the PCB panel now includes a Unions mode, select it to list all of the Unions present in the workspace, right-click on a specific union to rename it.įeature in-depth… Pad & Via Templates and Libraries Unions are a type of group object that is created as part of a design process, such as placing via stitching or placing a drill table. This insulation layer is cut and laminated onto specific areas of the board, and because of this selective use, this custom coverlay is often referred to as bikini coverlay. The validity of drill pairs is also monitored – if a drill pair is removed in the manager, usage of that pair is automatically flagged as an error.įeature in-depth… Custom Coverlay SupportĪ common feature on rigid-flex boards is the selective use of coverlay material. The required drill pair is then selected from a list of available drill pairs, for example in the Via dialog. Simple improvements can bring a profound change to usability – with automatic naming and intelligent dependency monitoring, the job of identifying, managing and modifying polygons becomes much easier.ĭrill pairs are now defined in a single location – the Drill-Pair Manager. The xSignal Wizard greatly simplifies the process of defining xSignals, xSignal classes, and suitable Matched Length design rules.įeature in-depth… Polygon Pour Improvements XSignals allow the designer to cluster multiple nets into a single signal, referred to as an xSignal. The string object is now resizable, offers dynamic word wrap and accepts carriage returns to force a new line. The PCB Layout Editor’s String object has been enhanced to support multi-line text, in both Stroke and True Type font modes. External stakeholders now have the means to examine a physical design in three dimensions at high detail, without the need for specialized software.

PCB designs can now be exported the universal 3D PDF format that allows interactive 3D viewing in Adobe® Acrobat® Reader. What’s New in Altium Designer 15.1 3D PDF That’s next-generation electronics design.
Think and design beyond the confines of the device itself and start designing your customer’s total product experience. It allows you to explore and do more, do it in new ways, and design things that haven’t even been thought of yet. Altium Designer provides a single unified solution for the entire design process – the only one of its kind.

In the case of PDF 3D files exported from Altium Designer, the embedded content includes the majority of the data viewable in Altium Designer’s own 3D view – including all tracks, pads, vias, polygons etc, all components and the full set of board layers.Altium Designer combines Schematic, ECAD Libraries, Rules & Constraints, BoM, Supply Chain Management, ECO Processes and World-Class PCB Design tools in one easy to use, Native 3D enhanced, Unified Environment, increasing your entire team’s productivity, efficiency and reducing your overall costs and time to market.Īltium Designer is all about freeing you from the constraints of traditional design limitations and the old “divide and conquer” approach. The result is a modestly sized, cross-platform 3D file format that does not require specialized 3D viewing software. U3D is natively supported by the PDF format and can be simply embedded (and compressed) in a PDF file for interactive 3D viewing in Acrobat Reader. The foundation of this new 3D capability is the industry-developed Universal 3D (U3D) format for computer graphic files, which has been standardized by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) as ECMA-363. PCB designs can now be exported in the universal 3D PDF format that allows interactive 3D viewing in Adobe® Acrobat® Reader.
#ALTIUM DESIGNER 15 PLUS#
The release of Altium Vault 2.5 includes: storage of any file type, user-definable component templates, major improvements to the control of lifecycle transitions and permissions, Item cloning, the ability to create vault components directly from a supplier search, live supply chain data, plus a host of other performance and vault administration enhancements. Alongside the development of Altium Designer 15.1, the Altium Vault continues to receive detailed and focused development attention to improve the ease of use, functionality and performance.
