Constraint Manager

The Constraint Manager in Altium Designer is a powerful tool that simplifies and streamlines the complex task of PCB design. Central to this is a unified table-based editor that consolidates all your design rules and constraints, whether they are electrical or physical in nature. This brings everything into one place, saving you the time and effort of navigating through multiple menus and settings.

Master the intricacies of signal path design with precise xSignal path definition. Harness the power to define length tolerances for each path between selected nodes. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your design perfectly aligns with the anticipated performance.

One of the significant advances offered by this feature is the unified access to nets, classes, and rules, both from the schematic level and the PCB editor. Now, with this integrated approach, designers can effortlessly input and modify constraints at both the schematic and layout levels, which enhances workflow and ensures design cohesiveness.

This video recording is a valuable resource and offers practical insights into the basics, from starting a new project to defining xSignal paths in a more complex design. Watch the recording now to improve your skills with the Constraint Manager.
