Design rules are a must for any PCB design, but for them to be active and effective they need to be properly scoped and prioritized. Too often designers construct rules only for them to create conflict or be completely ignored or overtaken by another rule. The updated Altium Designer rules and constraints editor allows designers to easily define and save design scope for any scenario. And to combat unused design rules, the new rules interface validates and checks your design rules for any conflicts or usability issues.

Join us this week where we’ll cover:

  • Building design rules with queries

  • Scoping rules directly from the PCB layout

  • The logic of rule prioritization

  • Utilizing the scope library
