The subsequent pages of the Wizard change depending upon the file type you selected.

See the Interfacing to EDA Design Tools section below for an overview of types of design files that can be imported using the Import Wizard.Ĭlick Get More Importers to open the Extensions and Updates page from where you can add additional extensions if needed. Use this page of the Wizard to select the types of files you want to import. Click Finish to close the Import Wizard. This option is available only on the final page of the Wizard.Click Next to navigate to the next screen.Click Back to navigate to the previous screen.Click Cancel to close the Import Wizard.The Import Wizard ( File » Import Wizard) will quickly and easily convert your design files from other vendors to Altium Designer files. The Wizard walks you through the import process, handling both the schematic and PCB parts of the project, as well as managing the relationship between them. Alternatively, export actions are performed via the File » Export menu, in the appropriate editor. Using the Wizard allows related files, such as design files and their libraries, to be batch imported.Įxport outputs can be created by adding the required outputs in an Outputjob file (from the Edit » Add Export Outputs sub-menus or from the menus associated with the  control, at the bottom of the Export Outputs region, in the main job configuration window) followed by generating the outputs from the file or as part of the Project Release process. Also, many of the importers can be accessed via the Import Wizard. Import actions are performed via the File » Import command. That can either be done by reading/writing the design data from/to a different file format, or directly transferring data via software API's. Interfacing to another design environment is all about transferring design data. Whatever the reason, it's likely that one day you'll need to be able to interface to another design tool. Perhaps you need to interface to another design and analysis platform to perform a power simulation, or perhaps you need to import an older design that was developed in another design environment. Altium's design software is probably just one of many engineering design environments that you work with, or need to interface to.
