Some of the domain information resides in model files, the format of which is typically pre-defined. The PCB model dialog represents the PCB Library Model Editor which provides the capability to change the links of PCB footprints to a schematic component.Įach domain needs some information about each component and a way to map that information to the pins of the schematic component. This diagram shows a DIP14 PCB footprint is linked to a 1488 type schematic component. To test or implement the design it needs to be transferred to another modelling domain, such as simulation, PCB layout, Signal Integrity analysis and so on. A library can contain components and its models.Ī schematic design is a collection of components which have been connected logically.

There are different types of libraries in Altium Designer - normal standalone libraries like PCB Libraries and Schematic Libraries, other library types called integrated libraries which contain different libraries bundled together and database libraries.
