Altium 365 PCB Compare Feature is Released

We are grateful to our beta testers for their valuable feedback. Your insights and suggestions have helped us significantly improve the product, and we couldn't have done it without you.

Specifically, your feedback helped us to:

  • The ability to reset the view by clicking outside of targeted objects.
  • The ability to show a legend that describes the colors representing the added/removed/modified objects visually and in different list icons.
  • The ability to filter the Differences list according to enabled layers:

The PCB Compare feature is valuable for PCB designers. It can be used to:

  • Save time and money by identifying design differences between versions before prototyping, uncovering potential problems early on, and avoiding costly iterations.
  • Help designers find differences between versions that are difficult to see with the naked eye.
  • Track changes and ensure design consistency with version comparison during development.
  • Pre-manufacturing verification to minimize production issues, ensuring a smoother manufacturing process.

Users can open the Project History or Releases page in the Altium 365 Web Viewer or Altium Designer to access the PCB Compare feature. From there, they can select two commits or releases to compare. Stay tuned for more updates and advancements as Altium continues to empower designers worldwide.
