The standalone Altium 365 Viewer provides free access to view and share your electronic designs and CAM manufacturing data through your Web Browser. No downloads, no installations, and no registration required. A truly tool-neutral viewing experience that allows you to view and share designs sourced from an ever-expanding variety of supported ECAD design tools. You can even embed Altium 365 Viewer on your own website – taking the viewing experience literally to your own domain.

To ensure a smooth experience with Altium 365 Viewer, make sure that you have the latest version of a supported browser installed, that WebGL is enabled for it, and that the video drivers for your computer are up to date. For more information, see Altium 365 Viewers – Troubleshooting Guide.
For full Terms and Conditions of use, see the Altium 365 Viewer License Agreement. By uploading one or more files to Altium 365 Viewer you acknowledge and agree with these terms, and also with Altium's Privacy Policy.

Key Benefits

  • Design Privacy – viewing of the design is time-limited – available for the duration of your browser session (and no longer available if you close your browser tab). Alternatively, you can choose to share your design through a link, where it will be available to anyone with that link for a period of 48 hours.

This limitation applies only when using Altium 365 Viewer hosted on the Altium website (altium.com/viewer). There is no time limitation when embedding Altium 365 Viewer with your own source files on your own web pages. Alternatively, you can save uploaded data to your Personal Space on the Altium 365 platform (requires registration to AltiumLive/Altium 365). This feature allows you to upload and store your designs for viewing, sharing, commenting and downloading on a permanent basis.

What Can I Upload?

The following sections summarize what can be uploaded to the standalone Altium 365 Viewer.

You can either upload a design OR Gerber data, but not both at the same time. If you have both design and Gerber file data in the same Zip/Rar/7z archive, only the design will be processed and presented in Altium 365 Viewer. Maximum upload size is 200MB.

CAD Designs

In terms of design files, the following CAD design tools are supported, along with the file formats that can be uploaded to Altium 365 Viewer:

  • Altium Designer – Schematic (*.SchDoc, *.Sch) and PCB (*.PcbDoc, *.Pcb) documents.
  • Autodesk® EAGLE™ – Schematic design archive (*.sch) and PCB design archive (*.brd) documents.
Altium 365 Viewer is able to upload EAGLE design files saved with EAGLE version 6.4.0 or later. These are XML-format in nature; EAGLE binary-format design files cannot be uploaded directly. For these older, binary version design files, it is advised to save them in this later (XML) format through your EAGLE software before attempting to upload to the Altium 365 Viewer.
  • KiCad® – Project file (*.pro), Schematic document(*.sch), PCB document (*.kicad_pcb,) and Schematic Symbols Library (*.lib).
  • CircuitStudio – Schematic (*.SchDoc) and PCB (*.CSPcbDoc) documents.

CAM Data

In terms of CAM (manufacturing), the following formats are supported for upload to Altium 365 Viewer:

  • Gerber X2 (along with corresponding NC Drill files).
  • Gerber RS-274X (along with corresponding NC Drill files).
  • ODB++ fileset.

Performing the Upload

Data can be uploaded by:

  • Dragging and dropping your CAD design or archived CAM data (Zip, Rar, 7z, Tgz), or an individual design/manufacturing file, to the indicated area on the Home page.
  • Clicking the button (in the upload area on the Home page) or the Upload Files control (at the top-right of the Home page) and using the Open dialog that appears to browse for the archived CAD design or CAM data, or an individual design/manufacturing file.
If you scroll down the page to see the Viewer Features and How it Works sections, the button will be provided in the banner at the top of the page.

With an archive or individual file chosen (or dropped), the main viewing area will reflect that the upload is in progress. The processing time will depend on the size of the data being uploaded. If the upload fails – typically because a single file is uploaded that is in a non-supported format – the main viewing area will reflect this also.

Javascript
If you want to upload different data into the same viewer page, click the control, below the main viewing window. To upload into a separate viewer tab, click the control at the bottom-left of the main viewing area.

Sharing Your Design

When you upload a CAD design (or CAM data) to Altium 365 Viewer on the Altium website, that design/data is available for the duration of your browser session. Should you wish to share the design/data with others, you can do so by clicking the button, located at the top-right of the main viewing window. A window will be presented containing a link to the design/data. Copy ( ) and share it with others as required – the link will remain active for a period of 48 hours.

Note that design data shared by a link may be indexed by search engines and available to its users.

Obtain a link with which to share your uploaded CAD design (or CAM data) with others – time limited to 48 hours. Obtain a link with which to share your uploaded CAD design (or CAM data) with others – time limited to 48 hours.

