52:48 if double clicking doesn't work for you try Design->Edit Board Shape. Or try using the shortcut of double pressing d after selecting board.
thanks !!
u're my hero, dude!
Thank for your valuable comment ❤
Hello... What to do if in design option instead of rules I have rule wizard..... Hello me
@@hiriharanvm5568 sorry I'm not getting what your trouble is. can you explain it in a better way!?
Ok, got it? Now go rout a 200 pin BGA and a gbps memory rail ;D
What a gem of a tutorial! I've been struggling trying to sort out Altium 22 from documentation. This is PURE GOLD! THANK YOU ROBERT!!!!!
Thank you for taking the time to post your lessons. They are a huge help. To many, apparently. Great job!
Can't thank you enough, great tutorial! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much for the interview Robert. I appreciate all the knowledge you provide as well as the way you do it.
Really appreciated the way you explain things. Would love to see more videos on Altium. Robert you make my life easy. Thank you
This was a fantastic and comprehensive tutorial for getting started with Altium, Robert. You are a very gifted instructor. I have only worked with Altium from the perspective of editing already-existing designs. It is great to be able to see the entire process of creating a design.
Thank you for sharing. Love it !
I've just started using Altium 22 having previous used several other schematic capture and layout packages. I must say that this video has been invaluable to me in getting to grips with the basics of Altium. Excellent work Robert :)
Stupendous. Did from scratch alongside the video and everything is done without any issues. That is a first for me.
It's good to see Altium has implemented some of the fantastic features found in Kicad...cheers !
This is THE Altium tutorial. Great job creating an updated version of the older vids.
Excellent tutorial. This should almost be a curriculum for new hires in PCB design and other EE engineers.
You always explain micro details..
Thank you Robert...
It's very useful for me! Thank you so much for a wonderful video! Have a great job, Robert!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I only want to mention that with Designer 365, if you want to resize the board size, you will not only need to select "Board Planning" under View, but then also need to go to Design, and select Edit Board Shape in order to have the resizing tabs shown.
Thank you very much Robert, this video answer my questions about problem in output file that i have in the new version of altium designer 🙏🏻
This is all in one package, a well-prepared video. Thank you for this gift.
Thank you so much for your great instruction!
Thanks for your easy to follow explanations
This is amazing, thank you so much!
Robert, this is an outstanding tutorial! Only three parts, but it covers everything from the ground up.
Thank you for this great content, was able to design and order my custom PCB thanks to your excellent tutorial
Thank you for sharing.
one of the best tutorials i ever seen in Engineering in general; you walk the way for a beginner and combine big number of details carefully without overwhelming the viewer; But more importantly, the expert tips you always give in each step which answers questions always comes in that early steps; this video saves days of learning; and i really surprised it's not sponsored by Altium
I wish you all the best !
Thank you very much
I love it. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this video. It's motivational for me, and we are going to follow yout steps! This is a success. We are from Buenos Aires, Argentina, we focus on develop technology for hydroponics farms. Now we are redesinging ours leds pcbs, so this video it's what we need. THANK YOU!!!!
Eres genial me encanta tus videos, muchas gracias.
Great tutorial, thank you very much.
so wonderful and useful video. Thank you, sir
i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software
Thank you sooooo much
Great tutorial, thank you! PS--- to stop/pause (i.e. 5:55, etc.), press TAB.
thank you so much
thank you so much for this video, it's a life saver
Sometimes when I watch videos its too slow and I watch on 1,25x, but you are so efficient and no time is lost so I watch on 0,75x so I have time to do it at the same time without always pausing :p.
Thanks! This was a great tutorial
Thank you Vanessa
Greate video, Very thanks
Like it, thanks for the info :)
thank you so much robert i learn a lot from you about altium designer because what i learn in university is not enough thanks i love your channel :) :) ^_^
Thanks alot 😊
If fabrication notes are able there will be advantages because I am usually not familiar with that and it will help on fabs. But this video is also really helpful thanks!
will check it later
Great content.
