Altium Designer features a comprehensive set of tools facilitating the display of the objects, layers, and nets that you need right now, in both 2D and 3D modes.

Your View of the PCB – modern PCBs are multi-layer entities that require their clear representation in the PCB editor design space.

In Altium Designer, this type of additional information is detailed on Mechanical Layers. It might be the component courtyards or it might be the 3D component models.

Working with Mechanical Layers – even the simplest board needs design detail beyond the tracks and pads that implement the circuit.

Together, these features are referred to as the Unified Cursor-Snap System.

Working with the Cursor-Snap System – the PCB editor is a grid-based design environment - design objects are placed on what is referred to as the placement, or snap grid. As well as the snap grid, the software includes a number of additional snap features, designed to help you accurately position and align design objects.Colors & Visibility Control – the PCB editor can display the PCB document in 2D or 3D modes with definitions for layers, 3D colors, visibility and other items, known as view configurations, available from the View Configuration panel.To learn more about other features for the configuration of the PCB environment, refer to the following pages: Many aspects of the PCB environment setup are configured through the Properties panel in its Board mode described below. It is a good idea to configure the PCB by defining the origin, units, grid size, as well as the color display and visibility of the required layers. Use the File » New » PCB command to create a new PCB document. A logical step after creating and checking the schematic document is creating and designing the PCB.
