Parent page: Installing & Configuring Altium CoDesigner Altium CoDesigner is an interface for transferring printed circuit board designs between the ECAD and MCAD design domains. Once the CoDesigner add-in has been added to your MCAD software, CoDesigner can pass design changes back and forth. Design changes are passed through an Altium Workspace, which acts as a bridge between the ECAD and MCAD…
How MCAD CoDesigner supports Harness Design MCAD CoDesigner’s Harness support integrates the ECAD and MCAD models of the harness. The goal is to allow the harness geometry to be designed in MCAD and then transferred back to ECAD, as the physical parameters (lengths) of the harness elements. The common (and essentially similar) element between the ECAD and MCAD environments is that the schematic…
Altium's MCAD CoDesigner technology connects the mechanical and electrical design domains, allowing the mechanical and electronic engineers to pass the loaded PCB back and forth between the two domains. In your Altium design software, this is achieved through an extension that loads and extracts board and component data from the PCB editor, the MCAD CoDesigner extension. In the MCAD software the…

A Draftsman board fabrication view (Place » Board Fabrication View) is an automated graphic composite of the PCB project's unpopulated (bare) board, as viewed from the top or bottom. The drawing data is sourced from a specified physical board layer, and additional layers can be shown as required. Two placed board fabrication views that show the top and bottom layers of the PCB For even greater…
