For anyone stuck around 33:56 you get to your library in your schlib and it should have your components listed from the created library. If not save all the files and it will update and then go back and check.

Im following Robert since 2014 he is highly motivated to teach somethings to people, I'm really appreciating. Thanks Robert.

I like how I Google to no avail for 30 minutes then com to Mr. Feranec and find the answers in 30 seconds.
Seriously, the video is bookmarked!👍🏾

I love this guy. He has greatly helped my career after I have been using other design tools. I needed Altium and he is so generous with his time and knowledge.

Sir, thank you so much for such an amazingly detailed tutorial! This is extremely helpful. I'll recommend your channel to all of my friends who are interested in PCB and hardware design.

Hi Robert! Thank you very much for the detailed and professional tutorial. I previously used a different software and in my new job I have to use Altium Designer. This really helped transfer the skills and get up and running in the new projects! Your tips have also helped a lot in designing phase as well as thinking about the finished product and the end user or repair man!
Might have to invest in the academy in the future!
Again, thanks for the knowledge!

Thank you so much Robert for sharing such a clear tutorial! You explained the reason behind each step and this is where I like it the most.

[petah]

that's how all tutorials should be made... amazing

Exatamente assim que me senti, ao ouvir os primeiros minutos deste tutorial. Eu utilizei Altium ver 2013, e depois trabalhei em outras ferramentas. Hoje há uma necessidade de trabalhar no Altium e me deparei com muitos comandos escondidos e que mudaram de lugar!!! Muito bom esta sequencia dos 5 videos. Trouxe de uma forma tão simples e tão completa os comandos básicos e dicas muito boas para utilização da ferramenta!!!

[mikenap]

Thank you so much for making these videos. They use Altium at my new videos have been a huge help. Thanks again

To find the LIBRARIES if using Altium 20.1.14, go to panels > components> go up and click on the pointing down arrow on top of the search bar

Took me a while to find it hahah

Anyway thanks a lot Robert, it's a very good tutorial !

[OmarKhanMOK]

Great tutorial! On a side note, at about x2 speed, you sound a bit like Gru from the Despicable Me franchise.

[yaghiyahbrenner]

Robert hi would like to deeply thank you I bought your course and followed all your tips and tricks I sent my first 4 layer board when I assembled it worked first time! the extra effort double checking parts re checking and meticulous labeling of nets allowed me to pick up errors, I hope to buy your high speed course some day.

[NicholasGreenwood]

In Altium Designer 20, it appears the "Part Search" panel is now called "Manufacturer Part Search".

[blakewells]

Wow, best tutorial I've seen yet. I'm new to Altium and this tutorial made it very easy to navigate some intricacies. I enjoy how you explain every detail instead of assuming people know where or how things work. It may have been a bit irritating but announcing every click really helped me follow along. Keep up the good work.
