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.

In Parts MCN = Material Control Number (company part number)


That's It !
