Something that used to bug me was ALWAYS hitting that stupid clear button, I found SHIFT + C will clear things as well (PCB + SCH).

I like working with the entire screen in Layout mode so I use ALT + F5, it’s a lot easier to see what’s going on.

Something that I’m sure a lot of people have figured out but is worth mentioning is that when your trying to focus on a pad or a part, and want Altium to select that pad, and not have to try and align the pins is by making sure the correct layer is selected, then Altium will select that pad.

When I am working with high speed signals and required to measure segments I use both the “From-To Editor” in PCB and “Shift clicking” all relevant segments, saving it to a memory with CTRL + # (recall with ALT + #) and pressing “R, S” to see the segment length. This is useful for matching up segments of a Differential signal, or one portion of a branch of a tree structure (like a length matched design for four or eight DDR2 chips).

If Altium freaks out and crashes and then continues to DLL out even when you start up a new session hold CTRL when starting it up and then the default workspace won’t be loaded.

PCB List is your friend, sometimes a component or trace will be way out of view on a layout and you can’t access it. I found that finding it with the PCB list is a good way to find, and delete it.

Beutiful hint sheet, thanks!
Everyone has so many questions for you… Are you sure you don’t want to become a professional Altium instructor!?

I have created a schemtaic FPGA design. The problem that I face is that I used the memory instrument to read intel hex file of 2048 bytes (1024 word). When I configure the memory to 16 bit word length and 1024 word, Altium designer produce an error saying its too small for the hex file. And when I make the memory 2048 X 16, I can read the intel hex but it leave 32 zeros after each 32 bytes, in addition, the address should be 11 bits and I have only ten.

Can any one help me on reading the intel hex file correctly based on 16 bits?

With thanks
Regards

I’ve created a schematic/footprint library for a component. When I make a schematic and then import it to the pcb, it shows the footprint, but it doesn’t show the wires that were placed in the schematic file so I can’t put traces to the pins of my footprint. what could be causing this? Thanks for any help.
