There are three display modes, each with distinct functions. Select the required mode in the View menu, or press the 1, 2 or 3 shortcut to switch directly to that mode. ► Learn more about Direct ECAD-MCAD Design with Altium CoDesignerĪltium Designer supports displaying and editing the board in 2D or in 3D these are referred to as display modes. Learn more about the features included in each Subscription Plan. ► The features available in Altium CoDesigner depends on your Altium Subscription Plan. Working through a connected Workspace, such as an Altium 365 Workspace, CoDesigner can push the board shape and placed components back and forth between your MCAD software and Altium Designer. More easily bring key stakeholders onside by presenting them with a more concrete view of the end product.ĢD and 3D views of the same region of a board.įor supported MCAD packages, it is also possible to transfer the board and components directly between MCAD and ECAD using CoDesigner, Altium's ECAD-to-MCAD connectivity technology.Experiment with different colored solder masks in order to create a more aesthetically pleasing product that works well with its enclosure and surroundings.Generate more detailed hand assembly instructions, user manuals and instructions using images that are much closer to the reality of what will be seen by a human.Better define manufacturing processes and the order of assembly, knowing all mechanical constraints have been accounted for.Visually locate connectors and other components requiring access for servicing.Perform 3D clearance checking - components can be critically aligned with each other and the enclosure, as required.More than simple visualization, Altium Designer's 3D capabilities allow you to: The substantial improvements in 3D video cards and the supporting software technology have allowed Altium to develop a solution to this problem, which is true three-dimensional PCB editing. However, the physical PCB is a three-dimensional object, which requires the PCB designer to take the multiple-layer, 2D representation on the screen and map that to a 3D representation in their mind. Historically, PCBs have been laid out in a two-dimensional design space that uses colors to represent the various layers of the PCB. Permanently Display a Layer in the Single Layer Mode Display.
