Its a classic example of software developers going mad just because they can!, allocate big buffers yada yada.īecause the new PC these days have more resources does not mean the developers can abuse that by being LAZY and no longer optimize the code for responsiveness and efficiency and HOPE that users will keep buying the best and fastest hardware to get the software to still run at half the speed that 99SE did with the same job loaded. The same situation exist for gold immersion!, how we can set masks and order the FAB to do gold immersion on some pads instead of hot air soldering layer? Which layer we must set? It is the same process which you may take for FID! the difference is that FID is a pad but logo is not! Suppose that you are asked to put a company logo on top-layer and open the mask sets for it: printing logo on CU.
#ALTIUM DESIGNER 15 STUCK AT LAUNCH UPDATE#
In this project, for just one change, AD reports more mismatch even for unchanged and placed components, and in update process, remove and add the same component again! In order to keep placed component, always we do a update process to assign a uniqe ID for new component and transfer it to PCB. The problem is at CEO step, suppose that your fist annotation and placement was done(after 15min anyway), and now you have one new component(small resistor). , phases same as what you told and same as what we done for other previous succesful AD project. I am doing all project creation, annotation. The reason is that it lacks the scope of tools, and video display options, available in Altium Designer. However, it will run on an older, slower, computer than Altium Designer requires. In my opinion, it is a more difficult tool tool to use. It is the UID that allows that degree of integration. There is even a toggle function that automatically cross-selects an object in the schematic editor if it is selected on the PCB, and vice versa. The schematic and PCB editors in Altium Designer are tightly integrated. There is a tool on the menu for resyncronizing the UID's (Project>Component Links). Those UID's must be kept syncronized, or there is no way for the software to know how the schematic and PCB are related to one another. Altium Designer uses a unique identifier code (UID) to link the components on the PCB with the symbols in the schematic. If you are seeing a 15min delay on reannotation and coupling the information back to the schematic, the two documents must be out of syncronization. If you change the annotation on the PCB, the changes have to be passed back to the schematic. The process of importing the design to the PCB is done via an Engineering Change Order (ECO) dialog that gives you the opportunity to accept or reject what is sent to the board. Once the schematic has been complied, you import the result into the PCB. That is Altium's word for doing an electrical rules check, and generating the netlist. Once the schematic is complete, you compile it. In Altium Designer, as in most EDA packages, everything is driven from the schematic. You need to understand how the process works in any EDA software. You just need a clean computer with enough power to get the best out of it.

Altium Designer can and has been used for boards much larger than yours. There are more tips, but these will get you started. Nvidia's Desktop Manager is known to cause problems with CAD software. Next - Make sure you don't have other conflicting software running in the background.
#ALTIUM DESIGNER 15 STUCK AT LAUNCH DRIVERS#
Make sure you have current drivers installed for your video card. If you have one with DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3 support, the graphics can run much faster than with just plain GDI video. It needs a really good graphics card to work well. Next - Altium Designer is a graphics intensive software. You just don't get green markers everywhere. Note that turning off online checking doesn't turn off the design rules. In the early stages of design it is foolish to force the software to check every move and every placement. Online checking just places markers where it detects a rule violation. Right click in the right side of the dialog, and turn off online checking.

Next - In Altium Designer, go to Tools>Design Rule Check>Rules to Check. Some virus checkers slow the operation of graphics intensive CAD programs like Altium because they check every file access. I suspect your speed problem is a result of the way you have your computer and the PCB Editor set up.įirst - if you have a real-time virus checker running in the background, turn it off better still, unload it.
