The most successful PCB designs a result from practice, but for your PCB to function as intended, you also need to test your design. By testing the electronic components of your board before manufacturing you can be sure that it will perform as you intended with your design. Schematic simulation does not guarantee the functionality, reliability or even manufacturability of your design. Applying good design for manufacturing (DFM) practices will
If you were unable to attend the July 19th live ActiveBOM® webinar, you can view the the presentation slides and video recording at your convenience. If you prefer, you can also review the summary below for the session highlights. I briefly discussed some of the challenges design engineers encounter as they search for, select and source parts for designs. Then, I introduced ActiveBOM and provided a demonstration, followed by a summary and Q&A

Depending on your relationship with Altium, the services offered on the Altium Platform will be experienced from within Altium Designer and through the platform's browser-based interface. This page takes a look at the latter and provides an overview of what you'll see when you register an Altium Account and sign in to the Altium Platform Interface. For the latest information on the security,…
A primary capability of the BOM Portal is the dynamic sourcing of real-time manufacture and supplier information for the current Managed BOM. Once the system has mapped and analyzed the BOM content, the BOM line entries are automatically populated with crucial parts information from Altium's resources, including Octopart and IHS Markit, and other enabled parts data sources. The sourced…
AI agents provide substantial advantages for engineering tasks like requirements capturing by significantly enhancing efficiency and automating complex, repetitive workflows. Requirements Portal's Engineering Assistant leverages AI technologies to provide you with fast, automated review tool for your requirements that allows you to ask questions about requirements in your current project in free…
You can quickly and easily upload your existing requirements data into Requirements Portal using the Import Wizard available in the Requirements Module. Leveraging AI-powered extraction, you can import requirements from unstructured PDF, Word, Excel, and CSV files, reducing the time and effort required to manually transfer requirement data and helping you capture requirements more accurately and…
Altium Developer Center is the home for software engineers building on Altium's products. It covers main product areas each with its own APIs, SDKs, and integration surfaces. Access to developer products is managed through Altium Developer Center, where you can enroll in programs to access Altium 365 API, Altium Designer SDK, Embeddable Viewer, and other developer products.

Requirements Portal's Document Export wizard is your go-to for whipping up editable Microsoft Word *.docx files straight from your requirements and V&V activities. You can use predefined templates or upload your own templates. The wizard is fueled by the Python-Docx-Template library, which, in turn, leverages the Jinja Templating Engine. This dynamic duo allows you to craft custom templates…
Defining Custom Fields Requirements Portal already offers a great variety of columns to describe your Requirements. However, if your use-case requires a specific column with a specific name, you can add additional columns called Custom Fields or Custom Columns. Workspace Administrators can review defined custom fields and create new ones on the Settings – Custom Fields page (accessed by clicking…
The Workspace provides an advanced, manufacturing-oriented CAD-centric view of the project. This management interface offers Design, Tasks, and History views options, plus more: Design – display and navigate source project design documents, view design object properties and place review comments. This view uses the Web Viewer interface to present your design across five distinct data sub-views,…
The project Design Reviews page is the central location for all project stakeholders to perform and manage structured reviews of a Workspace design project. The interface allows the creation, access and management of Design Review instances by any Workspace member, which in turn can be assigned to other Workspace members as Reviewers. The Design Review creator (the Initiator) can add attachments…
The BOM Portal’s Consolidated BOM mode allows you to create a procurement-orientated BOM document from multiple engineering BOMs, which unifies the parts requirements for delivering a complete product – typically based on multiple PCBs, modules, or functional sub-sections. It replaces the need to aggregate multiple BOM lists through spreadsheets or other manual means while calculating parts…
