Changing the Lifecycle State of Components used in a Project

Created: May 7, 2025
Updated: May 16, 2025

The video explains how to manage the lifecycle state of components in Altium 365 Pro. It demonstrates how to release design files like Gerber and NC drill files, and how to change the lifecycle state of components in a project to indicate they are trusted in Altium Designer. The user changes multiple components' lifecycle states to prototype and updates the project view to reflect these changes.

Agenda:

Manage Lifecycle States - Change the lifecycle state of components to ensure that the fabrication output will contain the needed files, and change their state from draft to prototype.

Save the Project and Reopen - Reopen the file in Altium Designer to verify the state change.
