What’s New in Altium Designer
Learn about the new features, enhancements, and important
changes introduced to the latest Altium Designer.
Control of Paste Mask Output for Variants
Output Improvements
Output data needs to be as accurate as possible. For multi-variant designs you can now ensure that the paste mask is only displayed where it is really needed.
Ability to Change Tuning Object Layer Properties
PCB Improvments
Design of high-speed PCBs becomes easier with this latest release. Now, when you need to quickly move tuning elements to a different layer, you can do so from the Properties panel with a single click.
Auto-assign Simulation Models for Components without Models
SPICE Simulation Improvements
This latest version of Altium Designer makes schematic simulation even easier. System intelligence automatically recognizes SPICE models and assigns them to components from available sources.
Quick Browsing of Parameters for a Board
PCB Improvements
Parametric information for your board is now conveniently available from the Properties panel. A single, convenient location with which to browse system, calculated and user-defined parameters, and place as needed in the form of special strings.
Active Links in Text
Schematic Capture Improvements
You can now specify active links to components and nets within a text frame object on a schematic. This handy navigation aid makes it much easier not only to read the document, but also to work with it.
Multifunctional pins
Schematic Capture Improvements
You will often see that modern ICs consist of multi-functional pins. In this latest version of Altium Designer it has become far easier and much more convenient to work with such components.
Custom Diff Pair Suffixes
Schematic Capture Improvements
Even more possibilities for creating differential pairs. Now you can use any postfixes to designate positive and negative net of a differential pair.
PCB Health Check Monitor
PCB Improvements
The condition of the PCB is under your control. A new intelligent feature that gives you confidence that your PCB is okay and complies with design rules.
Display of Alternate Component Parameters
Schematic Capture Improvements
Many schematic solutions are created as multivariant. With the new release, the schematic of multivariant project have become even more detailed and informative.
Components from Altium 365
MultiBoard Improvements
Working with multiboards has become easier and more convenient. Now you have more component sources at your disposal.
New Design Reuse Functionality
Data Мanagement Improvements
A reuse bloks help reduce development time and avoid errors. The new Design Reuse Panel and new functionality expands the possibilities for reuse blocks and snippets.
Relative Length Tuning
High-Speed Design Improvements
Designing high-speed PCB just got easier. The Length Tuning tools is now even more functionality. Complex tasks can now be solved even faster.
Enhanced UI for Via Stack Editing
PCB Design Improvements
The via editing mode is now even more convenient. Information about the via, editing its parameters and connections to polygons are now all in a new and simple, but familiar form.
Generic Components
Data Мanagement Improvements
The way from idea to real devices has become shorter. The new feature will reduce the time it takes to design a schematic.
