Altium's Manufacturing Solutions Guide to Manufacturing with Altium Manufacturing Documentation

Technical Documentation Preparing Manufacturing Data with Output Jobs A large variety of outputs can be generated for and from a PCB design and each output type has its own settings. The best way to manage this multitude of outputs is to use an Output Job file, or 'OutJob' as it is more commonly known. An OutJob is a pre-configured set of outputs. Each output is configured with its own settings and its own output format, for example, output to a file or to a…

To do this, you need to generate a variety of output…

Technical Documentation Output Job Editor Shortcuts The following shortcut keys are specific to the Ouput Job Editor. For general information regarding shortcut keys - including access and editing, general Altium environment shortcuts, and accelerator keys - see Altium Designer Shortcut Keys. When looking at the shortcut key listings, keep in mind the following: When referring to shortcuts, use of the plus (+) symbol denotes holding multiple keys…

Technical Documentation Preparing PostProcess Outputs The PostProcess output type allows non-native Altium Designer file types to be included as part of the output. It copies the targeted files from within the project directory structure, to the folder specified in the configured Folder Structure output container. PostProcess outputs can be added to the active Output Job file from the menu of the [Add New PostProcess Output] control in the…

Technical Documentation Preparing Printed Data Print-based output for your PCB project in Altium Designer is available through creating a output job configuration file (*.OutJob). When you create a job output there is a range of manufacturing documentation available for output including common two-dimensional PCB printouts, such as a composite drawings and schematic drawings. 2D print output is configured in the PCB Printout Properties dialog…

Technical Documentation Preparing a 3D PCB Video Parent page: More about Outputs In Altium Designer, the ability to take a snapshot of your PCB as a 3D printout provides a quick and easy way to share the look of the finished product with others, prior to physical production of the board. However, there's always something lacking when it comes to a single 3D print. You inevitably want to tilt the board, rotate it, or flip it between component…

Technical Documentation Preparing a PDF3D File Altium Designer users have long enjoyed the ability to interactively view PCB designs in fully rendered 3D, which provides a unique insight into the real structure of the board design, its components and associated mechanical parts. There are significant advantages in being able to bring this 3D capability to those outside the immediate design team, such as fabrication and assembly houses, and…

Technical Documentation Preparing a BOM in the Report Manager The Bill of Materials, or BOM, is a key ingredient of the data set generated from a board design project. This report-type document provides a listing of all components required to build the product, including the bare board, which is essentially the base 'component' upon which all other parts are assembled. The BOM acts as a guide for what needs to be procured to build the product as designed…

Technical Documentation Preparing Fabrication Data Parent page: Streamlining Generation of Manufacturing Data with Output Jobs A wide range of PCB design fabrication file formats is available for both individual and output job file generation, including: Gerber RS-274X and Gerber X2 ODB++ IPC-2581 NC Drill Board Stack Report Printed-based outputs: Composite Drill Drawings, Drill Drawing/Guides, Final Artwork Prints, Power-Plane Prints, Solder…
