Altium continues to deliver electronics design tools that break the mould, with the latest release – Altium Designer 6.9. Altium Designer 6.9 takes Altium Designer 6.8 one step further, building on market-leading features such as real-time 3D PCB visualization and introducing powerful new features such as programmable technology support and system connectivity.
Altium Designer 6.9 also combines with Altium’s Desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable development platform, to give designers a unique product development environment and the freedom to conceive and create innovative products – from concept right through to deployment, with or without device intelligence, with or without hardware.
Highlights of this release include:
- 3D STEP file import for component bodies
- 3D STEP export of complete board assemblies
- 3D Shadowing and display Object Color by Layer
- Improved Transparent Layer Mode options
- FPGA device Power Monitoring
- Design Refactoring for Schematic-Device Sheet conversion
Altium Designer 6.9 also includes new FPGA peripheral cores (supporting both OpenBus and schematic-based design), context-sensitive C language help, the ability to capture 3D images to the Windows clipboard and new user interface features such as Units Toggling and a 3D Origin Marker.
