    PCIe 1x card template for Altium

    Hi guys, maybe this will help you. You can go to Altium Content and download a lot of templates, including PCIE, PC104, COM Express .... I made a short video about it...

    Altium, export image from 3D

    In the case you would like to export your 3D PCB to 3D PDF, have a look here (basically, save your PCB as step, import to DesignSpark - this is a free software - and save as pdf). For detailed steps, watch this video...

    Info nelp needed for routing pcb for a 625 BGA, 0.8 mm Pitch (Freescale i.MX6)

    You have probably already done the layout, but if anyone else is looking to solve the same problem, you may want to have a look at https://www.imx6rex.com/ - it is an Altium project and the iMX6 PCB can be dowloaded. Hope it helps :)

    Altium footprint status?

    I normally generate BOM, check the column with footprints and create the missing ones.

    newbie question: Altium 10 modifying available schematic part

    when you are opening intlib, you have an option to extract SchLib and PCBlib - use this. It will create Schlib and Pcblib from the intlib

    newbie question: Altium 10 modifying available schematic part

    What exactly didn't work? You either copy whole Component (go to the library window which list components, right click, Copy, go to the your library, right click on the window which list components in your library, right click and Paste) or you copy just Schematic symbol itself (go to the...

    [SOLVED] newbie: Altium 10 Sch Custom part question

    the dot means - manual designator placement is on - and that is reason why designator appears too far from the compoenent (click on the component and see if Property "Autoposition" is checked ON)

    Placing a single header (A whole) in Altium

    I attached Altium video tutorial in my previous post. Have a look and see how you can create the 1 pin connector - it's simple. I believe the video will answer some other your questions. You don't need to care about Solder mask. If footprints are created properly, they include solder mask...

    Placing a single header (A whole) in Altium

    Hi Sean, you have answered your question: "how can I place a one whole (just think it as a one pin header)" .... add one pin header. You can check the Axial 0.3 footprint in footprint library, or print the PCB in 1:1 scale and compare it with your real resistors. If you have problems to create...

    Layer stack up in PCB..

    I don't think it is possible to calculate number of layers, it depends on too many factors as mentioned above - inlcuding component placement, pinout and PCB size (how would you define these in mathematical models?). I normally start with higher number of layers and try to use as few as I can...
