Generate clear and accurate printed circuit board (PCB) designs with Altium. This course shows how use Altium to generate PCB designs, including PCB schematics and layouts. Instructor Justin Flett helps you find your way around the Altium interface and use all of the built-in tools, including the millions of components and symbols that come with Altium libraries, to build a PCB project from the ground up.
Learn how to place components, wire the schematic, and add annotations with a single click. Find out how to refine your design with layers, grids and units; edit the board shape; and place the footprints that will connect your components to the board. Justin wraps up with a look at creating custom footprints and schematics to store and reuse in your projects, and shows how to generate 3D views and industry-standard final output and reports.

Course Transcript - Instructor Libraries are a critical aspect of Altium Designer. So a library is really any pre-built component and in Altium we're going to be using pre-built electronics components very often throughout our project.
So just take a look at some of our libraries and just navigate over to my righthand side here and should be able to find my Libraries panel. And this will show me some of the currently installed libraries on my specific machine. Each machine could be different depending on which company you may be working for they'll probably have some of their own custom libraries and so on. And just the default install I should be able to see two main libraries, miscellaneous devices and miscellaneous connectors just to start with.
So let's take a look at miscellaneous devices here. And what I have here is just a whole number of different components and I can navigate through these here and I get a nice visual preview of the schematic representation as well as the PCB footprint of. Practice while you learn with exercise files.
