Use Company Part Numbers

By default Parts uses a unique incremented 'ID' to link the database to an Altium design.

Example DBLib or SVNDBLIB with Single lookup key set to use the ID field.



Using a unique key (ID) allows database parts to be linked to a design without the need to create company part numbers. 

Company part numbers can easily be added before or after the design is released when a unique key (ID) is used as the lookup field.

For greater flexibility I highly recommend using the unique ID as the lookup key.
