This information assumes you have working knowledge of the Schematic and PCB Editor environments and are familiar with placing and editing components. Schematic Libraries, Models and Integrated Libraries. Schematic component symbols are created in schematic libraries. Sch. Lib. The components in these libraries then reference footprints and other models defined in separate footprint libraries and model files. As a designer, you can place components from these discrete component libraries or you can compile the symbol libraries, footprint libraries and model files into integrated libraries Int. Lib. The advantages of Integrated libraries are that they are portable everything is in one file and the components and models in them cannot be edited. The bulk of Altium Designer components around 7.

You can extract the source libraries out of an integrated library, to do this open the integrated library and choose Extract Sources to extract the source libraries, which will then be opened for editing. For more information, refer to Working with Integrated Libraries. You can also create a schematic library of all the components that have been placed in the schematic documents of the active project by clicking DesignMake Schematic Library. Creating Schematic Components. The Schematic Library Editor is used to create and modify schematic components, and manage component libraries. It is similar to the Schematic Editor and shares the same graphical design objects, with the addition of the Pin tool. Components are created with the design objects in the Schematic Library Editor. Components can be copied and pasted from one schematic library to another or from the schematic editor to the schematic library editor. Creating a New Library Package and Schematic Library. Before we start creating components, we need a new schematic library to store them in. This library could be created as a stand alone library, referencing models in separate files. An alternate approach is to create the new schematic library with the intention of compiling it and the referenced models into an integrated library package. This means that before we create the library we need to create a new library package. A library package Lib. Pkg is the basis of an integrated library it binds together the separate schematic libraries, footprint libraries and model files that are ultimately compiled into the single integrated library file. The new library, open at the default Component1. To create a new integrated library package and an empty schematic library, complete the following steps Select File New Project to open the New Project dialog. In the Project Types region, select Integrated Library then click OK. A new library package named IntegratedLibrary. Lib. Pkg is created and displayed in the Projects panel. Right click on the library package name in the Projects panel and select Save Project As. Browse to a suitable location, type in the desired filename then click Save. Note that the extension will be added automatically if you do not type it in. To add an empty schematic library select FileNewLibrarySchematic Library. A new library named Schlib. Sch. Lib is created. Click FileSave As and save the library as Schematic Components. Sch. Lib. If the Sch Library panel does not automatically open, click SCH SCH Library near the bottom right of the workspace. Creating a New Schematic Component. To create a new schematic component in an existing library, you would normally select ToolsNew Component. However, since a new library always contains one empty component sheet, we will simply rename Component1 to get started on creating our first component, an NPN transistor. Select Component1 from the Components list in the SCH Library panel and select ToolsRename Component. Type the new component name that uniquely identifies it for example, NPN in the Rename. Component dialog then click OK. If necessary, relocate the origin of the sheet to the center of the design window by selecting EditJumpOrigin shortcut J, O. Check the Status line at the bottom left of the screen to confirm that you have the cursor at the origin. Components supplied by Altium are created around this point, marked with a cross hair through the center of the sheet. You should always create your components close to this origin. When you place a component on the schematic, the component will be held by the electrical hot spot pin end that is nearest this origin. The units, snap, and visible grids can be set in the Schematic Library Options dialog ToolsDocument Options, shortcut T, D. You can enable the Always Show CommentDesignator option in the Schematic Library Options dialog to display the CommentDesignator strings for the current component in your library document. Rather than opening the Schematic Library Options dialog whenever you need to change the grid, simply press G on the keyboard to quickly cycle through and set the Snap Grid to 1, 5, or 1. Set the units and other sheet properties in the Schematic Library Options dialog. These settings also can be configured in the Schematic Grids page of the Preferences dialog. Set the options in the Library Editor Options tab as shown in the above image. Open the Units tab and check the Use Imperial Units System option and ensure the Imperial unit used drop down is set to Dxp Defaults. The Units tab of the Schematic Library Options dialog. Click OK to close the dialog. If the schematic library editor grid is not visible when the dialog is closed, press Page Up to zoom in until it is visible. Note that zooming occurs around the cursor, so keep the cursor close to the origin as you zoom in. To create the NPN transistor, we need to define the component body. Select PlaceLine shortcut P, L or click the Place Line toolbar button located in the Utilities toolbar drop down. The Place Line toolbar button. Using the following image and the grid lines as guides, place the vertical line. Click once to place the first end of the line then move the mouse to the location of the other end and click to place it, then right click or press Esc to end placement of this line. Note that you are still in line placement mode, as indicated by the cross hair on the cursor. Placed NPN body. For this transistor, the additional two lines are placed an an angle the arrowhead will be placed in Step 6. Press ShiftSpacebar while you are placing a line to cycle through the different placement modes and find the angle mode which allows you to place the lines correctly. D Content. Central.
