New Default Preferences for Altium 365 Web Viewer

Our primary objective is maintaining consistency in the project view between Altium Designer and Altium 365 Web Viewer. In the past, the default Altium Designer preferences used in the Altium 365 Web Viewer created discrepancies when non-default preferences were employed, leading to incorrect design displays during design reviews.

Specifically, we have addressed the following issues:

• Net overscores not being displayed when a single ‘\’ negation is present within the net label.
• Strings appearing to be rotated.
• Custom net colors not being visible.

To ensure that designs are displayed as intended, new preferences have been introduced in Altium 365 Web Viewer. The changes are as follows:

1. Single ‘\’ negation ON ensures that single ‘\’ net overscores are shown.
2. Display strings as rotated OFF ensures that strings always appear right-side-up.
3. Net color override ON ensures that the custom net colors appear.

Through this, the design will appear in the web viewer exactly as the designer intended.

It's important to note that to see the changes, users must recommit/rerelease their projects to regenerate the view with the updated preferences. These updates were made in response to user feedback, and they will greatly enhance the overall viewing experience on the web viewer.
