Altium Question
I am trying out Altium Designer Summer 09 to see if I want to switch from Eagle.
I have look at many of the training videos on Altium's site and read some of the docs. So far I really like the interface but one thing that that I would potentially like to change is having to perform an ECO to update the PCB if I make a change in the schematic.
In Eagle if you make a change on the schematic the PCB automatically reflects that change but in Altium you have to tell it to update the PCB. I'm sure there is a good reason but it is strange to me.
Can someone tell me why it is good to have to tell Altium to perform the update?
And is there a way to turn that off and have it update automatically?
Thanks,
Eric
