This is important for maintaining security and access level specificity. Using a server not only provides a centralized storage location for the files but also has a well structured administrative control architecture in place. Whether it is through schematic organization, footprints, or design templates - having a database of previously used board designs can speed up the process for your whole team.Īlthough, the software Altium Designer provides is flexible enough to store layout templates in any location project templates are typically located on a managed server, such as the Altium Vault ®. Templates may be used as is or they can be altered to accommodate specific requirements for your design, similar to reusing circuits for multi-channel design.Īs in the case of multi-channel design, project example templates must be easily accessible to engineers, PCB designers, and other team or organization members to be effective. When you have the circuit board already made, the job might be done easier. Your board doesn’t always have to be that strenuous process of generation through PCB layout. Project templates (sometimes called layout template or design template) are simply designs that have been previously created and are used to lessen the work necessary to design similar PCBs, PCB modules or individual components. In Altium Designer ®, this basic concept has been expanded, but before looking at the many advantages of using project templates for PCB design let’s define them further and see how to create them. At the most basic, project example templates are effectively circuit “maps” that were designed previously that you can confidently use as a basis for your new design. It is virtually impossible to eliminate these mistarts from the process however, by using project templates we can minimize them. PCB design is a creative process that can be filled with some trial and error. The knowledge that someone before us has traversed a path gives us confidence in our own arrival. Although, this is true another creation that deserves at least as much credit for giving most of us the confidence to branch out from our familiar surroundings is the map. The domestication of horses, inventing the wheel and developing the combustion engine are tremendous milestones that we laud for enabling us to get around more efficiently and explore new places.
