Parts Database Library

The Parts download contains everything you need to get an Altium DBLib library up and running in less than 5 minutes.

You do NOT need to have Access installed to use a DBLIB library in Altium.


Using Altium's DBLib interface you can edit and add parts to an Access database.


Take the challenge and see for yourself that you can have your own fully functional DBLib library in 5 minutes or less.


Here are the steps to quickly setup and use the Parts DBLib library:


Download Parts DBLib.


Install the Parts DBLib Library in Altium. See Getting Started.


Use Altium's DBLib to edit or add parts to the database.

You are done, you should have a fully functional Altium DBLib library.

If you are looking for an efficient and easy way to edit and add parts to the database give the Parts Frontend a test drive. 

The Parts DBlib download includes a demo version of the Parts Frontend.  A Frontend application is not required to use an Altium DBLib or SVNDBLIB library.

When using a well designed database Frontend you will spend significantly less time designing library parts, leaving you with more time to design boards.

That's It !
