Designing with Assembly Variants

Altium Designer

| Created: July 26, 2021

Did you know: if you’re creating a product with different options or capabilities, there’s no reason to create a whole new version of your PCB project! Variants can offer you the ability to quickly layer different options for single components on the same source file. Join us to learn best practices and get into the details about setting up variants in your designs and speeding up your project development.

In this webinar we’ll cover:

Creating Assembly Variants
Working with assembly variants in the schematic editor
