Altium Designer 21: Intelligent Schematic Insights

Due to advances in the format and compilation of the Altium Designer data model, schematic Wire objects have now evolved from a simple graphical object to a more advanced form that can be directly associated with electrical parameters. As a result, the Wire mode of the Properties panel has been updated to provide an expanded set of options and a wider range of information.

The new additions include a General section for net parameter options and information, and a Parameters section that lists the User Parameters, Rules and Net Classes associated with the Wire's assigned net. In its current form the panel's included parameters mirror those of a Parameter Set that has been added to the Net – parameters for the given net may be added, edited and removed in Properties panel when either the attached Parameter Set is selected or one of the net's Wires is selected. Note that the panel also detects when the net associated with a selected Wire has a Differential Pair Directive attached.
