3D PDF Capabilities Support Seamless Communication 3D PDF Capabilities Support Seamless Communication It’s difficult to communicate aspects of a printed circuit board design effectively, using only text and static images. This is especially true in today’s world of increasingly complex PCB design. However, the Altium Designer3D PDF flip book export capabilities take advantage of the native 3D format, as well as the ability to embed this format into PDF documents. Thisexport format grants users the ability to share a fully-rendered, interactive, 3D Read Article
How To Improve Your Productivity With Added Screen Real Estate How To Improve Your Productivity With Added Screen Real Estate In electronics design, there’s an inherent need to increase productivity whenever possible. To that end, electronics designers also tend to have an inherent affinity for technology that will help them to do that. They’re willing to invest money in the most up-to-date tools, training, and other bells and whistles, if it means saving time and money in the long run. However, there’s another area that’s often overlooked--and which doesn’t cost very Read Article

Facilitating Physical and Electrical PCB Design Comparison Facilitating Physical and Electrical PCB Design Comparison The increasing demand for smaller, more capable electronics has been a major driving factor behind the development of more complex, densely packed PCBs. Although Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software is regularly updated to handle the added complexity of PCB board design, board designers must still review and approve any and all design modifications made by the software. Comparing physical and electrical PCB design through a review cycle Read Article

Enhancing Your Design Efficiency with Project Templates Enhancing Your Design Efficiency with Project Templates HIERARCHICAL SCHEMATIC DESIGN IN ALTIUM DESIGNER New Altium Designer users may not fully understand the benefits of organizing schematic sheets into a hierarchical top-down or bottom-up perspective. As a result, users often proceed with simple (flat) schematic designs without giving a second thought to project organization. In this paper, we’ll take a comprehensive look at the sheet symbols and how they’re used to synchronize the parts of a larger Read Article
Three Ways To Simplify Output Generation Using Altium Designer Three Ways To Simplify Output Generation Using Altium Designer Many of the delays involved with the PCB design to Manufacturing process can be avoided with accurate data and documented notes for fabrication and assembly. In addition, easily reproducing the required data can be a huge time saver for communication between PCB designer and fabricator. The Output Job Configuration file available in Altium Designer can provide a suitable solution for controlling and ultimately simplifying the output generation of Read Article
Automate Output Job File Processing with PCB Release View Automate Output Job File Processing with PCB Release View Altium Designer users can use Altium Vault to produce automated, high-integrity design release systems that automate output job file processing. Using Output Job files to define and store the necessary documentation needs for any Altium Designerproject is an extremely efficient and powerful feature. As more output types are supported by Output Job files (e.g., footprint comparison report, STEP file export, 3D Movie creation), or your company’s Read Article
Variant Management Keeps Designs Synchronized Assembly Variants Management Systems Keeps Designs Synchronized Altium Designer gives you a robust centralized variant management system. You can define any number of design variations of a base design, then manage component parameters and configure the variant components as fitted, not fitted, or alternate parts. As these variants share the same bare board and have impact on the assembly process only, we call these assembly variants. Now you will see how variant management in Altium Designer can harmonize Read Article
Automating Your ECO with Component Links Automating Your ECO with Component Links Component links are what unite your schematic editor with your PCB layout. The utilization of unique IDs allows for the connection and net information to be communicated between the schematic and the PCB design. These links are important, as the seamless connection they create provides you with a truly unified design environment. A UNIFIED DESIGN ENVIRONMENT One of the major advantages of Altium Designer is that it provides you with a single Read Article
