Hi Guys,
We have Altium designer 2011. We have just recently invested in Solid works electrical to manufacture large control panels, etc.
In Solid works electrical. Parts consist of symbols like switches, contactors, relays, etc. These symbols have electrical connection points like the...
Hi Chris,
Yes I was thinking along the same lines as that. Check the gerber files when they are generated and see what is there. Thanks for the feedback/.

Thanks for the feedback Chris. It does seem unusal that you can see it in the PCB editor screen and then it disappears on the 3D visualisation. Maybe when the PCB is manufactured it will be put in but I always sort of assume that the 3D view is the best representation of the finished PCB...
Hello,
I'm currently working with Altium Designer 10. I have a 6 layer PCB. On the 2 power planes I would like to place some copper text. I can place the text within a polygon pour cutout and its visible on the pcb editor. But when I switch to the 3D view I see that the polygon pour cutout...
Yes I've checked the design rules and all appears OK. I am using the two different footprints in the same PCB design.
I can sort of understand why it says the pads are short circuit as the 2 pads are individual primitives that have the same name but are touching in the footprint design. So...
Hi,
I created a footprint In Altium Designer Summer 09. In the footprint i created an 'L' shape using 2 pads, the 2 pads are touching each other with a measured gap of 0mm.
I gave the 2 pads the same designator and used it in my PCB design.
When i run the design rule check it reports the 2...
