First knowledge of Altium Designer

1. New Project

Right-click the non-working area of the project panel, add new PROJECT/PCB project, right-click on the generated project name, save as, change name and save location

File add File/new/schematic, this will create a free file, and then use the same saved method, change the file name, and then drag it to the built project

2. Schematic design flow:

Launch Schematic editor

Create a project

Creating schematic files

Set the drawing specifications (you can use the system default, and then adjust the drawing process)

Set schematic editor parameters (Tools/shematic preferences)

Loading component libraries

Placing components must pay attention to the component package settings, in order to provide PCB board design parameters

Editing and adjustment of schematic diagram

Inspection of schematic diagrams

Schematic reports

The output of the schematic is thus concluded

3. Loading the component library

Design/add.move Library, click the Install button in the Installed tab to load the library of libraries you need

4. Placing components

Open library file Panel 1.designed/browse library or click the Panel tab system to select the Libraries file panel

Using the library file panel to place the component double-click on the other: Each press the space bar of the keyboard, the component counter-clockwise to 90 degrees, press the X key to flip right and left, press the Y key up and down

After placing the component, you need to set a preliminary setting for each component other than the package symbol

5. Layout

Layout principle: According to the signal flow from left to right, the power line on the top, the ground below

When placing the wire, after clicking the starting point, the use of shortcut keys shift+ Space can be in 90 degrees, 45 degrees, any angle and point-to-point automatic wiring of the 4 wire placement mode between the switch (note must be in English state to make it)

If you need the wire to change direction, click at the turning point, and then you can continue to place the wire on the pin of the next component that needs to be connected together

6. Editing and adjustment of schematic diagram

Mainly refers to component identification and nominal value

1. Automatic Identification of components

Component identification also known as component number

Tools/annotate schematics. , select the identification order (order of processing) to select down then across (first up, down, left to right), in schematic sheets to annotate, you can set the index of the file, and then, Click Update Change list, then, accept changes, then, click Validate Changes, execute changes respectively for the validation modification, to perform the modification, and the final report changes. is to generate a modification report, and finally, it's all closed.

2. Rapid automatic identification of components and recovery of identification

Force Annote all schematics forcibly re-identified by default settings, regardless of previous

Reset ......... ............... Reset all components to an unspecified initial state

Back ......... ................... Reply to ...

Annotate Sch. Quietly can be quickly identified by default

7, the inspection of the schematic diagram

Topology, electrical rules check

1. Compiling parameter settings
