The documentation home page gives access to the various documentation spaces. The home for documentation is From this page, you can access various documentation areas within Altium.

We have several processes in place to ensure our software documentation is complete, easily accessible, and most of all, correct. So, just how do you build a learning and reference resource to help a designer achieve that? Documenting our software is challenging! It is a single design process, however, much of the knowledge content has to mesh with other content to tell the overall story. On the other hand, achieving that requires you to work in a number of completely different design spaces or editors, all the while managing a large amount of data and design files.Īs the designer, you have to draft the various representations of the components, capture that next great idea as a circuit, design the oddly-shaped folding board to implement the circuit then generate the multitude of outputs needed to feed into the next stage of the process - fabrication, test and assembly. On the one hand, the software has a single overriding function - it is a professional PCB design tool used to help you create and implement a printed circuit board. The DocumentationĬreating learning and reference resources for design software like Altium Designer presents an interesting challenge.


This document gives you helpful tools to guide you through our documentation, whether you are looking for a high-level overview of a particular subject or needing precise information regarding how to use a panel, dialog, preference, etc. Altium's technical documentation is an expansive set of resources that helps you find the information you need for your printed circuit board design needs.
