Validieren einer Komponente

This violation occurs when a target Workspace folder where a component being defined in the Component editor should be saved is not specified.

A notification will be displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Folder path not specified for component <ItemID>

where:

• ItemID is the ID used for the Component Item in the Workspace.

• In the Component editor in Single Component Editing mode, use the Folder field in the Component region (under Advanced Settings) to specify a folder in the target Workspace into which the component will be saved. To manually specify a target folder, click the  button to access the Choose Folder dialog. Browse to, and choose an existing folder, or create a new one on-the-fly.

• In the Component editor in Batch Component Editing mode, use the FolderPath field (in the Component column group) in the component definition region of the editor to specify a folder in the target Workspace into which the component will be saved. To manually specify a target folder, click once inside the FolderPath field for a component to reveal the  button, and click to access the Choose Folder dialog. Browse to, and choose an existing folder, or create a new one on-the-fly.

This violation occurs when the Item ID of a component being defined in the Component editor is the same as the Item ID of another item in the connected Workspace.

A notification will be displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Duplicate Component Id: "<ItemID>"

where:

• ItemID is the ID used for the Component Item in the Workspace.

• In the Component editor in Single Component Editing mode, use the Id field in the Component region (under Advanced Settings) to specify another ID which is unique for the connected Workspace content.

• In the Component editor in Batch Component Editing mode, use the Item ID field in the Component column group of the component definition region to specify another ID which is unique for the connected Workspace content.

This violation typically occurs when an automatically assigned Item ID value of a component is manually overridden. For a new component created through the File » New » Component command or the Components panel (learn more), this field is populated in accordance with the component template defined for the component type chosen in the Create new component dialog. Where a template does not exist, or where the <Undefined> entry is chosen in the dialog, a default naming scheme (CMP-{00000}) is used. For a new component created through the Explorer panel, this field is populated in accordance with the default naming scheme specified for that component's parent folder. If the parent folder has a component template attached, then defined component naming will be brought in from that template. Altium Designer will automatically assign the next available unique ID, based on that scheme, having scanned the entire Workspace and identifiers of existing content.

This violation occurs when the name of a component being defined in the Component editor is the same as the name of a component in the connected Workspace.

A notification is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Duplicate component by Name

Assign different and unique name(s) to the component(s) as required.

• In the Component editor in Batch Component Editing mode, use the Item ID field in the Component column group of the component definition region to specify another name which is unique for the components in the connected Workspace.

This violation occurs when a component being defined in the Component editor has a Part Choice that is used by another component in the connected Workspace.

A notification is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Duplicate component by Part Choice list

Assign different and unique Part Choice(s) to the component(s) as required.

• In the Component editor in Single Component Editing mode, use the Part Choices region to change the list of component Part Choices to which is unique for the components in the connected Workspace.

• In the Component editor in Batch Component Editing mode, use the Part Choice n column group of the component definition region to change the list of component Part Choices to which is unique for the components in the connected Workspace.

This violation occurs when a component being defined in the Component editor has an ambiguous mapping between component symbol and footprint(s). For example, the violation occurs if the symbol has pins defined in their Designator fields as 1, 2, 3, while the footprint has pads defined in their Designator fields as B, C, E, or when the number of symbol pins is larger than the number of footprint pads.

Pin <PinDesignator> of the symbol <SymbolName> (<SymbolRevisionID>) does not have corresponding pad <PadDesignator> in footprint <FootprintName> (<FootprintRevisionID>)

where:

• PinDesignator is the symbol pin's Designator.

• SymbolName is the name of the symbol.

• SymbolRevisionID is the Item-Revision ID of the symbol.

• PadDesignator is the footprint pad's Designator.

• FootprintName is the name of the footprint.

• FootprintRevisionID is the Item-Revision ID of the footprint.

Edit currently added or select another model to make sure that symbol pins have one-to-one matching to footprint pads.

• In the Component editor in Single Component Editing mode:

  • Click the  control at the top right of model's preview to modify the model that is currently being used (referenced) by the component in the corresponding temporary editor for that model type.

  • Click the  control at the top right of model's preview and choose the Select Model entry from the menu to browse for and choose, a different model, or a different revision of that same model.

  • Click the  control at the top right of symbol's preview to access the Pins panel and change the mapped pad/pin targets directly by clicking on a cell of the model and entering the required value.

• In the Component editor in Batch Component Editing mode:

  • Right-click on the model entry in the Model Links region and choose the Edit command from the context menu to modify the model that is currently being used (referenced) by the component in the corresponding temporary editor for that model type.

  • Click on the model's Item ID field in the Model Links region then click on the  button to browse for and choose, a different model, or a different revision of that same model.

This violation occurs when a linked model that is being used (referenced) by a component definition is detected to be in an inapplicable state. For example, the model is currently Obsolete and should therefore not be used. Applicability is determined through the Allowed to be used in designs option in the State Properties dialog. From within the Edit Lifecycle Definitions dialog, access this dialog for the required state, either by double-clicking on the state's entry within the parent lifecycle definition or by selecting its entry and clicking the edit icon that appears (). When this option is enabled, a model in this state is permitted to be used in a component. It is deemed to be Applicable. If this option is disabled, a model in this state cannot be validly used and is deemed Inapplicable (or non-applicable).

A notification is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

<ModeName> (<ModelRevisionID>) revision is in inapplicable state

where:

• ModelName is the name of the model.

A notification is displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

<ModelName> (<ModelRevisionID>) revision is Out of Date

where:
