Harness Design Demonstration

Created: May 31, 2023
Updated: July 1, 2024

This video shows the cable Harness Design Features integrated in Altium Designer and its advantages over conventional cable design in third-party tools. The features are presented step-by-step in a Multiboard project from a top-to-down approach.

The project files being used in the demo are included in your set of Altium Designer’s example projects in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Altium\AD<version>\Examples\Harness Demo MB\Harness_Demo_Prj folder. In addition, 2 Intlibs are being used, which can be downloaded here.

Multi-Board Versus Multilayer Designs

Step Up Your Game: Multi-Board Versus Multilayer Designs Sometimes, a circuit board gets too cramped and has too many layers for its good. Highly cramped assemblies and higher layer counts generally increase costs, and you can't always enlarge a board just to fit everything into your mechanical constraints. Things like enclosures, connector placements, attached mechanical or electrical components, and the like all limit what you can do inside the space you are given. What's the difference between a Read Article
