Getting Started With File Comparison

Created: June 21, 2022

One major benefit of using a version control system is the ability to compare PCB design revisions against one another. If you’re comparing code, using a code difference tool is relatively straightforward. You’re just comparing text. But if you are comparing PCB designs, you need a version control system that is electrically intelligent. It’s important to know who made a change, and when they made it. Altium Designer® and Altium 365® make file comparison easy. You can compare schematics and layouts in detail locally, or through any web browser.

Join us this webinar where we’ll cover:

  • Advantages of comparing PCB design data

  • What file types can be compared

  • How to locally and remotely compare different versions of your design files

  • How to revert to a previous project version
