buy altium designer
Hi all,
I am seriously considering buying Altium Designer to design PCBs at my company. Before we splash out a lot of money, I would like to know how other people feel about this package.
We will mostly be designing PIC and ARM microcontroller, motor driver and sensor networks. Highest speeds would be the 100MHz EtherCAT bus.
The boards will be used in robotics applications (www.shadowrobot.com). In particular I am very keen on the 3D ability to check that my design fits inside its housing. In our industry, space is extremely tight, so this is essential to us.
I would love to hear from anyone who uses Altium regularly. Do you enjoy using it? Does it get the job done? Would you rather be using something else?
Many thanks
Hugo Elias
