Add any Release Notes as required, and then click the OK button.
The Create New Revision dialog will appear, with the dragged file listed in the Sources region.

Drag and Drop from Windows ExplorerĪ 3D model file can also be uploaded by dragging the selected file from a source folder in your Windows Explorer, and dropping onto the required target 3D Model Item in the Explorer panel. Switch to the Preview aspect view to see its graphical depiction. The graphical depiction of the uploaded model can be viewed in the Preview aspect view for the Item Revision, in the Explorer panel.īrowse the released revision of the 3D Model Item, back in the Explorer panel. Proceed with the upload by clicking the OK button.
Once the desired file is dropped in, or selected and the Open button clicked, an entry for it will appear back in the Sources region. Manually specifying the 3D model file to be uploaded to the target 3D Model Item. 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 Item Naming Scheme of the parent folder is applied to the Unique ID for each Item
#Altium designer 18 atina code
Several default example schemes are available, utilizing the short-form code for either the folder type ( A3DL - Altium 3D Library) or the content type ( A3D - Altium 3D): This defines the format of the unique ID for each Item created in that particular folder. Specifying the folder type - its intended use - gives a visual indication of the content of that folder when browsing the Server!Īnother important aspect of the parent folder is the Item Naming Scheme employed for it. To nominate a folder's use as a container for 3D Model Items, set its Folder Type as 3D Models, when defining the folder properties in the Edit Folder dialog. It simply provides a visual 'clue' a s to what is stored in a folder and can be beneficial when browsing a Server for particular content. This has no bearing on the content of the folder - uploading will always result in a 3D Model Item. When creating the folder in which to store a 3D Model Item, you can specify the folder's type. Once a 3D Model Item has been created (and data uploaded into a revision of it), and its lifecycle state set to a level that the organization views as ready for use at the design level, it can be reused in future board-level design projects. Used in a similar fashion to file-based linked 3D models, a managed 3D Model Item can hold a 3D model file, that is then referenced through a 3D body attached to a standard 2D footprint.
