What a detail description about all steps, without missing or skipping any explanation. Your videos are helping a lot to shape the skills. Thanks Robert!!

TIP: Watch at 1.5x Speed. Also, I am looking for help with subtitles in different languages for this video. Let me know if you are interested, or just feel free to create them - I enabled subtitles contribution on this video. You would help many people. Thanks.

I really like your lessons, you've got a great way of clearly explaining things and a pretty good pace (didn't find a need to speed up)

Thank you so much for these videos. You helped me find all that i was searching for. I'm coming from Eagle, where the mindset and user experience is quite different. I was getting nuts not finding the obvious, now I know where to find it and how to make it more customized for ease of use.

Thanks so much for your videos! It's because of them that I excelled at my first internship as an electrical engineer doing PCB Design!

Nice Video - Something to add - always make sure to check with your PCB house for their particular DRC and confirm price increases vs. "standard" constraints. 0.2mm hole is a pretty common constraint I follow and I almost never get upcharged. If you use cheap PCB fabs like PCBway, OSH, etc you will see an upcharge for tighter constraints. The same goes for custom PCB stack up, if they have the material there is usually no upcharge. But if it is unique or special materials expect to see an upcharge, most people won't care about this part I assume because this is typically just important for high power and RF designs.

Hi Robert, It is a great help for those who are just getting acquainted with this program. How to solve the problem if the connection lines are visible and visibility can be turned on and off, but the moment the part is moved, all the lines disappear and only appear when the part has been moved.

[jayson]

Wow! you are explaining in a proper way that I understand easily.

Hi robert
Thank you for this useful video.
But I have a question?
Do we have a big and complete library for altium component like as kicad?
Altium's components footprint is a big trouble for me.

[meraeed]

can this all be done using autoroute in multilayer 4 or 6 and can it generate via and polygon automatically ?

Thank you Robert! You are amazing and your videos too! You have helped me to become a better PCB designer, not even close to you though. Greetings from México!

hey Robert, thank you for these videos, i really like the way u explain things and answering questions that come to my mind everytime .. merci beaucoup

Hi Robert,
Great job brother.
keep it up.
and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[Heybat]

likes, tahnks! You are the best tutor ever!

[Gurdeep]

Please make a video on global editing and apply special rules

[markworkman]

Thanks Robert. Very Helpful. Question why are the layer change VIAs placed "manually" after the trace is completed? Seems like an additional step?

[chaochang]

Hi, Robert, after compiling a project, if I click the nets with errors, the nets will be hilighted, but when I click the component with errorrs, it will not be hilighted, could the component be hilighted？

Thank you Robert !! Your tutorials helping me to learn Altium. I am a PCB designer and work on Eagle CAD and Gerbtool. I found out that Altium is best. I have a question, if you please answer it will be very helpful for me.

Q. I want to change the annular ring of through hole components, I changed the drill diameter, say 0.8mm to 1.0mm for all components and so the annular ring decreases. I want to increase the pad diameter at once of that 0.8mm components, I don't want to do one by one for all components.

My English is not good, I hope you understand my question.
Thank you Robert for your lectures !!

[Jesis]

Thanks for the video! Could you clarify how do you know where to place components when you say certain coordinates on the PCB, where are those coordinates coming from?
Also, how do you decide which components to place on top and which on the bottom?
