Enhanced Polar Grid Support | Component Creation
Component placement is one of the main steps in board design. And in specific boards of a circular shape, it is convenient to use a polar grid for the location of components. Altium Designer 21 brings several improvements to the polar grid.
Now, when a component is positioned in a polar grid, its properties additionally display location coordinates relative to this grid. Using them, you can quickly arrange the components in the right places. And moving the component off the grid, polar coordinates are automatically disabled.
Also in Altium Designer 21, the use of a polar grid is extended to be used for a group of objects. It can be as separate objects selected by the area. Groups of objects united into unions or objects related to individual rooms.
Thanks to this, you can quickly place not only components but also individual parts of the board with a partially completed routing.
