We’re very pleased to announce the release of Altium Vault^® 2.0. This release represents a big step forward for our collaboration and ECAD data management product family.

Considerable effort has been placed on streamlining the experience as much as possible to make daily work with it more efficient and productive.

Integrated SVN services with the . Design repositories can be hosted by server itself, using the to manage access control and broadcast user status.
File-less editing of items. Items hosted in the can be edited directly without the need to download, and then release manually.
items are now available from the panel. Making them fast to browse, search and place in a design.
Huge improvements to the CmpLib editor aimed at making it faster and easier to create components for the .

Alongside these enhancements, we’re adding powerful collaboration and team centric features:

Managed Projects. Design teams can collaborate on designs in real time, using predefined project templates and centralized storage.
Network Installation Service. Altium Designer^® Installations and Altium extensions can be managed and deploy from a single, central location.
Backup and restoration tools.

With these updates and new features, we’ve decided to simplify the licensing for Altium 2.0 by creating 3 distinct editions aimed at people working with components and libraries, small design workgroups and large enterprise set-ups.

Altium Server and Personal Server

For organisations using the Altium Server (and / or Team Configuration Center) with subscription, we will supply you with an upgrade to relevant Altium 2.0. Please feel free to get in touch with your Sales and Support Center for help with obtaining the upgrade.

For the time being the Personal Server will remain available to subscription customers in its current version through our Legacy products download page. However moving forward there will be no further development.

More information about the can be found on the Altium website: here and Altium Techdocs: here.

What is Lenz's Law and How Does it Affect PCB Design? Lenz's law is one of the fundamental physical laws that describes the multitude of relationships between electricity and magnetism. Together with Ampere's law, Gauss law, Faraday's law, Coulomb's law, and the Lorentz force law, we have everything we need to understand the classical behavior of the electromagnetic field. Among these laws, Lenz's law and Faraday's law work together to describe how the magnetic field in your PCB is related to the Read Article

What Is a Solder Bridge? Best Practices in PCB Design A PCB variant is often simply thought of as a new layout created from an old design. However, if you’re creative with your routing and layout, you can use a solder bridge jumper to configure portions of a single PCB layout for multiple variants. This lets you quickly create variants of a PCB layout without rerouting traces or changing your schematics. If you plan to use jumpers in your PCB layout, there are some important guidelines to follow to Read Article
