Altium Designer Tutorial 18: How to create an Integrated Library package in Altium Designer 21.

#IntegratedLibraries

#integrated #Libraries reflect #altiumdesigner Integrated Component model. In this model, the higher-level component is modeled within the #schematic #symbol in a #schematic #library file. Other models are linked from the #symbol and component parameters are added to the #symbol. All source #libraries – #symbol and linked #models – are defined within an Integrated Library Package project, which is subsequently compiled into a single file – an #Integrated #Library, or IntLib.

there are essentially four steps to creating an #integrated #library

1) Create a source #library #package.
2) Create and add the required source #schematic #library file(s).
3) Create and add (or point to) the required domain #model file(s).
4) Compile the library package to produce the #integrated #library file.

Specifying Where to Find the Models

With the model files defined, they now need to be made available to the library package, so that they can easily be located when required – remember, the models are referenced by (or linked to) the schematic components. Altium Designer has a standard system for making models available, regardless of whether you are building an integrated library package, or working on a schematic design. There are three ways of making models available:

1. Adding the library/model to the project.
2. Installing the library/model in the Installed Library list. Here, it will be available to all design projects.
3. Defining a search path to the library/model.

Hi do you offer services for custom library and component design ?

Also it creates a new concept and element:, called intlib, however still works with symbol lib and pcb lib... just makes library management more complicated...

I downloaded a resistor library, I'm satisfied with everything, but I want to change the graphic display. there is an easy way. I don't want to change the graphic for each resistor. Thank you in advance for your answer.

My altium freezes up when i clicked library (mine creates in new tab )

Altium sucks, it makes simple things complicated....adding a search path is so simple...but it took a big around and multi steps...
