Summary

The Update Parameters From Database dialog allows designer to update the parameters of Altium Designer components with information stored in an external database.

Access

Schematic Sheets

The Schematic Sheets region of the dialog will load all possible schematic documents to which the update can be applied. This can be either a single, free schematic document, or all schematic sheets within the active project. Enable those documents whose components you wish to be considered in the update.

As you enable/disable entries in the Schematic Sheets list, the constituent physical components will be listed in the Component Types region of the dialog.

Component Types

Each component is listed in terms of:

• Physical component name
• Associated logical symbol
• Source library from which it was placed
• Number of instances currently placed across all enabled schematic documents.
