In Altium Designer, once everything is set up correctly, it takes only few clicks. A board has many times more then just one variant – board with different memory sizes, different range of input voltages, different resistor settings, … Just generating all the manufacturing information for all this variants takes a lot of time (BOMs for purchasing, BOMs for manufacturing, Assembly drawings, Schematics, …) and then … a hardware change needs to be done and re-generate all the information again … and again. (Just for information full PADS price is around $15000, a cheaper tool like EAGLE costs around $1500)īy using Variants in Altium Designer you will save a LOT of time. Also, Altium Designer costs $5000 what is much less then Cadence Allegro which, as I know, starts somewhere around $25000 plus fees for every year. For advanced boards (e.g high speed designs) the PCB layout process may take a little bit longer as it would take when an another advanced tool such Cadence Allegro is used (a few days or weeks more), BUT you will save time on other things – such component management. You can design ANY board in Altium Designer. – Robert Feranec, FEDEVEL Motherboard, Processor and Microcontroller Board Designġ) Optimum ratio between Price / Performance “If I was thinking to buy a software for Electronic Hardware Design I would choose Altium Designer.” During this period I have used several systems and: I have been designing electronic devices for more than 11 years.
