Engineering teams often lose time and context when design work is spread across disconnected tools, file systems, and collaboration platforms. Schematic capture, PCB layout, system design, documentation, and collaboration are handled in different places - making it harder to maintain consistency, onboard new team members, and understand design intent as projects evolve. This guided overview shows how Altium Designer unifies the entire electronics design workflow into a single, connected environment, so teams can focus on designing instead of managing tools.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium brings design, data, and collaboration together in one platform. Teams gain better visibility, fewer handoffs, and a smoother path from concept to release - helping projects move faster with less friction and greater confidence.
Manufacturing deliverables are often created at the end of a project using disconnected export steps, custom scripts, or manual checklists. That approach makes outputs fragile - files can fall out of sync with the design, variants can be missed, and last-minute changes often require time-consuming rework. This guided demo shows how to automate fabrication, assembly, and documentation outputs directly from live design data using Output Jobs in Altium Designer.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium turns manufacturing deliverables from a manual, error-prone task into an automated, design-driven workflow - reducing release friction, preventing outdated files, and giving manufacturing teams exactly what they need, every time.
ECAD–MCAD collaboration often breaks down when teams rely on file exports, screenshots, and manual alignment to communicate changes. Board shape updates get missed, component placement drifts, and mechanical constraints like keepouts or height limits do not make it back to the layout until too late - when fixes are expensive. This guided demo shows how to use CoDesigner to synchronize PCB designs between Altium Designer and supported MCAD tools through an Altium Workspace, so both teams stay aligned on the same evolving design intent.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium CoDesigner replaces fragile file exchanges with a controlled, bidirectional synchronization workflow - helping electrical and mechanical teams catch fit and placement issues earlier, reduce rework, and move faster with confidence that both domains reflect the same design reality.
HDI and high-speed PCB designs often run into trouble when stack-up planning, impedance targets, and routing constraints are treated as separate tasks - or applied after the layout is already underway. When that happens, designers are forced to rework routing, chase signal-integrity issues, or adjust fabrication details late in the process. This guided demo shows how to design HDI and high-speed boards in Altium Designer using a unified, constraint-driven workflow where stack-up decisions directly control routing behavior from the start.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium brings HDI structure, high-speed constraints, and routing into a single workflow - helping teams design with confidence, reduce rework, and deliver manufacturable high-performance boards faster.
When products span multiple PCBs and harnesses, integration risk often hides until late in development - misassigned pins, mismatched connectors, incorrect harness lengths, or mechanical fit issues that are not discovered until assembly or testing. This guided demo shows how to design, link, and validate multi-board systems and harnesses together in Altium Designer, so electrical and mechanical intent stay aligned from the start.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium connects harness design, system schematics, and physical multi-board assembly into a single workflow. Teams catch integration issues earlier, reduce late-stage rework, and move from concept to system-level release with greater confidence and predictability.
Manual routing often breaks down when design rules, spacing constraints, and topology decisions are not enforced until after traces are placed. That is when designers spend time cleaning up violations, re-routing dense areas, or fixing high-speed paths that no longer meet timing or impedance requirements. This guided demo shows how to use Altium Designer’s rule-driven interactive routing to let constraints guide every routing decision in real time - so layouts stay clean, compliant, and efficient as complexity increases.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium turns routing from a manual, error-prone task into a constraint-driven workflow - reducing cleanup, improving layout quality, and helping teams complete complex PCB designs faster with greater confidence.
Supply chain risk and cost issues often surface too late - after a design is complete, parts are selected, and procurement discovers shortages, price spikes, or obsolescence. When component intelligence lives outside the design environment in disconnected tools and spreadsheets, teams are forced into reactive part swaps, rushed ECOs, and schedule delays. This guided demo shows how to embed live supply chain intelligence directly into the BOM with Altium, so sourcing realities inform design decisions from the start.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium turns the BOM from a static export into a living source of truth. Teams gain earlier visibility into risk and cost, respond faster to market changes, and move to release with greater confidence - without breaking design flow or relying on disconnected tools.
Rigid-flex PCB designs often break down when electrical stack-ups, mechanical regions, and folding intent are defined in isolation. Board regions may not match the intended bend behavior, substacks get misapplied, and mechanical fit issues remain hidden until late prototypes or physical mockups. This guided demo shows how to design rigid-flex PCBs directly in Altium Designer by defining stack-ups, regions, and bends in one connected environment - so electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing intent stay aligned from the start.
In this walkthrough, we will cover the core features that allow you to:
By following these steps, you will see how Altium turns rigid-flex design from a risky electromechanical handoff into a unified workflow - where substacks, regions, bends, routing, and documentation stay connected. Teams catch fit and construction issues earlier, reduce physical mockups and respins, and move rigid-flex designs to manufacturing with greater confidence and predictability.
