The Workspace becomes both the source and destination of design elements, with each new design utilizing elements released to, and managed through, the Workspace. A chosen release can also be shared – as a Manufacturing Package – directly with your manufacturer.īy furnishing a set of reusable design 'building blocks' within the Workspace you can embark on fresh projects safe in the knowledge that each model, component and higher-order design element has been ratified and approved for use, with no having to reinvent the wheel as it were. Through a dedicated Manufacturing Portal you can view and navigate the released file data, inspect the BOM, and view and comment on the snapshot of the design itself the source for that released data. You can even create and manage your entire design projects directly within the Workspace, with a CAD-centric management view that facilitates collaborative review and commenting of that design, along with inspection of its BOM and history. The Workspace can accommodate all managed data, including components, domain models, schematic sheets of circuitry and design templates. It also caters for the lifecycle of the data to be managed (available with Altium Designer Pro and Enterprise Subscriptions), allowing people that need to use the data to see, at-a-glance, what stage the data has reached in its 'life' and therefore what it can be safely used for. The Workspace not only provides solid, secure storage of data, but also enables re-release of data as distinctly separate revisions – essentially tracking design changes over time, without overwriting any previously released data. It works harmoniously with Altium Designer to provide an elegant answer to the question of handling design data with secured integrity. It facilitates the seamless connectivity of, and the mechanics for moving data between, the design, manufacturing and supply domains. An integral part of the Altium 365 infrastructure platform, the Workspace is a dedicated server for all your managed content.
