The design process often requires repetitive work with tedious tasks. Altium Designer 21 represents a better way to design by revitalizing long standing functionality and improving the user experience, as well as performance and stability, based on the feedback from our users. These improvements streamline existing design tasks and empower you to complete sophisticated rigid and rigid-flex designs with realistic 3D modeling. In addition, Altium 365 continues to play an increasingly significant role with the newest release of Altium Designer. Come take a look.

Do you currently use a local file based library? Learn how much time you can save by switching to a centralized collaborative library.
In this workshop we will cover how to easily find components through attributes search and filters. We’ll cover what to do if we don’t have the component in our library, and how we can quickly create new components in 3 different ways. We are also going to talk about the Version Control System and how to compare different component revisions. Lastly, we will use the ActiveBom checks to validate all the components used in a design to prevent project delays due to components being obsolete, outdated, or out of stock through suppliers.

Printed Electronics is emerging to become as common as 3D printing. With this fast-emerging technology, new possibilities have come into the manufacturing arena, allowing engineers and designers to develop products in markets never before realized. New substrates and inks are being developed to address various applications, from biomedical to aerospace and consumer electronics. With the emergence of many contract manufacturers possessing this capability, the cost is competitive. Quick-turn prototypes and volume production are now all possibilities, and with Altium 365 you stay connected directly with your manufacturer throughout the design process. Join us for this informative webinar to see how Altium Designer natively addresses the design of Printed Electronics.

Do you send your board to manufacturing without simulating the circuit first? Or if you do run simulations, are you having to switch between different tools and environments than the one you design your PCB?
Learn how easy SPICE simulation can be with the new AD21 simulation engine and user interface. In this live workshop, we will go through the steps of setting up a schematic design by adding simulation models to all components, a source and a couple of probes. We’ll also discuss what model formats are accepted by the tool and where to find them. Lastly, we will run a few different analyses such as Operating Point, DC Sweep, Transient and AC Sweep - inspecting the final results together.

Do you currently switch back and forth in your ECAD and MCAD views? Do you ever wonder if there’s an easier way to co-design, or upgrade collaborative activities between electrical and mechanical engineers to synchronize designs?
Learn about the possible ECAD x MCAD collaboration options and how Altium CoDesigner can make the integration seamless and keep both domains constantly in-sync. We will go over step-by-step how to create a board shape in the context of the mechanical enclosure including the positioning of mounting holes or board cutouts, the transferring of silkscreen and copper, as well as the placing of components from both MCAD and ECAD sides.

Do you still design your multiboard systems separately? Keeping track of all interconnections through a spreadsheet and relying on all engineers involved to keep updating it on every pin swap?
Learn how Altium can help you keep track of all system interconnections and whole system assembly. We’ll discuss the main challenges of designing a multiboard system and we’ll go over the creation of a new complete multiboard system project from scratch, including a multiboard schematic and multiboard assembly. In the end we review how to make changes to the system so that they resonate in the child design as well.

Do you ever wish there was an easier and faster way to communicate designs with your manufacturers?
Learn how to create dynamic documentation including assembly and fabrication views, detailed and section views, layer stack up, drill drawings and table, dimensions, callouts, notes and more. We will set up templates to save us time when creating documentation and talk about project outputs and how consistent and automated the OutputJob files can make the entire documentation package generation process. Lastly, we will go over the project release process and see how to efficiently communicate it with your fabricators through your workspace.
