Select Project » Project Options to open the dialog. Configuring the Comparator Optionsĭialog page: Options for PCB Project, Comparator tabĮxactly what schematic and PCB data gets compared, is configured in the Comparator tab of the Options for PCB Project dialog. As well as the component and connective data, the synchronization process also ensures that other design constraints such as net classes, component classes and design rules, are also in sync. The synchronization process ensures that the component and connective data on the schematic, matches the component and connective data on the PCB. Refer to the Performing a Direct Update section to learn more about this approach. Single-direction synchronization, using the Design » Update PCB, or the Design » Update Schematic commands.Refer to the Finding Differences section to learn more about this approach. Bi-directional synchronization, where differences can be updated in both directions simultaneously, using the Project » Show Differences command (as shown above).There are two approaches to performing a synchronization: These are then applied, bringing the two sides of the design back in to sync. The designer decides which side should change to resolve the differences, and a set of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) is created. The software uses a comparator engine to compare all aspects of the design, detailing the output as a list of differences. The synchronization process detects and resolves the schematic and PCB differences.ĭesign synchronization is performed directly between the schematic and PCB editors, there is no intermediate, netlist-like document used. Altium Designer includes powerful design synchronization capabilities that simplify the task of keeping the design synchronized, allowing the designer to keep their focus on the creative aspects of the design process. Whether you're transferring a captured design to a new PCB for the first time, or making changes to an existing design on either the schematic or PCB side, you need some way to keep the two sides in-sync.
