They are all written in VBScript, and can be used as code examples to write your own. It has a collection of useful scripts for increasing productivity and validating PCBs before being sent of for manufacturing. I’ve uploaded a zip of all these scripts that can be downloaded here.Īlso, I have a project called AltiumScriptCentral which can be downloaded from GitHub. Unfortunately, the original scripts that used to be included with Altium disappeared from Altium Designer 10.

Lots of third-party scripts can be downloaded from the Google Code Project, found here. My personal favourite is VBScript, due to it’s simplicity (while not lacking any power). Altium supports DelphiScript (.pas), EnableBasic, VBScript, JavaScript, and TCL scripting language sets.įrom my personal wonders it seems that Delphi and VBScript are the two most popular ( Delphi being the one most of Altium’s own examples are written in, and VBScript being the one that many 3rd parties have used).

Some PCB OBjects Properties Cannot Be Set Directly, Even Though They Are Visable Through The AutoComplete MenuĪltium supports the ability to wire and run scripts, pieces of code which can perform repetitive tasks or tasks which would otherwise take along time for a person to do and speed up the PCB design process.

Access Violation When Using Some Of The Arc’s Properties.

Looping Through All Schematics In A Project.

Informing Altium That You’ve Changed Things.

This checks the PCB against the rules you set in the constraints dialog.

The DRC in the PCB MUST NOT show any DRC errors.

This checks the schematic data against the PCB data

The transfer from schematic to PCB MUST NOT show any errors.

A good practice is to not allow single pin nets and not allow any unconnected pins (you'll need to explicitly place No-ERCs on unconnected pins). This basically checks your design against the ERC rules specified in Project Options.

In the schematic: Compile/Validate design: The messages window MUST NOT show any errors or even warnings.There are three things you ALWAYS want to have 0 errors once a design is near completion (or even before): It was previously named "Compile" because it performs a compilation over all schematic sheets, thereby checking interconnects and other ERC related issues. Validate Design does only check for schematic issues.

Once you perform a "Design -> Update PCB" you should get an error message stating that some pin doesn't match.
