Altium Designer: Revolutionizing High-Speed PCB Routing Solutions

Experience Seamless Interactive Routing

Altium Designer offers best-in-class interactive routing solutions that dramatically reduce manual routing time, even for the most complex projects. With user-friendly routing modes like Push, Walkaround, or Stop at First Obstacle, navigating tight clearances becomes intuitive. Additionally, the clearance boundaries feature allows designers to visualize design rules easily and ensure paths work at a glance.

Maintain Clean Layouts with Gloss and Retrace

Designing elegant layouts is streamlined with Altium Designer's gloss engine, which optimizes route lengths and trace angles. The Retrace tool ensures that when design rules change, selected traces are automatically updated to meet the new constraints, maintaining a clean and efficient design workflow.

Efficient Group Track Routing

Altium Designer enables designers to quickly route entire groups of tracks simultaneously, particularly beneficial for signal groups that require following the same path. Users can adjust bus spacing, switch layers, and toggle via patterns efficiently, all while utilizing push, hug modes, and various cornering styles for single track routing.

Flexible Angle Routing

Routing at any angle becomes easier with Altium Designer, allowing designers to manage tight board clearances, minimize track lengths, and reduce crosstalk effectively. The software offers the flexibility to switch between cornering topologies such as 45°, 90°, rounded corners, or Snake Routing, providing smooth obstacle avoidance and optimal track routing.

Time-saving Automated Routing Features

Save significant hours on the routing process with Altium Designer's ActiveRoute®, offering automated multi-net routing capabilities. By interactively defining a path for new routes to flow while meeting design rules, designers can enhance productivity and streamline the routing phase efficiently.

Enhanced Design Modification Tools

Altium Designer comes equipped with intelligent tools that simplify modifying existing topologies, saving time and effort during the design process. Whether moving topological objects with automatic pushing and obstacle smoothing or quickly updating design object properties, designers can ensure seamless modifications to enhance their PCB designs.
