PCB Project Design Item – the snapshot of the design, including all source documents.Release data is stored in revisions of the relevant project-related Item in the target Workspace: When a particular project is released, a snapshot of the design source is taken and archived along with any generated output – which represents a tangible product that is made from that design project and sold by the company.

The board design release process is automated, enabling you to release your board design projects without the risks associated with manual release procedures. If only the release process were more robust.Īltium Designer answers this call by providing powerful, high-integrity board design release management. But imagine those 'trusty' outputs have been overwritten, or become corrupt somehow. Just imagine needing to go back and release a previous revision of your product, only to find that all required source design files were never included, as a snapshot, with that particular release! That's OK, just get the generated output files from the relevant folder(s) for that release – trusty Gerbers and any additional fabrication and assembly information, that's all that's really needed anyway. Without a regimented and fundamentally-sound release process, tracking an ever-maturing product over time can be fraught with any number of pitfalls. Once a design is considered ready for flight into the wider world, it needs to be released – a process that can often be underestimated.
