Hi
I'm trying to convert an Altium component database (.DbLib) into an integrated library so that guys can take it offsite to work on designs, etc. I'm using Altium Designer 10.
I'm using the wizard as shown in the Altium wiki, which seems to be doing fine, but most of the output files are blank. This database is comprised of 28 different sheets, some of which have quite a few components. In order to make the database I split all footprints into separate files, and referenced them from an Excel file. The whole setup with footprint and schematic libraries takes up ~200MB, but output files take up only about 10MB.
In the output folder it makes 1 folder for each sheet, with a .IntLib, .LibPkg, .PcbLib and .SchLib file in it. The .PcbLib file contains a blank component PCBComponent_1, and the .SchLib contains a blank Component_1.
Am I doing something wrong with my database which means it won't work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this thing has me baffled.
Thanks, Jodie.
