Hunter Scott on Thinking about Soldering in Layout

This page looks at the Glossing and Retrace features in the PCB Editor. Where Glossing attempts to shorten the overall route length and reduce the number of corners, Retrace re-applies the preferred width and clearance requirements to an existing route

This page looks at the PCB Editor's support for printed electronics - the ability to print the electronic circuit directly onto a substrate, such as a plastic molding that becomes a part of the product

This page takes a detailed look at support for rigid-flex design in Altium Designer - the name given to a design that is a combination of both flexible circuit(s) and rigid circuit(s)

This page takes a look at defining the stackup for your board using the Layer Stack Manager. It covers topics including layer properties and materials, symmetry and rigid-flex sub-stacks

This page looks at the PCB Editor's support for via stitching (used to tie together larger copper areas on different layers) and via shielding (used to help reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in a route that is carrying an RF signal)

This page introduces Altium Designer - the world's foremost professional PCB design software, where the entire design process is performed within a single Unified Design Environment, the only one of its kind and engineered to deliver optimal productivity
