Part of a room s definition is to specify the objects that must be contained within that room which is often components.
Altium room definition between component.
Rectangular or polygon type rooms can be placed on either the top or bottom layer of the board and can either be placed empty associating components at a later stage or placed around components in the design automatically associating them to the room.
This support is taken to the next level with the ability to define the generation of a hierarchical structure of classes in the pcb document.
When we refer to flip a component in altium designer we really mean creating a mirror image of the component.
When you re building your circuits creating a mirror in altium designer s schematic editor is a great way to stay organized without criss crossing multiple connections.
It is a region that assists in the placement of components.
Altium designer already provided high quality robust support for generation of classes component and net when transferring the design from the schematic to pcb.
A room is a primitive design object.
To scope other design rules as well as being a rule in their own right rooms can also be used to scope other design rules.
It is a region that assists in the placement of components.
The components can then be moved to the room by running the tools component placement arrange within room command.
In my early days of altium i had got rid of rooms so that i set the room to keep components outside and then deleted it.
Crude but it worked.
For example one routing.
Once component s have been assigned to a room they move when the room is moved.
Flip a component in altium designer and other changes.
To define the components associated with a room double click on the room to display the room definition dialog.
This dialog can also be accessed in the placement region of the rules dialog.
Set the scope of the rule to the required component component class or footprint.
Rectangular or polygon type rooms can be placed on either the top or bottom layer of the board and can either be placed empty associating components at a later stage or placed around components in the design automatically associating them to the room.
To move a room without moving the components temporarily disable the associated room definition rule in the pcb rules and constraints editor dialog.
A room is a primitive design object.
When that room is moved all the components within the room move too.
