Direct Placement - Beyond Mere LinkingĪltium Designer provides three methods of linking from a component to a database - using either a Database Link file ( *.DbLink), a Database Library file ( *.DbLib), or an SVN Database Library file ( *.SVNDbLib) respectively. Stored in a connected Workspace, Workspace library components offer lifecycle management, revision management, and real-time integration into the supply chain. If you are using Database Libraries because you need to have well managed components, you might like to explore Altium's Workspace Library components. Managed Components that are Connected to the Supply Chain Note that certain connection errors, such as incorrect syntax in the Provider details of the Connection String, can result in the wrong database engine being called and the error dialog shown above appearing, after installing the 64-bit database engine.
If you attempt to connect via the 32-bit Microsoft Access database engine, the following error message will appear. For detailed information about how to do this, follow the instructions in the Using Database Libraries with 32-bit and 64-bit Altium Design Software on the same Computer article. If you use Microsoft Access or Excel to manage the backend data and have a 32-bit version of Office installed, it is possible to install the 64-bit Microsoft Access database engine as well. To link from design components to a database in a 64-bit version of Altium software, the backend database engine must also be 64-bit. With the release of Altium Designer version 18.0 and Altium NEXUS version 1.0, the design software became 64-bit. Parametric information from the database can also be included in the final Bill of Materials (BOM), ready for component procurement. Full component updates - including the graphical symbol, model references, and parameters, can be performed using the Tools » Update From Libraries command. Placement is carried out from the Components panel which, after installing the database library, acts as a browser into your database.Īfter placement, design parameter information can be synchronized between placed components and their corresponding linked records in the database, using the Tools » Update Parameters From Database command.
