Nine Dot Connects Nov. 29 Webinar: Spelunking in the Altium Schematic Preferences
November 21, 2017 | Nine Dot ConnectsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join Nine Dot Connects on November 29 for a free webinar, "Spelunking in the Altium Schematic Preferences."
What’s interesting about the preferences in Altium Designer is that they provide options and flexibility, making the tool more customizable for the user. However, many of us do not go spelunking into the preferences because we do not feel we have full command of the tool, or we simply choose to accept the default settings. This defeats the purpose of the preferences.
It dawned on Nine Dot Connects that the preferences are a powerful feature of Altium Designer, but they are generally overlooked. They also realized that trying to show all the preferences in one hour would not allow the topic to be covered adequately. In this webinar, Nine Dot Connects' focus will be specific to the schematic preferences, and will demonstrate and explain all of these schematic preferences.
This free webinar will be held on November 29 at 2:00 pm Eastern.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.
