Exporting a Design to HyperLynx

Created: November 06, 2024 | Updated: December 04, 2025

An Altium Designer PCB can be exported to the HyperLynx ASCII file format (*.HYP).

To access HyperLynx export capabilities in Altium Designer, the HyperLynx feature must be enabled for your installation of Altium Designer. This feature is enabled in Altium Designer by default. It can be enabled/disabled after installation.

For more information about changing installed core functionality, refer to the Installing & Managing page (Altium Designer Develop, Altium Designer Agile, Altium Designer).

To export a PCB document to a HyperLynx file, click [Add New Export Output] in an Outputjob file and select an entry in the HyperLynx (AutoPCB) menu. The export outputs can then be generated directly from the file or as part of the Project Release process.

Alternatively, select the File » Export » HyperLynx command from the main menus of Altium Designer's PCB editor.

If you find an issue, select the text/image and pressCtrl + Enterto send us your feedback.
Feature Availability

The features available to you depend on which Altium solution you have – Altium Develop, an edition of Altium Agile (Agile Teams or Agile Enterprise), or Altium Designer (on active term).

If you don’t see a discussed feature in your software, contact Altium Sales to find out more.
