The library's schematic symbols and PCB footprints are hosted on GitHub allowing you to quickly clone the latest library files to your computer if they are needed for the new components.Ī database library creates the linkage between a schematic symbol and PCB footprint on your computer, and also provides all of the technical parameters and pricing data for a component. The Celestial Altium Library database is cloud-hosted as new components are added to the library, they are immediately available in Altium. The Celestial Altium Library contains a vast array of components already, and is under active development to expand component coverage. When updating components from libraries/workspace, setting on how parameter attributes should or should not be updated need to be cared.The Celestial Altium Library was designed from conception to contain high-quality data, with accurate footprints and exceptional 3D models.

!controlling-parameter-visibility-when-placing-components Similarly, for those on managed components, its visibility is controlled on a respective component folder basis in Explorer panel, in Edit Folder dialog accessed by right-click, Properties.: If instead parameters are defined externally in dblib, its visibility is controlled by ' Visible On Add' column. If some custom concatenation or truncation required, a text string object can be placed manually as a part of schematic symbol in a form of special string. Inclusive of other user-defined parameters on unmanaged components of schlib, visibility/color/font/location can be controlled in SCHLIB List panel, with panel display scope in blue text at the top set to ' Edit all objects from all components include only Parameters'. It is worth noting that for system-defined Comment and Designator parameters, 'Override Library Primitive' option in Preferences, Schematic » Defaults, under Primitive List section, can overule the corresponding setting you have in your library for each component. The component designator and comment are now displayed and their location/font can be changed. Enable the Show Comment/Designator option. The Library Options are now displayed in the Properties panel. Open the Schematic Library document ( *.SchLib), and go to Tools ► Document Options. Configure location/font/size/color/visibility of comment, designator, as well as other parameters Starting in Version: 18.0