When the link is used to access the design/data, a temporary pop-up will appear at the top of the browser window, alerting you to the time left before the link expires.

Those using a shared link will be notified on entry how long is left before the link expires. In this example, 47 hours left to view shared design data. Those using a shared link will be notified on entry how long is left before the link expires. In this example, 47 hours left to view shared design data.

Saving Uploaded Data to Your Altium 365 Personal Space

Being able to upload and view data during your browser session is good. Being able to share a link to that data for 48 hours is better. But by far the best approach would be to have that data permanently stored and available to share with others whenever you like. And not just for viewing, but also for commenting and redlining too. This is where an Altium 365 Personal Space comes in. As its name suggests, a Personal Space is a dedicated area on the Altium 365 infrastructure platform, which is accessible only to you. Your Personal Space accommodates persistent storage of various types of uploaded static data and is completely free – ideal for those who want to experience the collaborative aspect of Altium 365, without the need for a connected Altium 365 Workspace in which to store their data.

The data that you have uploaded to the standalone Altium 365 Viewer can be saved to your Personal Space. To do so, click the button, located at the top-right of the main viewing window, or the button then option. If you are already signed in to AltiumLive, you will be taken to your Personal Space on Altium 365 and the data uploaded there. If you are not currently signed in to AltiumLive, you'll be taken to the Altium 365 Sign In page, with which to do so first.

If you are not currently registered with AltiumLive, you will be taken to the Altium 365 Sign In page. Use the Register control at the bottom of the page to register for an AltiumLive account and therefore obtain access to the Altium 365 platform. Registration will create your Personal Space, to which you will then be taken, and the upload of your data will proceed.

Once the data is uploaded to your Personal Space you will be taken to it directly – presented using Altium 365's Web Viewer interface. In the Files page of your Personal Space, you can view all of your uploads, share with others and upload more – with a more powerful interface that also provides a gateway to the advanced features offered by the Altium 365 Platform.

Javascript
For information on the entire Web Viewer interface and all its supported features, see Web Viewer Features. For detailed information specifically on using comments, see Comments. Comments made within the Viewer are not shared with Altium Designer. They are only seen by stakeholders with whom the data snapshot has been shared, and who are using the Viewer to inspect that data.
If you are not already signed into AltiumLive, you can also click the control at the top-right of the page to access the Altium 365 Sign In page with which to do so (or to register for an account). If you are signed in, this control will present as your photo/picture (or generic icon with the first letter of your name, e.g. ). It then provides access to your AltiumLive account menu, which includes commands to access your Personal Space, any Altium 365 Workspaces that you are a member of, your AltiumLive profile page, and the ability to sign out of your account. If you are a Group Administrator for your company account with Altium, then a Company Dashboard entry will also be present – click to access the Company Dashboard.

Embedding Altium 365 Viewer on Your Own Website

Related page: Altium 365 Personal Space – Embedding Uploaded Data on a Website

Altium 365 Viewer can be embedded on your own website, which allows you to share an uploaded CAD design (or CAM data) with your readership. The embedded Viewer will remain active for as long as the source design files are available, which in the case of files uploaded to the Altium 365 online Viewer is 48 hours. If you use a custom viewer code that references design files hosted on your own website, the embedded viewer will have a permanent source and therefore remain active.

An embedded viewer derived from your Personal Space is persistent and provides all output download options.

The Altium 365 Viewer is ideal for showcasing a development or evaluation board, and by having an interactive platform for your designs, your users can see and get a real feel for the design in a way they couldn't with a standard datasheet or static block diagram.

The following examples show third parties who have embraced and embedded Altium 365 Viewer on their own websites:

Obtaining Embed Code from the Altium Website

When you upload a CAD design or CAM data to Altium 365 Viewer, you also have the opportunity to get the embed code for that design/data – to embed that specific design/data into your own website. To do so, click the button, located above the top-right of the main viewing window. The Share <project> window will appear, from where you can copy the code elements for pasting into your own web page (Copy Code) – ensure that the <script> code is included along with the <div> section.

Select the Embed this design anywhere in the web tile in Viewer's Share window to preview the Embedded HTML code, and then Show Options to access its view settings. The Include views and Default view options you choose are incorporated directly in the available HTML code.

  • Note that the data-project-token entry does not directly refer to a URL for a Zip, Rar, or 7z archive when a CAD design (or CAM Data) has been uploaded to Altium 365 Viewer on the Altium website. Copying the code as is will present that specific (and temporary) design/data when hosted on your website. You can modify this entry to specify self-hosted designs/data, as detailed in Custom Embedded Code below.
  • The best and recommended way to embed an uploaded design is to save it to your Altium 365 Personal Space and then use that project data's Embed option.
  • The Files view in your Personal Space provides a different style of code format for embedding uploaded design/data in a website. This is available as an iframe source that does not require a Javascript entry.

