[@user-ww2lc1yo9c]

shouldn't the NF component space be taken over by the solder mask and thus be green i.e no silk screen component?

[@user-ww2lc1yo9c]

Why not put the designator into the BOM?

[@user-ww2lc1yo9c]

The "Solution 1" does not appear in my Altium 22 Bill of Materials for Project.

Hey Robert, thank you so much for showing us the important fundamentals for using this software.

I have watched this series three times. You exactly show the basics of Altium detailly. When I forget something, I look at this series...Great work!

[@RobertFeranec]

Thank you.

[@BiqBanq]

@@RobertFeranec You are welcome, I can not imagine how I can learn new Altium unless you make this series.

[@BiqBanq]

@@RobertFeranec I would like to buy this course but it has so high price. In my country; 1 dolar=7 TL. To buy this course, I must give half of my salary approximately. Can you give me that course for free or more suitable price?
academy.fedevel.com/courses/online-advanced-pcb-layout-course

[@RobertFeranec]

@@BiqBanq I would recommend to go for the "Online" option (that is the most cost effective option) and you can use also these coupons: If you would like to sign up for the "Online" option, use "HKM3AC" discount coupon code to save $30 USD
, If you would like to sign up for the "Online and Download" option, use "KFR7D2" discount coupon code to save $50 USD. I hope this helps.

[@BiqBanq]

@@RobertFeranec Thanks Robert. You are so generous. My salary is enough for my essential needs. If I earn lots of money, I will buy it. But now, In order to earn lots of money, I have to watch all of your videos in youtube:)
