Access Parts Data from Digi-Key in Altium Designer From initial design to manufacturing, take advantage of supply chain integration between Altium and Digi-Key to help you stay productive. When your design is ready for production, upload your Altium BOM via Digi-Key’s BOM Manager to quickly create a new component order. Altium and Digi-Key have teamed up to create a single environment to design and check inventory: use Altium Designer or A365 to design your PCB, create your BOM, and confirm inventory availability. When you don’t have a dedicated sourcing specialist or the right supply chain tools, you may be forced to manually source data, part numbers, and CAD models for your new design. Take advantage of the Digi-Key BOM import to Altium Designer.Įngineering and board layout are crucial and obvious aspects of PCB design, but sourcing components and finding parts replacements can be time-consuming tasks. Maybe it's worth spending some time to play with it later but after previous experiences with Altium I'm not immediately confident that it's going to work as well as they make it look.Altium and Digi-Key are working together to make design, sourcing, and purchasing easier for PCB design teams. Being able to add just a supplier link to an existing part would be great but I get no right click options on the supplier part numbers. It looks like a cool feature but holy shit I do NOT want it to add all ten thousand parameters that all of those suppliers have to my database! It looks like you can filter/translate parameters in the Parts Providers section of settings but it looks like it might be a huge pain. I didn't know you could use the manufacturer part search to import components like that-I've had the same DBLib since before they added that part search and have been managing it manually ever since. What happens when you try? Where do you get stuck? In this case it seems like the problem may actually be that Altium can't write to an Excel file via the database link as dunkemhigh says, so you may not be able to do what you want without switching to access or something else.
So you're trying to follow that video, great. You haven't actually answered these questions.
