Title: Using BOTH DBLib and DBLink
Post by: jashugan on April 12, 2016, 03:19:09 pm

Hello,
I'm trying to use both DBLib and DBLink in the library: for the DBLib, I love the fact I can split in table the components. Moreover, in this table I would put any information related to the electronic environment.
However, I need a DBLink to connect to the central database for storage and price information. I don't want to use an unified Database, because I have to work offline.

My problem is that when I launch the BOM, and press the "Include Parameters from Database", Altium includes parameters from DBLib and not the database linked by DBLink, no matter what parameter I have chosen for synchronize to the design.

Do you have any advice for this problem?

Thank you.

jashugan,
Did you find a solution? I'm facing the exact same problem.

I've been facing the same issue on Altium 18, and it's pissing me off
