Altium

The following instructions are intended to make it easier to get started with Altium; therefore helpful tips, tricks, and useful tutorials are referred to. It is also shown how to create a new project in the style of the already existing ones or how to deal with the UltraZohm Altium part library. Within the individual chapters, the respective procedure is clarified by screenshots and explanations.

This documentation is not, and is in no way intended to be, a complete documentation for Altium. Therefore the Altium documentation is proposed.
