Public Release Notes for Altium Designer - Altium designer 17.1 free



 

You must perform a new clean installation. With both Altium Designer Introduced in Altium Designer 17, ActiveRoute brings a new approach to interactive routing - select the connections and ActiveRoute them to produce high-quality routes, in a fraction of the time it would take to manually route them.

ActiveRoute has strong support for modern design techniques, including differential pairs and room-based width requirements. In this update, ActiveRoute receives a number of valuable enhancements including: additional select options for route or guide creation; a greater width allowance for the route guide; and better feedback in the Messages panel. Complimenting ActiveRoute is powerful Glossing technology, which can be used on any existing routing.

With this update, ActiveRoutes that follow a route guide, are now automatically Glossed. If you need to change anything, click the Back button. If you want to cancel out of the install, click Cancel. Ready to begin the install! The page will change from Ready to Install to Installing Altium Designer and the installation will proceed, with the required files first being downloaded from the secure cloud-based Altium Vault.

Progress of this download is displayed within the Installer itself. Installation commences by downloading the required set of install files. Once the download of files is complete, they will be installed, again with progress displayed in the Installer. After the download is complete, the software is then installed. That's it, installation is complete!

An option is provided to launch Altium Designer when you exit the Installer, enabled by default. Simply click Finish to exit the wizard. That's it. You have installed Altium Designer on your computer, and initially tailored its functionality to suit your design needs. Now it's time to do what you do best and go create that next innovative and hopefully lucrative product! After installing and launching your new version of Altium Designer, the Import Settings dialog will appear, from where you are given the opportunity to import preferences from the most recent previous installation at startup.

Import settings from your previous version's installation. Not only will the preferences be imported, but the user settings will be copied across too - ensuring the new version opens with the same look and feel created in the previous version, even down to the last opened workspace and panel positioning!

If the option to import preferences on initial startup is not taken, don't worry — preferences can be quickly imported, at any time, from within the Preferences dialog.

Simply click the button, at the bottom of the dialog. Now reading version For the latest, read: Offline Installation of the Software for version Each version of the software has its own dedicated installer, and therefore requires a dedicated offline installation package.

Clicking the Advanced button will display the Advanced Settings pop-up window, where proxy-settings can be specified. These settings are only needed for the online installer, if applicable for that installation environment. They can simply be ignored as part of offline installation. Click to expand an area for greater control over sub-functionality available. Platform Extensions offer extended functionality to the core platform. Each platform extension is a dedicated package of core platform functionality that has been 'brought out' of the platform and delivered in the guise of an extension.

By delivering this functionality as an extension, Altium can deliver updates to that core functionality without having to release an update to the entire platform itself. Click to enable functionality at the parent level, to quickly enable all of its child functionality too.

Preferences can be imported from any individually installed version instance of Altium Designer installed builds of AD10 or later , or any of the following pre-AD10 major releases of the software: Summer 09, Winter 09, Summer 08, and Altium Designer 6.

The benefit of importing at initial startup is getting the working environment looking exactly the way it was set up in the previous installation. Importing preferences at a later stage will only 'restore' a subset of this environment.

Note that the offline installation does not check for updates or new extensions, regardless of the status of the Altium Connection setting. As you select and deselect functionality, text at the bottom of the page dynamically updates to reflect the space required for installation. Note that the figure given for the amount of downloaded data does not apply to the Offline Installer. Remember, no matter what decision you take at initial install, you can add or remove features and functionality at any stage after installation.

This puts you in the driving seat as it were, to fully customize your installation in-line with your, possibly ever-changing, design needs. This next page of the Installer allows you to specify the destination folders for the install, in terms of both the Program Files for the software and the Shared Documents that are accessed and used by the software. Specify where the software and associated documents are to be installed.

These locations become especially important when installing multiple instances of Altium Designer. If one or both of these destinations is not currently an empty folder i.

To specify alternate locations, simply type the location directly into the applicable field, or click the folder icon at the right of a field and browse for the required destination folder. The Installer now has all the information it requires to proceed with the installation. If you need to change anything, click the Back button.

If you want to cancel out of the install, click Cancel. Ready to begin the install!
