For dynamic length compensation, you also have to define transmitter and receiver, such that the dynamic compensation is done properly. Where do you define that?
You don''t have to define transmitter and receiver, the best practice is to place the length compensation section where the length mismatch arises. For some connectors and BGA pinouts in designs I have worked on, this more often happens be close to the transmitter side of the link, but technically the mismatch could arise anywhere. In the image at 2:14, the video shows an example where it happens at both sides.
Because it is a money grab. The Constraint Manager is a new shiny feature that requires a Pro subscription. Altium treats their customers like fools with a lot of money.
The design rules in Altium, standard subscription are terrible! The priority is not respected, when many design rules are created, especially for internal and external layers! In addition, by some reason the polygons now need separate design rule, despite part of a net class! Altium introduced Constraint Manager, that supports matrix approach for the next classes. I assume, this happened, mainly, because the standard design rules concept is broken. Of course, the constraint manager is not included in the standard subscription...
I'm here for the donut.

I hate how they added constraint manager. Why not just stick with design rule?
I agree. Not a single person in my company uses constraint mananger and there no plan to use it either

*Super, I like it!*
