Is there a way to import a vault component into a local library ?

Former Member

I don't like the idea of being dependant of external, cloud based libraries.

Internet is not always available, or sometimes it's very slow.

Altium vault is free at the moment, but this might change.

Symbols in the vault are not always drawn as we would like (pins arrangement, size, etc...)

So, is there a way to get a part and models, store them in our own local libs, and if needed edit them ?

    Also, i see no way to download the vault libraries from Altium.  Here's what i get for trying to sign into the altium website:

    they do already have my email address on file - presumably from when I purchased circuit studio.  so i cannot make a new altium live account using the same email / user name as my CS account.

    Agreed, this is basic functionality that needs to be added.  Component creation is a mess currently.  Creation/copying existing components needs to be simple.

    Another voice for this to be solved. I can insert a component from the vault into my schematic, but I can't edit the symbol or footprint & save it to my local library as my custom part. Copy/paste from sch editor into library editor doesn't work, and "Place part" option in the Vault is disabled int he library editor. These issues really needs to be solved & in general, the whole parts & library management, editing & placing parts is way over-complicated in Altium CS. It is a cheaper tool, but it's not free... so it should be better supported.
