Altium Designer Preferences Setting

Altium Designer is one of the most widely used PCB layout software. It is popular among PCB designers due to some features, like schematic capture, 3D PCB design, FPGA development and release/data management.

But sometimes 三德盈 Electronic may receive some gerber files with issues that generated from Altium Designer, and after 三德盈 engineers’ checking, the problem might be on the preferences settings of Altium Designer software. Here is some information of Altium Designer preferences that maybe helpful for to set your software as required.

Altium Designer provides a central location from where you can set up various preferences across different functional areas of the software. These are global system settings that apply across projects and relevant documents.

• Ability to save preferences to, and load preferences from, a DXP Preferences file (*.DXPPrf).
• Ability to set the options and controls on the active child preferences page, or all pages, back to their defaults.
