SUPPORT FOR FLEX AND RIGID-FLEX DESIGN A rigid-flex circuit combines the processing capabilities of a rigid circuit with the design versatility of a flexible one. The bulk of the components are placed on rigid circuits, which are then connected by flexible circuits that can be twisted, bent, and folded into small or unconventional places. Altium Designer now supports electronics design using these rigid-flex circuits, which opens the door to a variety of new innovations. It allows for smaller packaging of electronics, which in turn leads to lower cost of materials and production, as well as increased durability. Enhanced Layer Stack Management Our software helps you through the entire project life-cycle, helping you manage, revise, and reuse your design files safely and reliably. You can even connect your organization’s project and supply chain management systems with Altium Designer. VAULT CONTENT CART With Altium Designer 14 and the upcoming Altium Vault release, data can be reliably copied from one Altium Vault directly to another. Not only can it be added to or otherwise modified, but basic conversions for footprint layer sets and symbol presentation can be automatically made to suit your organization's standards. BOARD DESIGN ENHANCEMENTS Altium Designer 14 includes a number of requested enhancements to our board design technologies. With our new differential pair routing tool, impedance is consistently maintained when the trace gap is changed. Via Stitching has been significantly improved to give neat results and greater control.
