From Idea to Manufacture - Driving a PCB Design through
Altium Designer
Welcome to the world of electronic product development in Altium's world-class electronic design software. This
tutorial will help you get started by taking you through the entire process of designing a simple PCB - from idea to
output files. If you are new to Altium software, it is worth reading the Exploring Altium Designer page to learn more
about the interface, information on how to use panels, and an overview of managing design documents.
The Design
The design for which you will be creating the schematic and designing a printed circuit board (PCB) is a simple
astable multivibrator. The circuit is shown below; it uses two general purpose NPN transistors configured as a self-
running astable multivibrator.
Circuit for the multivibrator.
You're ready to begin capturing (drawing) the schematic. The first step is to create a PCB project.

Creating a New PCB Project
In Altium's electronic design software, a PCB project is the set of design documents (files) required to specify and
manufacture a printed circuit board. The project file, for example,Multivibrator.PrjPCBis an ASCII file that lists the
documents in the projectas well as other project-level settings, such as the required electrical rule checks, project
preferences, and project outputs, such as print and CAM settings.
A new project is created by running the File » New » Project commandto open the Create Project dialog.
Adding a Schematic to the Project
The next step is to add a new schematic sheet to the project.
Creating a new project
As well as Local Projects, The
Create Project
dialog can be used to create a Version Controlled project, or a
managed project that is stored in a managed content server. Use the links to learn more about these types of
projects.

Add a schematic sheet to the project, name and save the schematic, and save the project.
Setting the Document Options
Panel page:
Schematic Document Options
Before you start drawing your circuit, it's good to set up the appropriate document options, including the Sheet
Size, and the Snap and Visible grids.
Adding a schematic
When the blank schematic sheet opens, you will notice that the workspace changes. The menu bar includes
new items and a bar with buttons becomes visible - you are now in the Schematic Editor. Each editor presents
its own set of menus and panels and supports its own set of shortcut keys.
An entire set of floating panelscan be closed using the icon at the top right of the panel, and an individual
panel can be closed by right-clicking on its name. When needed, a panel can be reopened via the
button at the bottom right of the application. Alternatively, press the F4 shortcut to hide/display all floating
panels.

Document options are configured for each schematic sheet, set the sheet size as required.

Accessing the Components
Related article:
More about Components and Libraries
The real-world component that gets mounted on the board is represented as a schematic symbol during design
capture, and as a PCB footprint for board design.
Components can be:
Placed directly from the
Manufacturer Part Search
panel. This panel gives you instant and up-to-date access to a
powerful component search and aggregation system, detailing millions of components from thousands of
manufacturers, each with real-time supply chain information. Many of the components are design-ready,
complete with a symbol and a footprint model;these parts will include the icon in the panel.
Created in and placed from local file libraries, or your company's Managed Content Server. These components
are searched for and placed through the
Components
panel. More on this approach in the Working with Your
Own Components section below.
Searching for New Parts
Main article:
Manufacturer Part Search panel
Your go-to location to find new components is the
Manufacturer Part Search
panel. To open the
Manufacturer Part
Search
panel, click the button at the bottom right of the application and select Manufacturer Part Search
from the menu. Panels that are currently visible are marked with a check in the menu.
As well as the technique described in the collapsible section below, the
Document Options
properties can also
be accessed by double-clicking in the sheet border.
Environment options, such as the cursor type, selection color and autopan behavior, are configured in the
Preferences dialog (Tools » Preferences).
Configuring the Document Options
For this tutorial, all of the parts will be sourced from the
Manufacturer Part Search
panel.
Throughout the tutorial, the terms
component
and
part
are both used to describe the design components
you will be placing and wiring.
