Altium room definition between component.
When we refer to flip a component in altium designer we really mean creating a mirror image of the component.
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.
For example one routing.
Altium designer already provided high quality robust support for generation of classes component and net when transferring the design from the schematic to pcb.
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.
Crude but it worked.
A room definition rule will automatically be created and assigned to the room with an initial scope full query of all.
When that room is moved all the components within the room move too.
This dialog can also be accessed in the placement region of the rules dialog.
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.
To move a room without moving the components temporarily disable the associated room definition rule in the pcb rules and constraints editor dialog.
Part of a room s definition is to specify the objects that must be contained within that room which is often components.
To define the components associated with a room double click on the room to display the room definition dialog.
It is a region that assists in the placement of components.
Flip a component in altium designer and other changes.
The components can then be moved to the room by running the tools component placement arrange within room command.
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.
A room is a primitive design object.
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.
