Component Placement Problem
« on: December 16, 2019, 05:45:24 pm »
Hello Folks, I have a strange problem (Altium 20) with my libraries, because when I try to add a component to schematic is not possible, a blocked icon style appears,if I select the component in component panel all looks normal but if I try to place it in schematic its impossible, no one error message appears only the block icon.

Screenshot might help?
Is this a compiled intlib you've made yourself in an older version of altium, or in 20?

My guess would be you are trying to place something in the schematic from a .pcblib file. You can't place footprints into schematics. :)
