Part Description of SR4L034-R is too Long
I have been trying to import the .IntLib I downloaded into the Library Importer tool of Altium Designer version 24 and I receive the following error messages:
SR4L034-R description more then 256 characters.
Description of Model 'SR4L034-R' of component 'SR4L034-R' more then 256 characters.
Apparently, Altium Designer will complain about a component description being too long but it will not allow me to change it since it is embedded into the file. Is there a way for SnapMagic to correct this problem so I can import it into my library data base?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Upon investigation, We found that Altium Designer 24, in conjunction with connected Workspace, enforces a 256-character limit on component descriptions when using the Library Importer tool. The library you attempted to import contained a description with 271 characters, which exceeded this limit, leading to the error you encountered.
We have updated the part page description to comply with the 256-character limit. You should now be able to successfully import this part into your library.
For other parts, we will update our Altium exporter to enforce this limit automatically and prevent similar issues in the future. We will keep you updated on these improvements as they are implemented.
Thank you for being diligent and bringing this to our attention! We are always working to improve our services and stay aligned with new features and requirements. Let us know if you encounter any further issues.
Best Regards,
