Now you can not only quickly and easily build component footprints that comply with the IPC standards, you can also create an accurate 3D STEP model of that component too. To achieve these, you need an accurate 3D model for every component on the board, and to help with that, Altium Designer 16 sees the introduction of automatic 3D STEP model generation in its IPC Component Wizard. As well as realistic 3D visualization for presentation and image generation, the PCB editor also supports importing a mechanical enclosure so you can perform accurate 3D interference checking – all before a single board is made. Offering what is considered by many to be the best-in-class 3 dimensional PCB design platform available today, Altium Designer 16 builds on its outstanding 3D design capabilities.

Many of the Design Rules have also been made more comprehensive and easier to define.Įasily Create Accurate 3D Models and then Show Off your Completed Design in 3D, in a PDF In this release of Altium Designer 16, the new Design Rules Editor adds a Test Queries function that enables you to see that your filters or query language expressions actually have an effect and drop downs make it easier to select your desired filters. In Altium Designer, design rules are used to define the requirements of the design and cover every aspect of the design, including routing widths, clearances, plane connection styles, routing via styles, etc. This offers incredible power and flexibility for your designs. And at the other end of the design process, rule checking has also been simplified with a number of improvements to the PCB Rules and Violations panel, bringing it to the center of the rule violation analysis and resolution process. While the powerful, keyword-driven scoping system remains available, Altium Designer 16 sees the introduction of a carefully selected range of dropdown options for each rule type. Acknowledging that the bulk of the rules that the designer needs to define follow consistent requirements - such as applying to this net class, on that layer - the rule scoping system has been greatly simplified. Altium Designer is well regarded for its powerful and highly configurable rule scoping system. Simplified Design Specification and Verificationĭesign rules are the backbone of the board design process. As well as the original Custom Multi-Component Interconnect mode the Wizard now supports DDR3/DDR4 memory, with support for other interface standards planned for future updates. The enhanced xSignals Wizard guides you though the process of creating xSignals for Interface, Memory and Custom Circuits. Improvements to differential pair length tuning also allows faster and more accurate between-pair and within-pair length matching. The intelligent xSignals wizard, which can quickly detect and define a large number of xSignals under user-guidance, sees the introduction of heuristics to support xSignal creation for the DDR3/DDR4 interface standard, with support for other interface types in the pipeline. The signal delay created by the devices themselves, often referred to as the pin/package delay, can now be accounted for in the overall xSignal length.

In Altium Designer, a signal path that includes multiple nets and series components can be defined as an e xtended Signal, called an xSignal, which can then be targeted by high speed design rules. Acknowledging the growing need for strong support for high speed design, Altium Designer 16 brings a number of important improvements to the definition and routing of high speed signals. Strengthened Support for High-Speed Designĭesigns with high speed signals are becoming more and more common, driven by both improvements in device technology and the ongoing demand for better product performance. Alternatively, have both installed side-by-side, and use the version that best suits your needs.
