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.PrjPcb for in house pcb manufacturing
  • Eurocircuit4L\Eurocircuit4L.PrjPcb to work with an external PCB manufacturer.

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.

View-pim-tasks.png

Set the default schematic template at DXP -> Preferences -> System -> New Document Defaults -> Schematic from P:\Library\AltiumLib\Templates\SchematicTemplates:

e.g.: P:\Library\AltiumLib\Templates\SchematicTemplates\A3\HESSO Lanscape A3.SchDot.
