Tutorial - A Complete Design Walkthrough with Requirements Portal
The goal of this tutorial is to cover the most basic functionalities of Requirements Portal. The tutorial will take you from an empty Requirements Portal instance to a set of requirements living inside a real PCB project – a Flight Management Unit of a Drone. This tutorial is planned as a three-part series. At this time, only Part 1 is available. Parts 2 and 3 are currently in development and…

Commenting
Requirements Portal supports commenting within your requirement projects. A comment is a user-added note that is assigned to a specific requirement, specification, section, V&V activity, or block and may be replied to by other users. Comments promote collaboration between users without altering the shared data itself, because comments are stored by the Workspace independently of that data. You…

Preparing Autodesk Fusion for CoDesign
Altium CoDesigner is an interface for transferring printed circuit board designs between the ECAD and MCAD design domains. Once the CoDesigner add-in has been added to your MCAD software, CoDesigner can pass design changes back and forth. Design changes are passed through an Altium Workspace, which acts as a bridge between the ECAD and MCAD domains. ► Check the version compatibility between your…
