ALTIUM DESIGNER 20 PROJECT PARAMETER UPDATE
Click the Update Changes List button to update the Proposed Change List so that all designator changes can be reviewed prior to being applied. Example of packaged components when the Strictly option is checked.Ī high degree of control is provided over which schematic sheets and components will be affected by annotation and the specifics of how those changes will be calculated. Consequently, while the Strictly option provides extremely fine control over the packing process, most situations will call for it to be unchecked. In this case, the OR gates will be packed but the resistors will be left unpacked. If the same design is annotated but the Strictly option is checked, only those components that have the QuadOrGate parameter will be packed. Example of packaged components when the Strictly option is unchecked. In this case, the resistors are packaged together since their common attribute is that they do not contain the QuadOrGate parameter. Enabling the checkbox for QuadOrGate in the Component Parameter control will ensure that this parameter is used to control how components are packaged in this case, the Strictly check box is not enabled.Īny remaining components that do not have the QuadOrGate parameter will be packaged together. Consider a design with eight OR Gates and eight resistors as shown in the image below. If the Strictly checkbox is enabled for a Component Parameter, all components must have that parameter matched into a package.Ĭomponents that do not have this parameter are annotated as individual components and are not packaged. The default settings in the Annotate dialog are to complete existing packages by Library Reference and Comment, however, you can select any combination of parameters. If multi-part components share the same enabled parameters and a common value, then they will be packaged together assuming the Complete Existing Packages option is not set to None. The Component Parameter list includes all parameters found within components in the current design. In order for multi-part packing to be included as part of the annotation process, the Complete Existing Packages drop-down must be set to something other than None.įor non-homogeneous multi-part components, ensure the Locked icons are closed in the Properties panel to prevent sub-part changes during annotation. Primary considerations for annotating multi-part components are how those components will be matched and grouped together and the criteria used to determine valid groupings. When using multi-part packages, it is often desirable to pack as many parts into the minimum number of physical parts since this minimizes the overall BOM cost of the design.
