Altium file format library for Rust

A tool to process Altium file types. Currently this tool is in alpha and only has minimal components fully functioning (so please expect breaking changes!).

This is intended as a replacement for my original tool PyAltium

Project Progress

The goal of this project is to support most file types used by Altium. Reading is a priority, writing will be implemented for some types. The status of various file types is listed below:

	Extension	List Items	Display	Write	Documentation
Binary Schematic Library	.SchLib	✓	Poorly		Good
Binary PCB Library	.PcbLib
Binary Schematic Doc	.SchDoc	✓
Binary PCB Doc	.PcbDoc
Draftsman Doc	.PcbDwf
PCB Project	.PrjPcb
Material Library	.xml		N/A
Any templates	Not Planned

Examples

See altium/examples for some sample usage. Example reading components in a schematic library:

use altium::SchLib;

fn main() {
    let lib = SchLib::open("tests/samples/schlib/simple.SchLib").unwrap();

    // List all librefs stored in this schematic library
    for meta in lib.component_meta() {
        println!(
            "libref: {}, description: {}",
            meta.libref(),
            meta.description()
        );
    }

    // Get a single component by libref
    let mycomp = lib.get_component("Resistor - Standard").unwrap();

    // Write that image to a SVG file. Note that output is pretty buggy still.
    mycomp.save_svg("resistor.svg").unwrap();
}
