The tool also supports importing pin details from a spreadsheet via the right-click menu.īefore you start creating component symbols, it is worth spending some time configuring your preferred defaults. Install the Schematic Symbol Generation Tool extension to quickly build high-pin count components.Multiple pins can be imported from a spreadsheet into the current component via the Smart Grid commands on the right-click menu in the SCHLIB List panel.The fonts can be configured individually for each object as they are placed, or you can set your preferred fonts for new objects by editing each of the appropriate objects on the Schematic - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog.Select the Tools Document » Options command to displays the Properties panel in this mode The option used to display the designator and comment on the symbol editor sheet ( Show Comment/Designator) is enabled/disabled for the current library in the Library Options mode of the Properties panel.If you double-click on a primitive placed as part of the component symbol, the Properties panel will display the properties of that primitive rather than the parent component. The panel displays in this mode when nothing is selected. In the schematic library editor, the properties of the currently active symbol, such as the default designator and the description, are edited in the Properties panel in Symbol mode.Refer to the Pin object for more information. Make sure the hotspot (the end by which you hold the pin) is away from the component body. Use the Edit » Move commands to change the display order if the pins become hidden behind the component body. Objects placed in the library editor are stacked in the order they are placed.Schematic symbols are created in Altium Designer's schematic symbol editor. Schematic symbols are created by placing drawing objects to represent the component body and pins that represent the physical pins on the actual component. This type of component is also called a multi-part component. One component symbol can represent the entire physical component, or the component can be defined by multiple sub-parts where each sub-part represents some logical entity within the physical component (e.g., each AND gate in a quad AND gate component, or the coil and contact sets in a relay). This should be done to comply with the requirements of your organization and the design standards you choose to adopt. How a component is represented, i.e. the look of the symbol and arrangement of component pins, is up to the designer. The schematic symbol typically includes a shape that can reflect the function of the component and one or more pins.
