Vault population?

rszemeti

Hi,

 

My main incentive in moving over to CircuitStudio is improved part management ... I was interested in the idea of the "vault" and easy access to 30,000 professional symbols, widely used by the Altium community.

 

Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but the Vault seems rather ... bare?  For example in NXP (who have a huge range of power semis) there is 1 transistor listed ... TI have one single DSP .... AVX have just 4 capacitors ... I was hoping for a little more comprehensive coverage.  Is the Vault a work in progress and still early days, or am I missing something obvious and just need to click a button or add a URL to gain the rest of the vault content?

 

I did find some libraries on the "Altium Live" site,  unfortunately I am unable to access them, as when I click it says "Login to download" .. I login and it says "Insufficient privileges to access this area" or something similar ... "click here to register" .... so I click to register and it says "that email address is already in use" ... which I know it is, as I just logged in with it.   ...

  • I had the exact same problem when I first started Circuit Studio.  I believe it is actually a poor instantiation of the vault window.  If you look closely at the vault window and look at the rectangular box that says "Standard MOSFETS" in one of your examples, you need to use your mouse to pull down the small grey bar at the bottom of that rectangle to expand that viewer.  Then you will see many components in Standard MOSFETS.

    This was my post above...  you will notice that when you pull the box down, that configuration of the Vault window will stay in memory so you don't have to pull it down each time you open the vault.  It seems to be just the way the software comes standard.  Hope this solves your problem.

    Yep, it turns out the component list as standard is minimised so that it can't be seen, with no real indication that it is there ...

     

    What is needed I guess is a minimum height setting on that scroll pane, to stop it minimising to nothing as standard.

     

    I did play with CircuitStudio but in the end ran out of patience/time .. I normally use Eagle and it is relatively quick to draw a circuit diagram, select (or make) parts and then place them on the board ... I was having some difficulty with CircuitStudio to get that far, perhaps I need to watch a tutorial someday, but I think I have run out of trial period, so it may have to wait until I have some time in the summer.
