R2021x-FD01

Assign an Enterprise Item Number
You can import enterprise components and directly assign an enterprise number once the component is created in 3DEXPERIENCE. You can also specify an enterprise item number on existing engineering items.
Automatically Match Schematic Component Instances from 3DEXPERIENCE
You can now select one or more component instances in an Altium schematic and automatch components from 3DEXPERIENCE.
Benefit: You can now assign components from 3DEXPERIENCE for multiple components automatically instead of manually searching and assigning components from 3DEXPERIENCE.
Automatic Classification of Electronic Components in Electronic Component Editor
Components are now classified in the Component Editor automatically based on the parameters when components are imported to 3DEXPERIENCE from existing Altium libraries.
Enhanced Electronic Parameter Panel
The parameter panel of the Electronic Component Editor is enhanced to prevent users from adding parameters with reserved names and rename an existing parameter to a reserved name. Existing matching Component Link parameters is now displayed as a single name-value pair along with the regular parameters.
Support for Copy of ECAD Parameters to IP Classification
Parameter values are now copied to matching attributes when an initial IP Classification is done from the Electronic Component Editor while saving components to 3DEXPERIENCE either from components imported from existing Altium libraries or from manually created libraries.

R2022x GA

Reserve Unreserve Commands Renamed to Lock Unlock
The Reserve and Unreserve commands have been renamed as Lock and Unlock respectively. Also, all instances of reserve and unreserve have been modified to lock and unlock throughout the user interface.
