Circuit Studio Trial

protoham

I am trying to evaluate Circuit Studio, Everything loads, but the library is very limited and I have not been able how to create a part.   Is the Trial version a full version?  Do I need to buy the software to fully evaluate?

    Hi,

     

    The trial version should be fully featured.  CircuitStudio and Altium Designer don't come with large component libraries.  There is something called the vault that has parts you can choose from, put into a design and then copy into you own libraries.  You would build up your own libraries.  Often, at least in my case, there would be custom parameters in your library for internal part numbers, suppliers and such.

     

    You can search for and use libraries from Altium Designer.  That means some reference designs in AD can use the schematics.  Also, sites like Octopart often have links to Altium compatible symbols and footprints.

     

    There are probably newer libraries out there but here is a link to some legacy libraries that should work.

    Hopefully others will respond with their suggestions.

    So I watch some tutorials and see that there is something called a Vault Explorer.  So I try that and it tells me I am not connected.   Everywhere I turn I keep getting stopped from testing this software.  

     

    So is Vault Explorer a separate service?
