Altium内容数据保险库

The ability to browse the content of the Altium Content Vault directly through the Explorer panel has been removed by default. Instead, if you attempt to switch to viewing the Altium Content Vault, you will be presented with a dialog. This dialog informs you that the Manufacturer Part Search panel should be used, and offers the ability to continue your search for a part by launching this panel. The content from the Altium Content Vault has, in reality, been ported behind the scenes in support of Manufacturer Part searching. This is highlighted in the Manufacturer Part Search panel through use of the  icon. Component entries listed with this icon have schematic symbol and footprint model items defined and referenced, and therefore, can be placed, downloaded or acquired. The Manufacturer Part Search panel provides the ability to search for real-world manufactured parts by offering a sophisticated search feature based on categories and parametric filtering. The panel harnesses the manufacturer and supplier data resources of the Altium Parts Provider service to source the most pertinent and up-to-date component data. A selected manufactured part can be downloaded as a library or acquired into your active managed content server, or its parameters and datasheets can be added to an existing part in the design space. The preferred supplier(s) of that manufactured part may also be selected and added, as Supplier Link parameters, to an existing design part.

Should you really still need to access the Altium Content Vault through the Explorer panel (not recommended), you can do so by enabling the Explorer.ShowContentVault option, in the Advanced Settings dialog - accessed by clicking the  button, on the System - General page of the Preferences dialog. You will need to restart Altium Designer for the change to this setting to take effect. The content of this document will then still apply.

Note that the Altium Content Vault is hosted on an Amazon S3 Server. Your IT department may need to allow access to this server if proxies are employed. Without access, you will not be able to acquire content from the Altium Content Vault, to your own vault, using the Content Cart.
