Electronic – Altium Design Rule – How to apply to one named component

altiumdesign-rules

How can I build an Altium Designer rule that applies to only one component or reference designatorrefdes?

I tried selecting my component, S1, from the Query Helper, but that just puts the string 'S1' into the query. What else belongs there?

Altium rules named component

Best Answer

It's InComponent(), i.e.:

InComponent ('J2') OR InComponent('J3') OR InComponent ('J4') OR InComponent ('J5')

Likewise, if you end up making a ComponentClass, it's InComponentClass():

InComponentClass('WaivedClearance')

Remember that if you do a positional re-annotation or something similar at the end that changes reference designators, your rules and component classes won't update automatically.
