Parent page: Server Items

Altium Designer, in conjunction with your managed content server, caters for the ability to store free files. With relevant folder type and Item type support, Items can be created to accommodate one or more files of any format. This allows you to effectively take advantage of the Server's secure nature, and underlines the Server as being the perfect place to store anything, including your source binary files together in a single Item.

And facilitating the streamlined flow of data files, bi-directional drag-and-drop functionality is provided, enabling you to quickly move files between folders in your Server, and folders in your Windows Explorer.

Folder Type

When creating the folder in which to store a Binary File Item, you can specify the folder's type. This has no bearing on the content of the folder - uploading will always result in Binary File Item. It simply provides a visual 'clue' as to what is stored in a folder and can be beneficial when browsing a Server for particular content. To nominate a folder's use as a container for Binary File Items, set its Folder Type as Binary Files, when defining the folder pro perties in the Edit Folder dialog.

Item Type

When creating the target Binary File Item in which to store your source file(s), ensure that its Content Type is set to Binary File, in the Create New Item dialog. If you are creating the Item in a Binary Files type folder, this Item type will be available from the right-click context menu when creating the Item.

Uploading Files

So far, we've discussed the support for a Binary File Item in the Server, in terms of related folder and item types. Uploading one or more files into the revision of such an item can be performed in a couple of ways.

Upload Menu

File(s) can be uploaded by right-clicking on the required Binary File Item in the Explorer panel, and choosing the Upload command from the context menu. The Create New Revision dialog will appear, in which you can change Name, Description, and add release notes as required. Use the Sources region of the dialog to load the required file(s). This can be performed by dragging and dropping the file(s) from Windows Explorer, onto the region. Alternatively, click the  button - the Add Files dialog (a standard Windows open-type dialog) will appear. Use this to browse to, and open, the required file(s).

If the Item has no planned revision, upload will be to the next planned revision, created on-the-fly as part of the upload process.

The chosen file(s) will be added, and listed, in the Sources region of the dialog. If you need to adjust the content of the list, add additional files, or select and remove files (click the  button) as required.

The Sources area supports selection of multiple files using standard multi-select techniques (Ctrl+click, Shift+click, and click-and-drag).

Once the desired file list is ready, proceed with the upload by clicking the OK button. The uploaded fileset will be available in the Details aspect view for the Item Revision, in the Explorer panel.

Drag and Drop from Windows Explorer

One or more files can also be uploaded by dragging the selected file(s) from a source folder in your Windows Explorer, and dropping onto the required target Binary File Item in the Explorer panel. The Create New Revision dialog will appear, with the dragged file(s) listed in the Sources region. Modify Name and Description, and add any Release Notes as required. If you need to add additional files, this can be done by clicking the  button, and browsing for the file(s), or by dragging and dropping file(s) onto the Sources area. If you need to remove files, select them in the list and click the  button.

If the existing Binary File Item has no planned revision, upload will be to the next planned revision, created on-the-fly as part of the upload process. If you drop the dragged file(s) away from an existing Item, a new Binary File Item will be created. The Create New Item dialog will appear. The Name of the item will be the file name, including extension (for multiple files, entries will be separated by a semi-colon). The Description will be in the format Uploaded from <FileNameandPath>, Size <FileSize>, Created on <FileCreationDate> (for multiple files, entries will be separated by a semi-colon). Change these as required. The Item ID will be in accordance with the Item Naming scheme defined at the folder level. If the folder has no naming scheme defined, naming will follow the $CONTENT_TYPE_CODE-001-{0000} scheme.

Once the desired file list is ready, proceed with the upload by clicking the OK button. The uploaded fileset will be available in the Details aspect view for the Item Revision, in the Explorer panel.

Updating a Binary File Item

If you need to change the file(s) stored in a Binary File Item, upload the required new file(s) to that Item - the new file(s) will be stored in the next revision of that Item.

Downloading Files

Downloading the file(s) stored in a Binary File Item can be performed from the Explorer panel in the following ways:

  • By right-clicking on the required Item Revision and choosing the Operations » Download command from the context menu. All files stored in that revision will be downloaded into a sub-folder under the chosen directory, named using the Item Revision ID. The files can be found in the Released folder therein.
Access the Download command from the top-level entry for a Binary File Item itself, to download the files stored in the latest revision of that Item.
Click the Explore button in the Download from Vault dialog, to quickly explore to the download folder.
  • By selecting the required file(s) for the Item Revision, in its Details aspect view, right-clicking, and choosing the Download command from the context menu. Nominate the target folder to receive the file(s), in the subsequent Browse For Folder dialog.

Opening a File

To open a file that is stored in a revision of a Binary File Item, select that file - in the Details aspect view for the revision - then right-click and choose the Open command from the context menu. The relevant application (or Altium Designer itself) will be used to present the file, where applicable to do so.
