Draftsman in the Web Interface

Read (2 min)

The addition of Draftsman to the Altium web interface introduces the design review concept for real-time collaboration. This is probably the most critical file you will submit to your assembler. You can share and view it in a web browser and add comments. Please see Design Documentation with Draftsman to learn how to generate a draftsman document in Altium Designer.

Open a project, and click Draftsman on the top bar menu. If you have multiple draftsman documents in your project, you can open them through the design tree.
