Project Visualization Shortcuts in Altium 365 Web Viewer

Altium 365 Web Viewer introduces a suite of new visualization shortcuts and features, enhancing the user experience for rigid-flex and standard design projects. These productivity improvements significantly enhance the design and review process, offering more intuitive and efficient ways to navigate and visualize electronic designs.

Key Enhancements

Rigid-Flex Design Interaction:

• Users can fold and unfold rigid-flex boards using the "5" hotkey, streamlining design manipulation.

3D View Customization:

• Flip the top/bottom view in 3D for any design using the "F" hotkey or the top/bottom buttons in the Objects panel.
• The ability to toggle the visibility of various objects in 2D and 3D views, including polygons, 3D objects, and connection lines.

Advanced Navigation Tools:

• Implementing “2” and “3” keyboard shortcuts for quick switching between PCB 2D and 3D views respectively.
• Double-clicking on an object selects the entire net, while single clicks offer iterative selection around the cursor.

Enhanced URL Context:

• The URL includes additional context such as window zoom/location, design/document view (e.g., SCH sheet 1 vs SCH sheet 2 vs PCB vs BOM), layers enabled (for PCB), and variant selection. This feature enables users to return to their exact previous view when reloading a page or sharing URLs.