Thank You. I hope many like me will find it and appreciate it. Its really helpful for me and the course was well structured. Once I get a job im purchasing your courses.
Thank you very much Sudharsan
You saved my life at 48:30 minute. Thanks a lot.
thank you :D
Thank u very much
A fantastic tutorial for my transition from Eagle to Altium. Perfect pace and level of depth.
Thank you very much Scott
Wow this is so good
Top notch video!
On average takes about 3-4 hours to properly understand the tutorial contents.
Indeed, it is!
magnificent
Excelent.
#awesome. Thank you very much sir for helping us and posting such nice content which was really helpful for me as a beginner. I strongly recommend this tutorial to all those who want to learn Altium Designer for the very first time. Again, huge respect and appreciation 4u sir!
Thank you, although I have never used Altium Designer before but after seeing this tutorial I can use it smoothly.
In my opinion, this is the most complete and easiest Altium Designer tutorial for beginners that I have ever seen. You must be a teacher because your explanations are very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you very much Wawan
thanks
Thank you for such a great tutorial video! Everything clear and well explained. Imho it would be a bit easier to watch the cursor actions if the clicks ware animated.
خیلی خوب بود
thank u for this learn video (in IRAN people) u are perfect bro
Thank you Robert. Very helpfull tutorial. I have one comment for possible improvement: I find I quite often have to pause the video to be able to follow along, but pausing causes to video controls to appear at the bottom of the screen so that I have difficulty to see what you do when you navigate near the bottom of the screen. I think it would help if you would record with the Altium not at full screen but just a bit reduced from full screen to make a small gap at the bottom of the screen. That way, pausing the video would not block what is done at the bottom of the Altium screen. Hope that was understandable.
Use mpv with yt-dlp to watch the video. The controls only appear when you move your mouse or hover over them at the bottom when they're shown.
use firefox and pop the video out using the picture in picture mode. You can then scale the video to be about the same size as it was within the window. and move it right above the time slider. Note: it helps to have a dedicated monitor for the tutorial and another dedicated monitor for Altium.
Dear Robert,
Could you please explain what is the use of adding the assembly layer?
Thanks
Great
Excellent and Professional Presentation. Everything explained nicely like someone is making a REAL JOB PCB.
Everything taken care in video... Use of Datasheet, Track-Size, Trace Placement , Vai Placement, Update Footprint , Update PCB with Additional Components .Design Rule Check...
I would like to see more video like this. May be on SMPS or Microcontroller Based.
Thank you. I do have MIcrocontroller based course ( academy.fedevel.com/courses/online-want-to-design-your-own-arduino-board ) and Switching Power Supply based course ( academy.fedevel.com/courses/online-switching-power-supply-design-course ) but they are not free as it is a lot of work to prepare these kind of materials and also I use the income from that paid courses to be able to create free tutorials.
@@RobertFeranec pls the led 3d file you copied please which software did you use in saving it to be a step file please im stuck their please.....may GOD continue to bless the works of your hand....
Guys it really works, I checked
Hello sir I am your big fan
Hi Robert, is there any tutorials for PDN analyzer from altium?
thank you so much for your tutorial, I would ask you ... but if one of the components of your "Component List" is not a component of Digikey, and I want to enter the price manually, can I do it only in the excel sheet or can I also enter the price in the schematic ?
Hi Robert,
Could you please tell me about how to keep exact dimensions for the PCB board(ex:115.5x105.5mm) in Altium.
Hello there! Thank you so much for the amazing video. I had one quick question.... Where can I find the part # for the PCB that I designed?
Hi Robert!
I have the following questions:
1. When creating a schematic element how do we choose the location, font and size of the Designator and Comment?
2. When I place a schema element the Designator and Comment are displayed with 14p size and unknown font.
What caused this? Altium Designer 22
hello Robert, what do you press when you say "press Start"
Previously very thanks for this very helpful videos but I have a problem at manufacturer part search, when Im trying to download the component, for instance resistance, place button in download button is disabled, How can I fix this problem?
