Advanced MCAD CoDesigner

The Advanced MCAD CoDesigner app delivers advanced functionality for ECAD-MCAD CoDesign between Altium Designer and supported MCAD design tools (Autodesk Fusion®, Autodesk Inventor®, Dassault Systemes SOLIDWORKS®, PTC Creo Parametric®)^*, far beyond that of the free, basic bidirectional communications between the ECAD and MCAD^** design domains. CoDesigner can pass design changes, via an associated panel^***, back and forth through an Altium Workspace, which acts as a bridge between the ECAD and MCAD domains. The advantage of passing design changes through a Workspace is that the update process becomes stateless. This means each side can continue to work independently, without worrying about where the other team is up to in the design process.
 

Advanced features provided by the app include: Advanced copper geometry, synchronization of keepouts and rooms, rigid-flex board synchronization, native component linkage, enclosure exchange, advanced history, synchronization of a multi-board assembly and synchronization of a harness design. Note that not all features are supported across all supported MCAD tools (refer to documentation for more information).

Assembly Assistant

The Assembly Assistant app provides a browser-based project assembly tool that is based on advanced interaction between the project's detailed BOM data and its 2D/3D assembly view. By bringing these two related sources of assembly data together, the Assembly Assistant delivers an integrated tool that allows assemblers to check and work through the board assembly process from one convenient location. For those checking a board's assembly prior to manufacture or engaged in the process of manually assembling boards (say, for prototypes or a short run), the Assembly tool provides the required set of graphical and component part information for stepping through the assembly process. This avoids the need for traditional, and potentially error-prone, assembly processes such as manually checking between assembly and BOM printout sheets.

BOM Portal

The BOM Portal app is an advanced tool for creating and managing Bill of Materials item listings for review and procurement purposes. Drawing on Altium's comprehensive manufacturer part and supplier data resources, the application augments imported BOM data with live, detailed parts availability information and qualitatively rated alternative part suggestions. Features are included for resolving issues in the BOM listing, determining your preferred supply chain options, including additional information, specifying the BOM Lifecycle state, and much more. As an independent BOM analysis tool, the BOM Portal application allows Altium 365 users to perform design reviews and procurement data updates without requiring access to design-side software. The result is a fully ratified and up-to-date BOM document ready to be passed to the manufacturing stage.
 

In addition, the BOM Portal’s Consolidated BOM mode allows you to create a procurement-orientated BOM document from multiple engineering BOMs, which unifies the parts requirements for delivering a complete product – typically based on multiple PCBs, modules or functional sub-sections. It replaces the need to aggregate multiple BOM lists through spreadsheets or other manual means while calculating parts quantities for favorable supplier price breaks, rationalizing equivalent component choices, and generating Purchase Orders or RFQs (Request For Quote).

Configurable Workflows

The Configurable Workflows app delivers support for process-based Workflows, which tightly guide your organization's designers through typical, everyday design processes. These include requesting new component parts, performing project-related activities (such as design reviews or publishing to a PLM system) and creation of new projects in the connected Workspace. Predefined process workflows are included with a Workspace, with some activated for use out-of-the-box, and others supplied as sample 'templates'. Use these, modify them, or create your own custom process to suit the specific needs of your company. A powerful Process Workflow Editor is also included, providing the flexibility for you to build processes with workflows that can be as simple, or as complex as needed, and in-line with your company's requirements.

Secure Collaboration

The Secure Collaboration package (often referred to as the Organizational Security Package) provides advanced access controls and compliance tools to protect and control information flow to and from the Altium 365 platform. Package features include:
 

• A single Altium 365 Workspace is included if one does not already exist for your organization. As part of the package, you can create additional Workspaces if needed.

• The ability to authenticate your users by leveraging existing Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) infrastructure, and control network access through IP whitelisting (Inbound Traffic Control), allowing only trusted IP addresses to connect to the platform.

• The ability to access an Events Log, which is a sequential list of notable Data and User events that have occurred in an Altium 365 Workspace. It provides a single point of access for administrators to monitor and audit key Workspace activity for data governance purposes. The Events Log data can be exported/transferred to a suitable SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system for compliance and auditing purposes.

• Access to an Advanced Controls page of the Company Dashboard, allowing administrators to specify Workspace and Personal Space user access policies for the organization’s Altium 365 platform. The available options can be configured to allow multiple Workspace creation (or prevention) and to control the file sharing/uploading capabilities of the Personal Spaces available to company members, providing increased data security through the prevention of inadvertent file-sharing or external exposure.

• Integration with Jira (bundling of the Jira Integration app) - enabling bidirectional data synchronization between Atlassian Jira^® issues and Altium 365 Workspace Tasks.
