We're Partnering With Altium!

We are happy to announce that we're partnering with Altium on an extension built on the Octopart API!

You can access the extension from within Altium Designer by going to DXP » Updates & Extensions menu. Once installed Octopart will appear under the Installed Tab. A restart of Altium Designer is required for the installation to complete.

If we had a penny for how many Octopart users we've talked to who use Altium, we'd have a lot of pennies. Many thanks to a handful of very patient beta testers from our community -- we couldn't have done it without you!

We love working with the excellent Altium team and are excited to get started working on the next thing (this is just the beginning!). So -- if you have an Altium license, please try it out and tell us what you think.

Update: Robert Feranec over at FEDEVEL Academy has made a video tutorial on how to install and use the Octopart extension. Thanks Robert!