Custom Embedded Code

In the same way as outlined above, an Altium 365 Viewer that references your own design files can be embedded on any web page by placing the Javascript reference and DIV section in the HTML page source. The enabling Javascript code is ideally placed in the <head> section of the webpage, but for convenience can be included after the DIV section:

<script src="https://viewer.altium.com/client/static/js/embed.js"></script>

The DIV code section attaches event listeners used to initialize and style the embedded viewer on your page. In this case, data-project-src is used to specify your own design zip file (mydesign.zip):

<div class="altium-ecad-viewer"
  data-project-src="http://example.com/mydesign.zip"
  style="border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px; height: 500px;
         border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;
         border-color: rgb(241, 241, 241);
         overflow: hidden; max-width: 1280px;
         max-height: 700px; box-sizing: border-box;">
  <a href="https://www.altium.com/viewer/">PCB File Viewer by Altium</a>
</div>

Note:

  • class="altium-ecad-viewer" – this must not be changed, as it is used by the event listeners.
  • data-project-src – this is the link to the design or manufacturing data you want to display. This link should be a public link containing a Zip, Rar, or 7z archive with your PCB project or manufacturing data files.
  • style – this can be changed as required to suit your presentation preferences.
  • The basic embedded code's structure can be obtained from the Embed window available from the Altium 365 Website Viewer, as outlined above, and then modified to suit your needs.

Other Customizations

When adding the Altium 365 Viewer embedded code in your own website, you can optionally specify the type of source data that can be presented and what design outputs are available for download. See the collapsed sections below for detailed information.

Working with an Uploaded Design

Once your design (or single file) is uploaded, you can browse it. The following sections take a detailed look at the various features and functionality Altium 365 Viewer provides to facilitate this. Full functionality is, of course, best enjoyed by having a full design uploaded.

The name of the design (or document if a single file upload) is presented above the main viewing window.

Data Views

Altium 365 Viewer presents your uploaded design across four distinct data views, to show the source schematic(s), board in 2D, board in 3D, and Bill of Materials respectively. Each data view will only be shown if there is a corresponding uploaded document to do so.

When using Altium 365 Viewer on altium.com, all four data views are enabled. When embedding Altium 365 Viewer on your own website, you have the ability to customize which view(s) are presented.

SCH

This view presents the source schematic sheet(s) for the design.

The SCH data view presents the currently selected schematic source document.The SCH data view presents the currently selected schematic source document.

PCB

The 3D data view presents a 3D view of the PCB.The 3D data view presents a 3D view of the PCB.

BOM

This view presents the Bill of Materials for the design. This is built on-the-fly from the source schematic documents – for an Altium Designer design, an ActiveBOM document (*.BomDoc) is neither required, nor used by Altium 365 Viewer.

The BOM data view presents the Bill of Materials for the design – created on-the-fly from the source schematics.The BOM data view presents the Bill of Materials for the design – created on-the-fly from the source schematics.

The BOM reflects all components required to assemble a single board. Pricing information is sourced from Octopart.

The following points relate to working with the view:

  • Clicking on the Name entry for a component will access the page for the corresponding real-world part on the Octopart site (opens in a separate tab).
  • Clicking on a designator will cross-probe to that component on the other data views.
  • You can sort by Name, Price, or Quantity – click a header once to sort in ascending order. Click again to sort in descending order.
  • Use the Search field above the listing to quickly find a component of interest. Search applies across Name, Price, Description and Designator fields.

Common Interface Elements

The following controls (located in the top-right control cluster) are common to various data views:

  • – opens the Comments pane, which allows you to place textural notes on a design data view. Comments can be associated with a specific element, area or location on a view, and are collectively accessed through the Comments pane. Note that unlike in the more advanced Altium 365 viewer platfoms, the Standalone Web Viewer's comments are not saved, or available when the design is shared.
    See Web Viewer Comments for more information.
  • – use this control to access the Search facility, allowing you to search for components and/or nets. This facility is available for the SCH, PCB and 3D data views (the BOM data view has its own search). For more information on using the search facility, see Searching.

  • – use this control to access the Info pane.

