Advanced Routing Features & Techniques

Created: March 18, 2022

When routing signals, it can be challenging to get them from point A to point B. You can encounter many obstacles along the way: lack of space, noise, timing challenges, and more. To easily tackle these obstacles, you need a tool built for the advanced routing challenges you face everyday. Altium Designer is an incredibly powerful PCB design tool. To help you get the most out of your experience with Altium Designer, join our webinar this month and learn advanced routing techniques.

We will cover:

  • Differential pairs

  • BGA fanout

  • Routing with rooms

  • Active Route

  • The new gloss and retrace panel
