Bringing a new electronic product to market requires more than just an engineering design team. As you move from design through to manufacture, you need to be able to share your design data with a number of stakeholders who may not be directly involved in the design process. These can include test engineers, engineering management, documentation specialists, manufacturers and clients.
To provide a higher level of interaction than simple static images or printouts, the free Altium Designer 6 Viewer Edition can be deployed in situations where stakeholders need the ability to open and interrogate any Altium Designer document.
The Viewer gives true read-only access to any Altium Designer document making design data more accessible to the entire design-chain. As well as opening, viewing and printing documents, you can examine the properties of any design object using the latest Altium Designer 6 features. This could range from checking the parameters in a schematic component, to reviewing the contents of specific layers on the board, to examining the PCB design rules. Since the files cannot be modified, the viewer is ideal for anyone involved in the product development cycle who needs detailed information about the design but must not be able to modify it, such as the production, test, or CAM engineer.
The Altium Designer 6 Viewer Edition license not only enhances collaboration within an organization, but also between the design team and external parties, greatly improving design work flow and project productivity.
Altium Designer Viewer Edition license is provided free of charge to those connected to a valid Altium Designer license and is activated by a license which is registered to the user every 12 months.
