Review Live Designs, With Feedback Pinned to the Board

Managed design review runs on live schematics and layouts in the browser, with checklists and recorded approvals. Interactive comments and context-aware tasks pin feedback to a component or net, and stay with the design across revisions.

Stop Two Engineers From Overwriting Each Other

Change conflict prevention stops a second designer from overwriting a layout someone else is editing. The team works in parallel on the project without losing changes during the handoff.

Explore Conflict Prevention

Run the Deeper MCAD CoDesign Exchange

Beyond the base exchange, Agile Teams adds rigid-flex synchronization, MCAD-driven component placement, enclosure exchange, and the ability to pull a previous revision. Mechanical and electrical stay aligned on the hard designs.

Explore ECAD-MCAD CoDesign

Design the Full Toolset, Built In

Schematic capture, rules-driven layout, interactive routing, native 3D, rigid-flex, HDI, and multi-board and harness design are all included. The professional environment is the same one your designers already know.

Explore Board Layout

Keep New Parts and Project Management in Sync

New components follow a managed part request before they reach a board, so designers pull from one approved set. Bidirectional Jira integration ties design tasks to the work, so project management sees progress without a status meeting.

Maintain a Live BOM Inside the Design Environment

ActiveBOM keeps the bill of materials continuously updated as engineers design. Each part placed on the schematic reflects real availability, pricing, lifecycle signals, and risk indicators, eliminating spreadsheets and keeping the BOM accurate through release.

Select Parts With Full Risk and Pricing Context

The Enterprise Parts Library gives engineers a governed catalog of approved components enriched with supplier status, contract pricing, risk profiles, and lifecycle intelligence. Engineers select parts with full commercial and technical context.

Synchronize Mechanical and Electrical Design in Real Time

MCAD CoDesigner keeps electrical and mechanical teams aligned by synchronizing changes instantly across ECAD and MCAD environments. Engineers exchange outlines, placements, keepouts, and constraints without file transfers, reducing iteration cycles.

Compare Form-Fit-Function Alternates Instantly

Engineers evaluate Form Fit Function alternates with real commercial and technical intelligence at selection time. Side-by-side comparisons surface availability, pricing, lifecycle signals, and risk profiles to ensure every part is viable and aligned with sourcing strategy.

Validate Designs Through Integrated Simulation

Ansys CoDesigner provides a bi directional connection between Altium Designer and Ansys simulation tools, allowing engineers to validate signal integrity, thermal, and power performance against the live design. Changes flow both ways to keep results aligned.

Analyze Power Performance Without Leaving Altium

Power Analyzer by Keysight integrates power integrity analysis directly into Altium Designer, letting engineers evaluate power performance against live design data as they work. Issues surface early while changes remain inexpensive to address.
