Thanks to share. As a beginner, it is greatly helpful to know how professional builds a project. By the way, which version Altium designer do you use in this demostration?

i really appreciate you doing these videos but I think there are some
points I would like to make. One is your answer about “I think” I am
using version 9. This is a VERY IMPORTANT piece of information i think
you need to take more seriously as if you are using v9 and someone is
using something else this tutorial may be a total waste of time if there
are some features either added, removed or modified (at the least very
confusing). In all software tutorials worth their salt they need to
have VERY CLEARLY THE VERSION NUMBER being talked about. I also think
you are too quick at the beginning of tutorials so tend to wizz through
the menus and grab the relevant bits. The detail of how to move objects
around etc is nice but how you get there is almost impossible to
follow. One of the BIGGEST CONFUSION POINTS for me is the file
structure in approximately 50% of these tutorials half of what is on
your screen is not in mine due to file structure, ie component library,
footprint library etc being totally different.
This program is
not the most intuitive to use particularly with how it manages file
structures and ALL the tutorials I have viewed are great at explaining
basic component placement etc but really do not address the file
structures on any level. If you can please can you add a video that
addresses file structure and library management in altium. For example
if i go to footprint I really am struggling getting any kind of output
from this. I am also struggling with the tabs beneath the file list on
the left the tabs you often refer to do not exist on mine.
It
would really help before your tutorials start to explain what file you
are using, what libraries you are using how they are structured and to
ensure you are in the right area of altium so all the tabs, component
lists etc are as you view them because for me 50% of the time it just
doesnt add up.
Some other points. Who ever was criticizing your
english is a complete joker as your english is 100% fine and I am very
thankful for you taking your time to make these videos.
This has clearly taken you a lot of your time and without these videos I really would be in the dark.
This
software is nice but seems to have a long history from various
developers etc so there seems to be an awful lot of stuff that is
totally unnecessary and all it does is confuses the hell out of me. The
actual task in hand is relatively simple but so far 3 days on I am not
really beyond displaying a few schematic images that I cannot get to
link with the footprints correctly.
Yes its easy if your file structures are flowing right. if you lose track of the file structures good luck.

Thank you Dave for your feedback. If you are missing some TABs in the left panel, you can add them through the buttons called “System, Design Compiler, SCH/PCB, Instruments, Shortcuts, …” These buttons are placed in the right bottom corner of Altium Designer. Hope this helps.
