created in and placed from local libraries, or.The real-world component that gets mounted on the board is represented as a schematic symbol during design capture, and as a PCB footprint for board design. In the following section, you will locate and place the components you need, from the Altium Content Vault. This section of the tutorial will explain the two different approaches to working with components (from libraries, or from the Altium Content Vault).

Save the schematic by selecting File » Save (shortcut: F, S).To make the document fill the viewing area, select View » Fit Document (shortcut: V, D).Confirm that both the Snap and Visible Grids are set to 100mil.For this tutorial, the only change we need to make here is to set the sheet size to A4, this is done in the Page Options section.In Document Options mode (when nothing is selected), the panel is divided into the following sections: Selection Filter, General and Page Options, each section can be opened/collapsed via the small triangle next to the section name.If the Properties panel is not visible, click the click the button at the bottom right of the application and select Properties from the menu that appears.The panel automatically displays the properties of the selected object, or if no object is selected, it displays the properties of the schematic sheet. The properties of most objects, including the schematic sheet (or PCB workspace), are configured in the Interactive Properties panel. If you are new to Altium software then it is worth reading the Exploring Altium Designer page to learn more about the interface, information on how to use panels, and an overview of managing design documents. This tutorial will help you get started by taking you through the entire process of designing a simple PCB - from idea to outputs files.
