Crude but it worked.
Altium room definition between component.
A room is a primitive design object.
13 2 1 1 moving components into a room components that have been.
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.
Once component s have been assigned to a room they move when the room is moved.
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.
A room definition rule will automatically be created and assigned to the room with an initial scope full query of all.
This dialog can also be accessed in the placement region of the rules dialog.
It is a region that assists in the placement of components.
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.
When that room is moved all the components within the room move too.
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.
A room is a primitive design object.
The components can then be moved to the room by running the tools component placement arrange within room command.
It is a region that assists in the placement of components.
Set the scope of the rule to the required component component class or footprint.
For example one routing.
Edit this query to target the specific component class previously defined.
To move a room without moving the components temporarily disable the associated room definition rule in the pcb rules and constraints editor dialog.
Altium designer already provided high quality robust support for generation of classes component and net when transferring the design from the schematic to pcb.
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.
On the next schematic update it would put the room back but it was all the way in the bottom left corner out of the way where its difficult to even select it.
When we refer to flip a component in altium designer we really mean creating a mirror image of the component.
