Why is Tools -> Options -> Units set to metric for schematic symbols in IntLib?

0

When an Altium schematic symbol is downloaded as an IntLib, the grid is set to metric even though the symbol pin pitch is 100's mil's.

Hello!

We were able to reproduce this error and it is happening to some of our symbols so we're currently finding them all and updating the symbol files.

In the meantime, I have updated the symbol for the 282837 series so you can download them now and the grid is set to mil now. I have requested our CAD team to update the symbol for the LTM4644EY_PBF, we will keep you posted!

Thanks!

Hello,

I can confirm I am seeing the same thing with latest version of AD.

To duplicate issue:
1. View-Grid-Snap. I see "5mm".
2. Settings-Schematic-General-Units. I have mills checked.

To Resolve issue:
1. Click on symbol in the extracted schematic library.
2. View-Toggle Units

Now when I look at a pin location or View-Grid-Snap everything is back to mils.

To test this I used MPN "10137062-00021LF".

I don't know if I would call this an issue, but another major ECAD DB website has an option for mils or mm.

Hope this helps.
