Press Release 18/2012
Altium Designer update integrates new functionality based on customer feedback
Latest updates for Altium Designer platform now available for Altium Subscription customers through continuous update model
electronica, Munich – 13 November 2012 – Altium, developer of next generation electronics design software and services, announced the 22nd update for Altium Designer since the release of Altium Designer 10 in March 2011.
This update delivers additional enhancements to Altium Designer as well as specific improvements and new functionality based on Altium Subscription customer feedback. It includes updated FPGA device and vendor tools support for Xilinx ISE 14.2 and Lattice Diamond 2.0 plus a new module for IDF export. The latter can be used in the batch process of OutJobs to create IDF data automatically during the release process together with all other information needed for documentation or production.
Incremental Unroute
During the interactive routing of the PCB and especially while re-using existing boards, unrouting existing tracks is a common task on the way to get best results. With this update, Altium implements a smart way to unroute existing tracks using an incremental process to delete selected routing objects with automatic selection of the adjacent routing objects. Users can easily repeat this process to come to the desired result while saving time compared to the previous implementation.
To deliver these key new features to the users, the continuous update model from Altium is used. This allows Altium to provide new features and enhancements as soon as they are ready without the need to wait for the next service pack or major update.
Availability
The latest update for Altium Designer is available for Altium Subscription customers as part of their subscription benefits at no extra cost. The update can be accessed and installed very easily through Altium Designer and its 'Plug-ins and Updates' page (DXP >> Plug-ins and updates). Designers without Altium Subscription should contact their local Altium Sales & Support Centre or Reseller for advice on the available options and how to get up to date again.