The pane is further divided into two sub-views:

  • Controls – gives a helpful listing of controls when browsing the SCH, PCB and 3D data views (some controls are view-specific).
  • Board Info – gives useful summary information about the uploaded design in terms of: Board Size (X and Y dimensions of the board); Layers (total Signal + Plane as well as counts for each); Components (total, including all types of component, with a breakdown of those components on Top and Bottom of the board); Nets (total). Note that the Layers section includes a command link to the Layer Stackup view.
At the bottom of the pane, use the available controls to switch Units between metric (mm) and imperial (mil). Measurement units will initially be those used for the design itself.
  • – provides access to the Downloads pane, which offers a preview of the data download capabilities provided by the more advanced Altium 365 viewers. Note that downloads are functional when you embed the viewer on your own website.
    See Web Viewer Downloading for more information.
  • – use this control to switch to Full Screen mode.
  • – when in Full Screen mode, use this control to exit Full Screen mode (or press Esc).
In the SCH, PCB and 3D data views, there is also a control for launching a new instance of altium.com/viewer (in a new tab). This control – – is located at the bottom-left of the main viewing window.

Selection

Selection of an object within the design can be performed from the SCH, PCB and 3D data views as follows:

  • From the SCH data view (component and net selection) – hover the cursor over a component or wire and click to select. Masking is applied to leave only that component or net fully visible. Information for the selected component/net will appear in the right-hand pane.
Potential objects for selection – components and wires – are highlighted as you move the cursor.
A selected net will be selected across all schematic documents on which it appears.

The SCH data view supports the selection of components and nets. Here, a selected component is shown. Hover the mouse over the image to see a selected net.The SCH data view supports the selection of components and nets. Here, a selected component is shown. Hover the mouse over the image to see a selected net.

  • From the PCB data view (component, pad, via, track segment and net selection) – hover the cursor over a supported object type and click to select. Masking is applied to leave only that object fully visible. Information for the selected object will appear in the right-hand pane.

Only components are highlighted as you move the cursor. Only an individual component, pad, via, track segment, or net can be selected (no cumulative selection). For a selected pad, via, or track segment, associated net information is presented.

To select the entire net, continue clicking to cycle through the selectable objects in a specific location, or click on the Net Name entry in the right-hand pane (see example). Net selection in the PCB data view also can be achieved by either selecting the net in the SCH data view and switching to the PCB data view, or by searching for the net using the Search facility.

For collocated objects, clicking repeatedly will cycle through those objects.

Hover the mouse over the image to see a selected via.

Controls at the top of the right-hand pane enable you to quickly view a selection within another data view, where supported. For example, selecting a component in one data view can be seen in any of the other data views. Selecting a net in the SCH data view will allow that net to be inspected in the PCB and 3D data views also. And for a selected pad, via, or track segment within the PCB data view, you'll be able to quickly view that object within the 3D data view. For more information on this cross-probing support, see the next section.

Cross-probing

When you select a supported object within the active data view, that object is selected (where applicable) on one or more other data views as well – enabling you to quickly cross-probe to that same selection. Cross-probing support is conveniently delivered through controls located at the top of the right-hand pane – displayed when an object is currently selected in the main viewing window.

You can also click on the tab for a data view directly to see the result of cross-probing.

Cross-probing controls (for a selected component).Cross-probing controls (for a selected component).

The following collapsible sections present a few examples of supported cross-probing scenarios:

Searching

Altium 365 Viewer incorporates a search facility that provides a quick and convenient way to locate components and nets throughout your uploaded design. The search feature can be accessed from the SCH, PCB and 3D data views by clicking the button, at the top-right of the view. A Search pane will be presented in which to conduct the search.

Altium 365 Viewer's Search pane.Altium 365 Viewer's Search pane.

To perform a search, start typing your search string. Search is case-insensitive. The pane lists the matching results dynamically as you type. The number of matching results is highlighted at the top of the pane.

Each time the Search pane is freshly opened, the initial search will contain a subset of the full results (if too many). This is highlighted by the text and x more press Enter at the bottom of the list. To fully expand the results list, either click the button, or press Enter (with the cursor in the search field).

Example search conducted from the SCH data view.Example search conducted from the SCH data view.

Results are local to the active data view. When the active data view is SCH, the search is across all source schematic documents.

Click the button to access filter options, to show all components and nets matching the search string, or just components, or just nets.

Filter controls.Filter controls.

The five most recent searches are listed in the Recent Search region of the pane. An entry to the list is only registered once a search result is clicked upon.

With search results listed, click an entry to navigate to that entity – component or net – within the active data view. The component/net will be selected and zoomed within the view where possible, and masking applied to leave only the selected component/net fully visible.

Example of the search facility in action. Shown here is the result of searching for a component within the active PCB data view.
