Altium Designer's PCB Editor uses the concept of Design Rules to define the requirements of a design. These rules collectively form an 'instruction set' for the PCB Editor to follow. They cover every aspect of the design - from routing widths, clearances, plane connection styles, routing via styles, and so on - and many of the rules can be monitored in real-time by the online Design Rule Checker …

Parent page: Defining, Scoping & Managing PCB Design Rules The Constraints Editor is a document-based user interface that offers an alternative approach for viewing, creating, and managing the design constraint rules used for your PCB layouts. The editor is arranged into six selectable rule sections of increasing priority – Nets, Diff Pairs, xSignals, Polygons, Components, and Advanced. In…

Parent page: PCB Design Rule Types The design rules of the Electrical category are described below. The Electrical category of design rules. Clearance Default Rule: required i This rule defines the minimum clearance allowed between any two primitive objects on a copper layer. Either a single value for clearance can be specified, or different clearances for different object pairings, through use…

Parent page: PCB Design Rule Types The design rules of the Routing category are described below. The Routing category of design rules. Width Default Rule: required i This rule defines the width of tracks placed on the copper (signal) layers. Constraints Constraints for the Width rule, which apply to all layers. Enter layer-specific values in the grid (hover the cursor over to show). Preferred…
