News & Updates

Create detailed views of bundle contents, control wire and cable paths, and rotate physical models to accurately represent the final harness assembly. These capabilities give you greater control over harness design and help ensure your digital model reflects the physical result.

Discover a new way to work with Requirements Portal through Agentic Requirements Engineering. AI agents analyze your project data and surface proposals for your approval, reducing friction in requirements management and helping align your team's shared model with your design intent.

Learn how to import rule sets with greater flexibility in Altium. When importing rules, you can add new rules to your existing set, replace only rules that match, or completely replace the current rule set giving you full control over how design rules are updated.

What do you get when you pack the power of a small electric car into a combat robot with virtually no room to spare? In the first episode of our collaboration with Team Ribbot and Altium, explore how seamless ECAD-MCAD collaboration helps the team tackle complex design challenges, optimize high-performance designs, reduce errors, and bring products to life faster.

Discover how the Supplier Data Merging feature brings together supplier information from your custom parts database and the Altium Parts Provider into a single, unified view. Access consolidated supplier data wherever supplier part numbers appear, including in ActiveBOM and during component selection.

Take a look inside Altium's Layer Stack Manager and discover how its impedance calculator determines the ideal trace width for your target impedance. In this video, we break down the "black box" behind the calculation and show how the Simbeor-based field solver provides accurate results while eliminating the need for advanced field solver expertise.

See how the Requirements Portal integration in Altium Designer simplifies requirements management by bringing system requirements directly into your PCB design workflow. Connect requirements to design documents, assign tasks, track verification in real time, and keep your entire team aligned with seamless synchronization in Altium 365.

Discover practical SFP and SFP+ routing tips in our latest video, inspired by a real question from the Altium subreddit. We cover how aggressive serpentine length tuning can be, how to reduce impedance discontinuities in tight meanders, and how meandering influences mode conversion at 10G and higher data rates.

Push the limits of PCB design with support for up to 128 signal layers, empowering the development of even the most complex, high-density boards.

Discover our latest video and learn how RF designers use a deeper ground plane to minimize skin-effect resistance, improve signal integrity over long high-frequency routes, and optimize impedance matching for oversized SMT pads in antenna launches and coaxial connectors.

ODB++ Intellectual Property Protection lets you control exactly what design data is included in the ODB++ output, ensuring each manufacturing partner receives only the information needed for their specific fabrication or assembly tasks.

See the highlights from Altium's executive event in Hamburg, where Security and Aerospace leaders explored AI-driven development, digital engineering, supply chain resilience, and the future of mission-critical electronics.

Setting up clearance rules is now more intuitive in the Constraint Manager. Choose the Simple view for faster configuration with grouped object types, or the Advanced view when you need detailed, matrix-based clearance control.

In our latest Altium Academy tutorial, we guide you through configuring the essential HDI PCB design rules in Altium's software. You'll learn how to use your manufacturer's fabrication capabilities to create accurate design rules and constraints for your PCB.

The Web Viewer now features a redesigned search experience for faster access to PCB design data across supported CAD formats. A lightweight, intuitive interface lets you begin with simple search terms and progressively refine results using contextual suggestions.

New bond wire visibility controls give you greater flexibility when working with wire-bonded boards and footprints, making it easier to focus on the details that matter most.
