Create clearer schematicsHierachical editor lets you logically partition even the most complex design.Schematic level designShare Altium Designer includes a graphical design environment that goes way beyond traditional schematic capture. For a start, it’s not an isolated capture tool, but a central part of a unified design system. The work you do at the schematic level is directly connected to the other areas of your design such as your PCB. Change a designator or modify parts in the design and the system maintains complete synchronization with the PCB. Change the pinout of an FPGA and the FPGA project, board and schematic all stay in complete agreement. That’s the power of unified design.A single data model means less risk As you capture...

CAM350 for PCB Designers and Electrical Engineers CAM350 will import your CAD database or you can choose to import Gerber files. It will then verify that the electrical characteristics match the design intent. Errors can occur in translation such as accidental inclusion of non electrical items in Gerber output or problems with manual separation of voltages on a plane layer. CAM350 will graphically match up original design files with Gerbers to ensure accuracy by locating any disparities. CAM350 also offers Design Rule Checks (DRC) to verify the Gerber layers match the design rules in your CAD system and the capabilities of your fabricator as well. CAM350\’s Design for Fabrication (DFF) tools insure the board not only matches manufacturing capabilities, but...
