Depending on your relationship with Altium, the services offered on the Altium Platform will be experienced from within Altium Designer and through the platform's browser-based interface. This page takes a look at the latter and provides an overview of what you'll see when you register an Altium Account and sign in to the Altium Platform Interface. For the latest information on the security,…

Due to the complexity of modern electronic products featuring high-speed and RF circuits, intensive communication between PCB and simulation engineers is required during the PCB design process, and this communication should be as clear and simple for both sides as possible. It is not sufficient to export a design changed by the PCB engineer or optimized by the simulation engineer and pass it to…

Design data that has been released from Altium Designer to a connected Workspace – via the Project Releaser – also needs to be available to the wider enterprise through data management processes such as PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). The presence of up to date ECAD engineering data in a company PLM system provides the design production information necessary for managing procurement,…

An essential part of any design process is reviewing its progress and validity at key development stages, whether this takes the form of collaborative peer discussions or rigid sign-off mechanisms. Inherent in that process, at whatever level, is providing access to all relevant project data, files, comments, visual representations and feedback tools needed by the target reviewer(s). Altium…

Parent page: Creating a New Component The number of design components available to an engineer when capturing their next design can vary from a few hundred scattered across individual symbol and model libraries to hundreds of thousands, stored in a dedicated company parts database. But no matter how many components are available to hand, there will always be more that aren't, and that need to be…

The Art of Collaboration More often than not, there are multiple people involved with the design and development of an electronic product. To do this effectively, the members of that design team need to be able to work collaboratively. Sometimes the collaboration will be informal, for example sharing ideas and suggestions about how the design is to be implemented. Other times it will be formal,…

Requirements Portal is an advanced engineering management tool used to ensure specification and performance compliance during system design development. When enabled for your Altium 365 Workspace, Requirements Portal integrates with your PCB design projects through the exchange of design data and formalized Requirements instances. The system requirements, as created in Requirements Portal, can be…

The recommended and most powerful method to work with projects is to create a new project directly within the connected Workspace or make an existing project available in the Workspace while opting to enable the Workspace's version control. In this case, the project will be stored and managed through the Workspace’s native Version Control System (VCS). However, a new project or an existing…

Parent page: Creating a Project You can make an existing project (a local project, or a local project currently under external version control) available to the Workspace – either as a project mirrored (Simple Sync) in an Altium 365 Workspace or one under a Workspace's native Git Version Control. This allows you to benefit from the project management and collaborative features available through…
