Location:Training / Tools/EDA / Altium Designer 22 Electronic Design Introduction Practical Lectures 56 / Introduction to automatic routing of Active Route

Many students have previously reported that our practical design courses are mainly about the whole process of creating a PCB from scratch. They have learned a lot of knowledge related to PCB design. However, for novices, mastering the tools is also very necessary. After all, "rice" No matter how delicious it is, if you don’t know how to use chopsticks, it still doesn’t taste good.” In this course, we will make up for the shortcomings of novices who are not proficient in tools and teach all aspects of electronic design (schematic design and PCB design) using Altium Designer. Commonly used operations are listed, and then in-depth explanations and demonstrations are provided one by one, allowing students to quickly master the basic use of the software and quickly get started with practical PCB design.

Our aim is: to provide technical guidance until you learn it
