Altium Enterprise Digital Transformation Electrification and Digitalization are Driving the Automotive Industry It's hard to imagine that not too many decades ago, the most complicated and only "electronics" the average car had was just simply – a radio. Typically, a basic AM/FM device might have had an 8-track or a cassette player made up of a single PCB utilizing thru-hole technology and maybe an IC or two. Examples of early automotive computers / electronics. Image credit chipsetc.com Over time, advancing electronics became critical for almost every Read Article
Compare Bills of Material (BOM), Add Comments to the BOM, Create and Manage Project History Tags, PCB Design Review Competition Winners What’s New in Altium 365: Compare Bills of Material (BOM), Add Comments to the BOM, Create and Manage Project History Tags, PCB Design Review Competition Winners To improve your Altium 365 experience and provide a more collaborative design review, we released the comments on the BOM, where you can leave comments, tag people, and create tasks. Also, with the click of a button, you can compare two BOM versions and see what changed between them. Altium 365 now allows users to mark specific points in a project’s history by using tags as a great way to call out significant versions visually. We implemented Read Article
