The lower region of the dialog will display all of the parameters in the alternate part.

Once chosen, the cell displays the alternate part's Library Link or server component, whichever was chosen. For a Not Fitted component, the cell displays the text Not Fitted.Īlternate Part – this option gives access to browsing and selecting the alternate part. Not Fitted – the original component as used in the base design is not fitted/used in this variant of that design. Note that individual parameters can also be varied for a Fitted component – type in the new parameter value. For a newly added variant, all components are Fitted by default and the cell is empty. When is clicked, the Edit Component Variation dialog opens and presents three choices:įitted – the original component as used in the base design is also fitted/used in this variant of that design. This is done by clicking the component cell in the new column to reveal or by right-clicking to access the context menu commands. Once the variant has been created, you can configure the state of each component. The name given the new variant appears as the title and the Component Variation column lists any variations for each component. Variant of – after a new variant is added, a dedicated column appears to the right of Project Components. Also, as a priority for the developers of this program, it is worth noting the integration of ECAD and MCAD systems.Double-click on a component or right-click then select the Cross Probe option to jump to that component on the schematic. In other words, design changes at the board level can be instantly transferred to the FPGA or circuit level and vice versa. Altium Designer is a powerful system that allows you to implement electronic designs at the level of a circuit or program code, and then transfer information to an FPGA or printed circuit board.Ī distinctive feature of the program is the design structure and end-to-end integrity of development at different levels of design. Previously, the same company developed P-CAD, which gained extraordinary popularity among Russian PCB designers. Altium Designeris an integrated computer-aided design (CAD) system for electronic equipment developed by the Australian company Altium.
