The Altium Designer 3D measurement tool also includes several other advanced features that separate it from other ECAD tools. The Native 3D PCB editor gives the designer not only a highly realistic view of what the fully assembled board will look like, but also the ability to perform critical design tasks, such as 3D clearance checking, examining the location and presentation of text strings, inspecting each individual 3D layer within a single layer mode, and even performing measurements directly within 3D. You can view it from any angle or position that you choose, or even use orthographic projection to examine the board closely. You can then view the loaded board, zoom in, rotate it, and thoroughly examine it in full, three-dimensional detail. With the help of Microsoft® DirectX, the PCB editor allows the complete visualization of printed circuit boards, completely loaded with all of their components. 3D MEASURING IN ALTIUM DESIGNER The Altium Designer PCB editor gives designers the ability to display their board in glorious 3D.
