The design sources are discarded immediately after being used solely for the purpose of creating a PDI. The PDI is a CAD-aware, perishable snapshot of the design that captures limited information such as components, net connectivity and basic geometrics, excluding design primitive data that would be required to fully comprehend and author changes to the design. The Viewer processes the design source files to create a Published Design Impression, or PDI. The A365 Viewer protects the IP rights of design owners while retaining the CAD design details via a new process called Published Design Impression (PDI). It has been designed to work with multiple eCAD formats, currently supporting Autodesk Eagle and Altium Designer.Other popular PCB design software formats will be supported in the near future. Using the A365 Viewer requires no CAD tools or experience. For example, the A365 Viewer allows users to search for, select, cross-probe and inspect components and nets while moving seamlessly between schematic, PCB and 3D views of their board. With the new A365 Viewer, an interactive experience is created that retains all of the key relevant information that's typically lost when sharing static files. The A365 Viewer is part of Altium’s cloud strategy and newly launched Altium 365 cloud platform.ĭesigners have usually been forced to share their PCB designs through PDFs or static images. Schematics, PCB layout, and 3D visualization provide an interactive eCAD experience with no downloads or installations required. The A365 Viewer, powered by the Altium 365 cloud platform, is a new way to view and share electronic designs through a browser on any web-enabled desktop, phone or tablet.
