Tackling your design documentation woes... - Mini Webinar

The path to consistent, simple, push-button design documentation

The topic in this mini-webinar is developing a process flow that can make design documentation woes a thing of the past.

In this webinar, the first in a series of discussions on process management, I'll discuss a range of techniques for taking the guesswork out of creating your design documentation.

We'll look at setting up a solid base of files to get everyone started out on the right foot. We'll look at ways to produce PCB fabrication and assembly notes faster and more consistently than you might have thought possible. Finally, we'll look at push-button output generation using output generators that really do take the guesswork out of publishing your fabrication and assembly documentation.

Live-linking schematic components to supplier data - Mini Webinar

The drudgery of sourcing the right parts for a design, or ensuring the parts available from the ‘company library’ are suitable, can leave you frazzled, dazed, and numb.

It may be easy to source the more obvious parts (ICs and major semiconductors) but it can still take hours or days for a purchasing officer to wade through the BOM in a feedback loop with the design team, looking for all the smaller, seemingly insignificant parts.

Altium Designer solves this problem by providing built-in ability to link component data sheets and reference information right in the schematic symbols. It has a unique and powerful supplier search tool that, once you've found the components you need, gives you the ability to directly call up the order codes, pricing and even supply multiples, right in the BOM and other reports.

Searching for the right parts should be quick and easy - now it is!
