Altium Designer 21

Be a great tool Logged The promise of updates and schedules has come and gone many times. Altium has been a complete let down. I let my subscription go a couple years ago. I still use the software when I need to and it does OK. Altium is the worst company I have ever dealt with. « Last Edit: March 21, 2020, 04:58:05 pm by Joel_l » Logged The following users thanked this post: Dubbie, mars01 The whole approach that Altium had regarding CircuitStudio shows that in the future, if another application will be launched that will let Altium Designer as a secondary product, then those that have an Altium Designer license will be treated the same way. That's not comforting ... if they will start saying something along the lines: "please upgrade to our new and shiny whatever!"It's already done with CircuitStudio, it's not such a leap to see it done to Altium Designer. Therefore the question: Why should one should buy another product from a company that treat some of their user-base so badly? Why should a company invest in Altium Designer with such a bad history that Altium has with CircuitStudio? Logged CircuitStudio is indeed being further developed, and is currently being updated to align more closely with our other products. It is taking some time, but please stay tuned for more updates! As soon as I can confirm features such as Find Similar Objects, I'll let you know.We also really need a keyboard shortcut for select

Altium Concord Pro 1.1Released: 21 August 2020 - Version: 1.1.10 (build 99)Released: 10 April 2020 - Version: 1.1.9 (build 89)Released: 5 February 2020 - Version: 1.1.8 (build 80)Released: 14 January 2020 - Version: 1.1.7 (build 76)Released: 24 October 2019 - Version: 1.1.6 (build 66)Released: 1 August 2019 - Version: 1.1.4 (build 56)Release Notes for Altium Concord Pro 1.1This release sees further beneficial enhancements to Altium Concord Pro and its related technologies. In addition, numerous fixes have been made to resolve issues raised by customers through the AltiumLive Community.While the Altium Concord Pro installer includes automated backup of your existing installation, it is always a good idea to make a pre-update backup of your data yourself – taking a redundancy copy off to one side as it were. This provides additional safety, should any unforeseen technical difficulties arise (see Backing up and Restoring Your Installation). It is advised to test out a new release of Altium Concord Pro on a different machine, before updating your production instance. Use of Virtual Machines can be invaluable in this respect.In addition, please ensure that you refresh your Concord Pro licensing. From the Admin - Licenses page of Concord Pro's browser interface, delete the existing licenses (Altium Concord Pro and Altium Concord Pro CAL) and then add fresh instances back in. This will ensure you have the latest licensing, incorporating any licensing-related feature changes.While connection to Altium Concord Pro 1.1 is possible from Altium Designer 19.0, users are encouraged to update to the latest version of Altium Designer – especially where Server enhancements relate to changes to the user interface within Altium Design.GUI Change This release sees Concord Pro's browser interface given a 'GUI Makeover' - switching to a dark interface that is more in-keeping with the familiar look and feel of Altium Designer. Since Altium Designer and Altium Concord Pro are, in essence, symbiotic work partners, having them similarly themed gives a stronger feeling of consistency.While much of the content of the interface remains the same, you will notice some enhancements to controls here and there, to present an intuitive, sleek interface with which to interact with, and manage your Concord Pro installation.For more information about what Concord Pro's browser interface has to offer, and a great place to get a feeling for what has changed with the GUI, see the page Exploring the Browser-based Interface.New Interface for Managed Projects This release sees the

All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Parent page: Installation, Licensing & ManagementThe Altium Vault installation includes a comprehensive Vault Health Monitor tool that allows Administrators to quickly ascertain and analyze the condition, or ‘health’ of a local Altium Vault. Provided as a stand-alone, independent application, the Health Monitor delivers a visual summary of the state of the host machine, the Vault storage system and the Vault Services.The tool also includes context related hints, information and paths to important locations and log files, which allows Vault Administrators to preemptively detect and resolve any issues that may affect Vault users. Since it operates as an independent entity that queries the Vault and its host system, the Health Monitor will deliver crucial data and information even in the unlikely event that the Vault is not fully functioning.The Health Monitor presents Vault status information via a user-friendly GUI, and in general terms, covers the following critical areas: Vault Environment – the state of the hosts PC’s hardware, such as its hard disks, memory, CPU and the adequacy of its performance. Vault Backend – the state of the Vault server’s supporting database, data file storage, and subversion repository. Vault Services – the state the Vault’s range of services, hosted as IIS Application Pools, such as the Identity, Authorization, Part Catalog and Team Configuration Services, plus many more.Using the ToolIn a default installation of the Altium Vault, the Vault Health Monitor tool can be found in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Altium\Altium Vault\Tools\HealthMonitor folder as the avhealth.exe executable. Note that the folder also includes a simplified command-line tool: avConsoleHealth.exe.When the GUI Heath Monitor tool is run, the program immediately interrogates the Vault and its hosting systems to populate its main Dashboard screen – as selected (by default) in the upper tabs. Select the Refresh button () to retrigger the process and update the screen. The Health Monitor Dashboard GUI provides an instant view of the Vault status and that of its support infrastructure, plus links to more
