What Gets Imported?Īll information that is present in an original source library is imported to the Workspace components, including all referenced domain models (schematic symbols, PCB footprints, simulation models), parametric information, assigned part choices, datasheet files, etc. And while the import is a single-click process by default, the importer also offers advanced configuration options through the Properties panel for enhanced control over exactly how that import is performed. The interface is also available in an Advanced mode that provides a full preview of the proposed library import, and access to its related data and settings.

The Library Importer offers a minimalist Simple interface mode where the selected database and file-based component libraries are imported to Workspace components through a single step, while the importer automatically takes care of type classification, the target source folder, parameter inclusion and value type, and the transfer of all relevant data. 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 are actively connected.Ĭatering for all types of libraries, relating to older component management methodologies (SchLib, PcbLib, IntLib, DbLib, SVNDbLib), the Library Importer is a dedicated solution for quickly building your company's Workspace component library so you can benefit from their many advantages – high-integrity, centralized storage and management, ease of design reuse, real-time supply-chain information. Altium Designer, in conjunction with your connected Workspace, provides a streamlined and highly automated process to quickly import your existing libraries to that Workspace.
