The layout workspace in Altium Designer 25 has been refactored to support denser components, high-speed signals, and semiconductor-level packaging. Wire Bonding Support and Custom Component Pads Wire Bonding Support and Custom Component Pads Designing
Designing medical devices or aerospace hardware requires a rigid audit trail. The new revision control framework tracks every minor modification to schematic symbols, footprints, and simulation models, letting you roll back to previous iterations with a single click. 5. Intelligent Schematic Capture Updates
These features are available in v24 or earlier (unless backported via hotfix).
Real-world tests conducted by early-access partners show dramatic improvements:
