To do this, the easiest way is to set the Grid value to 50mil or 100mil, this is done using the G keyboard shortcut. Before drawing a stroke, set 200mil (standard length of the resistor outline) apart from each other with non-connecting sides. It is created thanks to the Place Line option. The next step is to create a stroke of the element. In the menu we set the names of the pin to be hidden and set the pin length to 100mil (this is the basic length of the resistor pin on the schematics). We do it after clicking on the pin, after which the parameter menu will appear. The pins have one connection pad, it is marked with four square-shaped dots.Īfter adding the pin, you need to edit their parameters.

We start work on creating an element by inserting pins, thanks to the Place Pin function.Īfter choosing the Place Pin option, we insert two pins, as it has a resistor. We set it to R?, a character ? means that when adding more items in the diagram, they automatically receive the number in the order of addition. The most important setting is the setting of the element symbol, this is done by changing the Designator function. In the menu, set the name of the element visible in the list of elements in libraries. After pressing the button, a window will appear from the element parameters menu. To start editing the element, press the Edit button. The name of the basic element is Component. To do this, click RMB and choose “Add New to Project -> Schematic Library”.Īfter creating the Altium Designer Schematic Library, we have already added one element in the list of elements. To create Altium Designer Schematic Library, you must add the.
