When it comes to PCB design, Alice personally thinks that Altium should be EDA (Electronic Design Automation)the first of the Big Three, today I read the book I bought the day before yesterday and learned its history and the characteristics of AD16.
circuit board design, also called PCB design, because the circuit board (also called printed circuit board) English abbreviation is PCB, so the circuit board design is also called PCB design. Jinhengda focuses on PCB design and PCB copying, and is also a basic service besides Longgang patch processing and PCBA processing.
the mid-1980s, computer applications began to enter various fields. A company in the United States launched a software package for electronic circuit board design-TANGO, which pioneered EDA (Electronic Design Automation).first.
the end of the 1980 s, WINDOWS systems became popular. protel (which is our main character today and the former name of the company, many people must know it) successively introduced Protel For WINDOWS1.0 and other versions. The visualization functions of these versions have brought great convenience to users and there is no need to remember some complicated commands.
1998, the protel98 with outstanding automatic wiring capabilities was introduced.
1999, launchedProtel99, from circuit design to real board analysis is realized.
2001,Protel changed its name to what we now know as Altium.
In 2006, the Altium Designer6 series was launched, and since thenbegan to be named after years..
2013 saw the launch of Altium Designer13, which developed the design platform to key partners and represented a qualitative leap forward for the electronics industry.
launched Altium Designer16 in 2015, bringing new ways to manage components, such as real-time supply chain management.and so on.
AD16:
1: selection of spare components;
2: Network color synchronization: color synchronization between schematic design and PCB wiring to ensure the accuracy and visibility of documents;
3: New component layout system: can efficiently deal with board design, can dynamically drag and drop and place components, etc;
4: Visual spacing boundary: When PCB is designed to trace, the distance between the trace and the component can be seen, making it easier to design high-density boards;
5: Enhanced pin length definition: This function includes the length of the internal connection wire of the chip, and time-consuming manual calculation can no longer be performed;
6:PADS Logic Exporter: can export design data directly to PADS, saving time;
7: Hole Tolerance Definition: Specific tolerance values are defined for pads and vias to ensure the reliability of PCB manufacturing;
8: Advanced Component Search;
9: Offline design system;
10: New Design Rules Editor: Easily create and manage advanced design rules to avoid design rule conflicts.
is actually a total of 13 characteristics, but Alice I am only a novice in Jinhengda, and I still know how to do SMT patch processing. I 'd like to share it with you today. If you need PCB design, PCB copying, etc., please contact me!
