Altium Designer Onboarding Workshop

Getting started with your new PCB Design Tool

We like to value your decision for Altium Designer and Altium 365. To make your start as smooth and easy as possible we invite you to a special live training workshop where we will demonstrate how to use Altium Designer to produce a PCB design in a typical process starting with a new schematic and concluding with the delivery of manufacturing files to a manufacturer.

The workshop will last approximately 3 hours and will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction
  • Download and Installation
  • Licensing
  • Activating the Altium 365 Workspace
  • Altium’s Unified Environment
  • Starting a New Project
  • Component Usage and Management
  • The Schematic Editor
  • Design Collaboration with Colleagues
  • MCAD CoDesign
  • Transferring a Schematic to the PCB Layout Editor
  • The PCB Layer Stack Manager
  • Design Rules
  • The PCB Editor
  • Output Generation using the Project Releaser
  • Handoff to Manufacturing
