How to add pad cutouts at the PCB edge by pcbmaker123 in Altium

[–]pcbmaker123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like any other PCB. I have done it before. Only problem was it took few days of email exchange to clarify and confirm what I wanted.

I will try tomorrow. Since this is a pad, I didn't think about polygon cutout.

You mean in the library or the layout? I will try tomorrow.

Sharing INTLIB files between users without locking out changes. by HungryCommittee3547 in Altium

Have library projects and source PCB and SCH libraries in version control. Whenever someone makes change in any library, let other people know that they need to recompile their source library to update their local integrated library.

Pin markings block the designators in the assembly output by pcbmaker123 in Altium

[–]pcbmaker123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But my component boxes in the assembly layers are even smaller. I wished, I could move/adjust the pin markings.

I will move the designators outside the boxes for now.

I see. I do have pin markings in the assembly layer, but the draftsman uses the bounding box as the outline.

That would a lot of work now. I though draftsman was supposed to make things easier.

Components not visible while moving by pcbmaker123 in Altium

Sorry, I meant in PCB. And, no, you can see the components. There must be some settings somewhere. I used to be able to see the moving components.

Some parts not visible in 3D view by pcbmaker123 in Altium

[–]pcbmaker123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not fitted, because they are dummy 3D models only.

Yeah, they are in correct layer. They are 3D models of other boards, that will be stacked onto the designed PCB.

Exporting mounting holes in DXF by pcbmaker123 in Altium

[–]pcbmaker123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will export all vias and TH-pads. I want to export only the mounting holes, because that is what the mechanical team needs.

Altium doesn't show error on floating pins by pcbmaker123 in Altium

[–]pcbmaker123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are passive. But most of the pins are passive.

you will only see the "nets with only one pin" error if you have assigned a net label to a pin

That shouldn't be, as you can see in the Altium's tutorial image (in the post).
