altium-part-importer

Altium Part Importer

Add any catalog component (resistor, capacitor, inductor, IC, connector, diode…) to a user's Altium Designer library with its LCSC Part # attached, so JLCPCB BOM + pick-and-place exports carry it automatically. Drives Altium headlessly via the altium Adom Desktop bridge.

Three paths (fastest first):

  • Reuse an existing symbol for a new value (clone + parametric footprint — no fetch).
  • Create a library from a downloaded Altium .IntLib (one batched round-trip).
  • Append a part into an existing library (cross-lib copy).

Always surveys the user's existing libraries first (--list-libs) and never blind-creates.

For Adom's own machine pins/contacts, use adom-altium-library-importer instead.

Install

adompkg install barrett-land/altium-part-importer

Then read SKILL.md — it covers bridge install, the fast workflow, conventions, and gotchas.