I found this lect. from you to be very useful but i need to view several times as i am new to this design software. plz suggest. Thanks
hi robert can youplease upload avideo how to make panel for semicircle pcb
Hi Robert, I've a question about the "BOM". In the old Altium (18) when you create the BOM with the excel template, in the file that you create the manufactor cell have the hyperlink to web page of Supplier's product. From version 20 of Altium this connection not to be seen! Do you know how I can do this type of connection? thank you
Hello Robert, I am learning altium having used KiCad for a long time before. Is there a reason why you are drawing the symbols by hand? I have Altium version 20 and I can just use the Place Part option, but I dont know what difference it makes. Thanks for the tutorial!
Excelent, 2milion clicks per component
Great video Robert. How did you "pause" when creating components...?
TAB
How do I change the nasty gray color around the pcb outline?
CAN you please help me, iam not able to place resistor ,because iam not getting download option as you are getting!
I am buying a new laptop. For Altium should I go with dedicated GPU?? or intel integrated iris Xe of i7 13th generation is enough for PCB design and 3D aspects??
Where can I download it?
I have a question regarding the Altium Designer 3D view.
I normally build 2 layer boards and when i switch the 3D view I see top and bottom layers but the middle part is transparent and I see all the via's. I don't know how to fix it. Can you guide me?
1:00:54 how does it auto increase number of designator, ex if R1 exist, R? -> R2, ... thanks
The Schematic symbol/library I have created is not showing up in components. Can anyone help me?
hi robert and hi guys. I have a huge problem about ımporting schematic to pcb phase. firstly ı cant opened project options because it's greyed out. second problem is ı didn't have a update pcb document options in design segment. ı am do everythink same with robert but ı have a problems like this and because of them ı cant reach the pcb phase. thanks for help for everyone
Hi Robert! I am facing a problem defining the board shape in the board planning mode. I don't get the option to resize the board on selecting the board region in the board planning mode. Is there any particular setting I need to do to get the option of resizing the board?
Having the exact same problem. Found the solution yet?
Edit* found the solution. After entering board planning mode, go to the 'Design' menu in the top left corner and select 'Editboard shape'.

Hello Robert, I have a question, how can I prevent a physical button from having a double click? since I press it one time and the oscilloscope shows two and even 3 peaks. Thank you very much for uploading these videos they are great.
Hi! you can use rc chain with capacitor about 1u and resistor about 10k
Have a look how I am doing it in the 28pins project: www.28pins.com/
@@vladimirsabaev Thanks a lotttt.
@@RobertFeranec thank you very much sir feranec.
Check out Ben Eater's clock video for his 8 bit computer series.
Sir how did you create step led file in your computer. I am following same method and pasting my code on notepad and then on folder still I'm not getting my file as step file document just like you received at 33.19 minutes. All I'm getting is text file and it's not working in 3D model for my design
Is that for all newbies?
Is there a way to do it on Microsoft Paint??

Sir, In this tutorial, we are creating footprint for 3 components . Also we are adding "assembly layer" to these footprints after placing 3D Model.
MY Question about a STEP ( View Configuration -> Right Click Mechanical 1 -> Add Component Layer Pair )
In POP window Select "Layer Type" = "assembly".
This STEP will be done ONLY for FIRST component ?
NO need to REPEAT this STEP for 2nd component, 3rd component, and so on ?
Please help to understand.
Sir, did you understood my question ?
I have downloaded Altium but as you described sch.lib and pcb.lib file it is not appearing, only PCB and SCHEMATIC is present. what to do?
in design key.... there is no rules option sir... only rule wizard is there... help me😢
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Hello, ask at minute 14:09 the designator ID can change its name or it is not possible, thanks from Argentina. 🙂
Yes. You use this field to tell Altium that this type of component should have a Designator that starts with "R". When used in a design they will be annotated with the proper Reference Designator numbers. Other component types have different designators (for example, "C" for capacitor)
@@jackolson8015 Yes, but I am referring to the item ID designator, not the "Designator" would be the box above, is it possible to rename it or not? Thank you. 14:08
