Getting Started in Altium Designer and Altium 365 – Part 5 – DRCs and Documentation

Before we’re ready to send the design out for fabrication and testing we need to run our final Design Rule Checks, and create any documentation necessary in Altium Designer.

We’ll cover running DRCS, fixing violations and errors, and how to create all the necessary documentation you need, like a draftsman document, ActiveBOM, Gerber, ODB++, or whatever documentation you need to get your PCB fabricated correctly.
