Altium Designer software features
1. Powerful design rule drive
Design rules allow you to define design requirements that collectively cover all aspects of the design.
2. Intelligent component placement
Use the intuitive alignment system in Altium Designer to quickly snap objects into alignment with the boundaries or pads of nearby objects. Push components into tight spaces while adhering to your design rules.
3. Interactive wiring
Using Altium Designer's advanced routing engine creates the highest quality PCB layouts in a fraction of the time, including several powerful routing options such as Wrap, Push, Wrap and Push, Ignore Obstacles, and Differential Pair Routing.
4. Native 3D PCB design
Use the advanced 3D engine in Altium Designer to clearly visualize and interact with your designs in real-time in native 3D.
5. High-speed design
Quickly create and design complex high-speed signal classes for specific applications and easily optimize your critical signals using your preferred memory topology.

How to use Altium Designer
First, we open the Altium Designer software. Create a project file, and then create a schematic file under this project file.
Find the menu bar on the right to add components. Once found, double-click to drag the component to the editing area.
If the component you are looking for is not in the library, then import other component libraries that have been prepared in advance.
After importing, find the line drawing icon in the menu bar above to draw the line.
After you have finished drawing, you need to save it. Find File in the upper left.
After you find it, you need to save the project file first, and then save the schematic file. That's it.
