Altium Room Definition Schematic

When you transfer a design from the schematic editor to the pcb editor the components from each sheet are clustered in a pcb placement room if room creation is enabled in the project options.

Altium room definition schematic.

A room is a primitive design object. Rectangular or polygon type rooms can be placed on either the top or bottom layer of the board and can either be placed empty associating components at a later stage or placed around components in the design automatically associating them to the room. However design is much more than just having easy access to design. A room is a primitive design object.

If you attempt to move the room when it has been locked a warning dialog will appear asking whether you wish to go ahead with the move. Rectangular or polygon type rooms can be placed on either the top or bottom layer of the board and can either be placed empty associating components at a later stage or placed around components in the design automatically associating them to the room. Default constraints for the room definition rule. The altium online documentation system has a step by step tutorial of a simple design from beginning to end.

For example a click in the projects panel opens a schematic sheet another click opens the pcb and another click opens the outputjob file showing all the outputs you need to generate from the completed board. The altium community hosts several online videos showing schematic features here. Working with schematics in altium designer presentation. Room locked allows you to lock the room in its current position within the design preventing accidental movement either manually or by the autoplacers.

As a result users often proceed with simple flat schematic designs without giving a second thought to project organization. It is a region that assists in the placement of components. It is a region that assists in the placement of components. If the project is a multi channel design and the source and destination channels are members of the same channel class then format copying will be applied to the.

Destination room this field contains the name of the destination room representing the channel from the schematic that the copied placement and routing will be applied to.
