Altium Designer: Revolutionizing Hardware Version Control

One Secure Workspace with Granular Access Control

Altium Designer offers a comprehensive solution for hardware development with Altium 365 version control system. This system provides a centralized, secure workspace where all hardware design data, component libraries, and manufacturing packages are stored. Users have the flexibility to access these resources from any device with a browser while having full control over permissions such as viewing, editing, downloading, and resharing design files. The granular access control ensures that sensitive data remains secure and accessible only to authorized personnel.

Git Version Control for Hardware Development

Altium 365's version control system is tailored specifically for hardware development teams, eliminating the need to manage repositories or decipher textual differences. This optimized version control system simplifies the process of tracking changes in projects, allowing users to understand modifications without the complexity of traditional version control systems. By streamlining version control, Altium Designer enables teams to focus on innovation and collaboration rather than grappling with technicalities.

Full Traceability and Transparency

One of the key features of Altium 365 is its emphasis on traceability and transparency. Users can easily trace back changes made to a project, identifying who made the changes, when they were made, and the reasons behind them. The visual diff tool provided by Altium Designer offers a user-friendly interface to comprehend these changes efficiently, allowing users to revert to previous project versions if necessary. This level of traceability ensures accountability and facilitates efficient collaboration among team members.

Key Capabilities for Design Management

Altium 365 offers a range of key capabilities to streamline design management processes. From ECAD connectivity that supports files from Altium Designer, OrCAD, KiCad, and EAGLE, to project history tracking that records all changes introduced in projects, Altium Designer simplifies design management. Additionally, the visual comparison tool enables users to compare different design files such as Schematic, PCB, Gerber, or BOM files, facilitating quick identification of changes between versions. Design reuse and configurable lifecycle management further enhance design efficiency, enabling users to build on proven designs and ensure consistency across projects.

Testimonials from Industry Professionals

Altium Designer has garnered praise from industry professionals, such as Tibor Hegedis, who lauds the platform for providing transparency, traceability, and accountability in project communication. Madhu Annapragada highlights the seamless integration of Altium 365 with Altium Designer, minimizing the learning curve and ensuring a smooth workflow. Orlan Thatcher commends Altium 365 for enabling collaboration and maintaining strict revision and process controls, critical for aerospace and aviation projects. These testimonials underscore the value of Altium Designer in optimizing hardware development processes.
