These pages contain informations on how to design Schematics and PCBs using Altium Designer.
Start
New Project
Some model documents are available in the folder
P:\Library\AltiumLib\Templates\ProjectTemplates.
-
HESSO\HESSO2L.PrjPcbfor in house pcb manufacturing -
Eurocircuit4L\Eurocircuit4L.PrjPcbto work with an external PCB manufacturer.
Klick on File->Open in Altium Designer and select the desired project template.
If you’re not sure, ask someone of the Electronics Laboratory AE01.
In the Projects view right-click on the ***.PcbDoc file and klick Save As and save it to
your project folder (typically inside the folder PCB of your project on I:).
Please give your board an explicit name, Pcb.PcbDoc or Board.PcbDoc aren’t!
New Schematic Sheet
Before adding a new Schematic Sheet to your project you have to define the default schematic template.
Set the default schematic template at DXP -> Preferences -> System -> New Document Defaults -> Schematic from
P:\Library\AltiumLib\Templates\SchematicTemplates and choose between A3 or A4 sheet.
E.g. P:\Library\AltiumLib\Templates\SchematicTemplates\A3\HESSO Lanscape A3.SchDot.
Right click on your project and select Add New to Project -> Schematic, to add schematic
sheets.
