For installation details please check the Installation section below.</span><br> <br> <span style="background:white">We are very pleased to share with you the first Open Beta Release for Altium Designer 20. With this forthcoming release of Altium Designer, we are extending our commitment to the users' ownership stake in their PCB design tools by focusing our efforts on the stability and overall performance of the product - addressing user-submitted bugs and enhancement requests, and balancing these efforts with the addition of new capabilities that enable our users to exploit the latest trends in the PCB design industry. At all times we strive to bring you a design experience that is Easy, Modern and Powerful, and Altium Designer 20 is no exception.</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:17.55pt;background:white"> <b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D">Highlights of some of the key new features and enhancements<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#2D2D2D;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:15.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;background:white"> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">Routing Enhancements</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">. This release introduces new features that significantly improve the process of Interactive Routing. Snake routing has been introduced that allows routing to flow at any angle, with corner arcs if required. Dragging has also been improved, the push and shove mode now supports arcs and any angle routing, which can be configured from the Properties panel during dragging. Tuning has also been improved to be much more intuitive, fast and easy to use with the same experience for both single traces and differential pairs. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D;background:white"> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxcEYeACVh0YBmGAzSO52Tfcsq2EJPlJG2aGTJkkaylbjZca4chViPgLyoJl01MIYPFLLOygKtZTTJ8ReDqYRTv19vQDBAGSEgTVck6YxiXEcsB38oHIBVv6BCo1UXagt3KWT_JaQ5Do/s1600/image001-774224.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRxcEYeACVh0YBmGAzSO52Tfcsq2EJPlJG2aGTJkkaylbjZca4chViPgLyoJl01MIYPFLLOygKtZTTJ8ReDqYRTv19vQDBAGSEgTVck6YxiXEcsB38oHIBVv6BCo1UXagt3KWT_JaQ5Do/s320/image001-774224.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6757088549963584226" /></a></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <ul type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#2D2D2D;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:15.0pt;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2;background:white"> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">Properties Panel Enhancements</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">. We have spent a lot of time reviewing and discussing the feedback since the release of AD18.

We have implemented modal dialogs with a similar layout as the Properties panel. This option can be controlled using the Double Click Runs Interactive Properties option, found in the Preferences dialog on the Schematic - Graphical Editing page (for Schematic) and PCB Editor - General page (for PCB).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#2D2D2D;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:15.0pt;mso-list:l2 level2 lfo2;background:white"> <b><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">Layout Optimization</span></i></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif"> - the goal here is to minimize scrolling, optimize panel space usage and arrange elements in the panel in a more convenient and logical way.

The Unified Data Model is now available from the moment a project is opened and should not require additional compilation - a true Dynamic Data Model.

This new design rule checks for a continuous signal return path on the designated reference layer above or below the signals targeted by the rule.

Both rules used for net length matching (High Speed - Length and High Speed - Matched Lengths) can now also be used to adjust delays. We use the same solver from Simberian to calculate the trace delay and allow the user to enter Pin Package Delay and Via Delay in the object's properties. In the initial release of Altium Designer 20.0 we do not plan to calculate delays for vias but we do plan to improve that in future versions (this version supports manual via delay definition). You can find the delay for each primitive in the Properties panel (for Track, Pad & Via), as well as the Net delay in the PCB Panel. The Properties panel also displays the cumulative delay for the currently selected primitives (Tracks, Pads & Vias).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#2D2D2D;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:15.0pt;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo5;background:white"> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif">Spice Simulation.</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif"> We are pleased to introduce a fresh up-to-date simulation engine, which provides new algorithms and paves the way for future enhancements.

We decided to include it in this release since there was a lack of ability to swap pins in FPGAs (after the related functions had been removed previously). The new FPGA Pin Mapper provides the ability to add a link to an external Pin File for a schematic component and make a comparison of the Net names between the schematic and that external file.

Altium NEXUS will include cloud-enabled server technology to support collaboration, process management, and data management, hosted in either public or private (on-premise) environments. The core schematic and PCB design technology of Altium NEXUS is identical to that of Altium Designer® 18, sharing 100% of the design capabilities - now and always.<br> <br> As such, Altium Designer 18.0 and beyond will no longer connect to Vault. Customers and users of Vault can switch to Altium NEXUS in "Vault Compatibility Mode" and connect seamlessly to their existing Vault server with full data integrity and preservation of capabilities. There is no additional charge to customers who are on active maintenance subscriptions, and as stated above, the schematic and PCB capabilities, and user interface of Altium NEXUS and Altium Designer 18.0 are identical.<br> <br> As a standalone product Vault 3.0 will be our last release with new capabilities, yet the Vault technology will continue to evolve and advance as a core part of Altium NEXUS. In the near future, Altium NEXUS will offer a "Native Mode" version that will expose new capabilities for collaboration, data management, and process management. These new capabilities are made possible through the integration and continued development of technologies from Vault as well as recent Altium acquisitions of Ciiva, Perception Software, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D">Webinar Recording</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D"><a href="https://altium.zoom.us/recording/play/KpsHLaxXJbqJh0d9sAkpMh1M13J8yXooIo47_KSYBnw-awil7Z9GAY-lgLOldtdz"><b><span style="color:#A5915F;text-decoration:none">Altium NEXUS and the future of Altium Vault</span></b></a></span><o:p></o:p></p> </div> Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432112136897907705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992065757008571272.post-59025287070173355422017-11-03T08:12:00.001-07:002017-11-03T08:12:53.413-07:00Altium Designer 18.0<div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D">Altium Designer 18.0 “Open Beta”</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",serif;color:#2D2D2D"> cycle has started!<br> The first Open Beta version of Altium Designer 18.0 is now available for download.
