Altium - Create & Import New Component from Part Search (Step by Step)

How to use manufacturer part search to create and import a new component.

[alexandermackenzie]

Why Altium doesn't just automatically import the model and footprint to your libraries whenever you place a component from Manufacturer Part Search is beyond me. It just seems to be incredibly inefficient and time consuming to do something that is seemingly pretty common to do.

Thank you for the video, Robert! Very helpful!

I've been messing around with the MFG Part Search panel for like an hour. Decided to check youtube, and the old faithful Robert Feranec came to the rescue again! I don't know why, but I couldn't figure out how to import the part details into a new component; I didn't think to try the SPN list for that! Thanks! I was afraid that Altium removed that capability to force people to use their Vault, which I am not a fan of... This video is perfect, because it lets me leverage vault content without being glued to that subscription. That vault data source always scares me...


And thanks again for all your videos - you do a greatjob instructing (I've got your Udemy courses as well). I wish you the best!

Hey Robert. Thanks for such detailed tutorials on Altium. Being new to this tool, your videos are more helpful than any online documentation.

When I am in manufacture part search and I search a PN, I can never see a schematic or even the download option? please help.

Thank you very much.
I wish this feature was taught in the optional course they gave at my university, they are just teaching you the basic base of how to, not this kind of feature that's so useful.
