Schematics are made up of one or more schematic files (or schematic sheets). At WARG, we have templates available for schematic sheets that include the WARG logo, address, and other information so that all our projects have a consistent style once you are done with the bootcamp. To create a new schematic file, click File > New > Schematic. To use one of the WARG templates, go to the Properties pane, and under Page Options, select Template and choose one of the WARG templates from the drop down.

4 - Placing Components

Now it’s time to place the components you selected previously. From the hotbar at the top, click on the Place Part button. The Components pane should open up on the right with all the parts in your schematic symbol library. Scroll through the list of parts or search for the components you created from the top, double click on a component to grab it and then click somewhere on the schematic to drop it in.

You can follow the guide below to make your own custom components as well!

WARG Schematic Symbol and Footprint Guidelines

You’ll notice that each part you place has a symbol on top of it that looks something like U?, R? , C?, etc. This is the designator, which is a short text string to identify each component. Every component needs a unique designator, so you’ll need to modify all the designators to replace the question mark with a unique number. This is done by double-clicking a designator to modify its value. Alternatively, you can use Altium’s Annotation tool to automatically do it for you (Tools > Annotation > Annotate Schematics, then click Accept Changes (Create ECO)).
