Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone else comes across the same problem that I do on a very regular basis.
So what I'll do is
1. Download a symbol and footprint package from Ultra Librarian for Altium
2. Extract the contents of the zip folder into their own folder,
3. Go into Altium and run the script,
4. Select the text file and press import
5. Get a message saying something about this version does not support some kind of text standard (I get this every time whether or not it works so I don't think this is relevent)
6. Go to my schematic and add component
7. Usually the library is already open so I go to select my symbol so that I can use it in my schematic.
But over half of the time when I do this, the schematic symbol hasn't loaded. Instead there is an empty schematic symbol called compoent. Then I'll go into the components .Schlib file and it is empty. Sometimes the .Pcblib file suffers the same fate. (I always double check to make sure that both are supposed to be supplied)
The weird thing is that 9/10 times if I repeat the exact same process, it works
Because of that it is only a mild annoyance but it's happened enough times to me that I want to know why. I did some googling but nothing came up.
Has this ever happened to you?
