as an advanced process-based workflow or a basic document-based arrangement, Part Requests allow users (typically engineers) to assemble and submit details of the needed part to a specified Librarian or Librarians Group…

The likely need to create new Library (Managed) components, as catered for by Altium Designer’s Component Editor, can be resolved at an informal level or by the submission of a formalized Part Request. At the basic level, a design engineer might simply create the Library components they require. At a higher level where components are created by a dedicated librarian, design engineers can request…

The following shortcut keys are specific to the Component Editor. For general information regarding shortcut keys - including access and editing, general Altium environment shortcuts, and accelerator keys - see Altium Designer Shortcut Keys. When looking at the shortcut key listings, keep in mind the following: When referring to shortcuts, use of the plus (+) symbol denotes holding multiple keys…

Through the concept of Part Choices, component parts hosted in an Altium 365 Workspace can be referenced to real-world supplier (vendor) parts, based on their specified manufacturer part. By default, this supply chain data is sourced through the Altium Parts Provider cloud service and includes real-time supplier part information such as stock levels, unit pricing and price break points. For many…

Database component libraries, which derive their component parameters from a master database, can now be synchronized with that database when the library has been migrated to an Altium 365 Workspace. With the newly introduced Components Synchronization feature, the data from a selected table within the master database is used to create a fully configured and mapped synchronization profile that…

Parent page: Creating a New Component Altium Designer, in conjunction with your connected Workspace, provides a streamlined and highly automated process to quickly import your existing libraries to that Workspace. The interface to this process – the Library Importer – presents a one-click solution that automatically analyses the selected libraries and imports them to the Workspace to which you…
