SVNDBlib Cache

Updated July 9, 2021

The SVNDBlib cache contains symbols and footprints that are placed in designs if you use a SVNDBLIb library with Altium. 

The location of the SVNDBLib Cache and Working Folder can be found In Altium Preferences.
















Occasionally SVNDBLib caches can get corrupted (out of sync with the repository) and the best solution is to delete the SVNDBLIB cache folder and to restart Altium.

Close Altium and Delete SVNDBLib Cache Folder at: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Altium\

Where xxx = your user name

Restart Altium to rebuilt the cache.

Using the Parts Frontend (Optional)

Parts includes a feature that can be used to Find and Update the SVNDBLib Cache.

Select SVNDBLIB Cache on Part's main form.







or

Click on the Navigation Pane > Forms > SVNDBLIB

click on image to view



The "Update SVNDBLIB Cache Folders" button can be used to test TortoiseSVN and update the cache.

If you have installed TortoiseSVN with the command line client tools and your repository is properly setup you should see the turtle race on your windows task bar when you select Update SVNDBLib Cache Folders.


To use SVNDBLiB with the Parts Frontend you must install TortoiseSVN with the command line client tools.
