Managing a Workspace Project from within CircuitMaker

 

The Server Actions region is used to save your design, share your design projects with others, clone projects, and open projects in a web browser interface.

The region is accessed from any editor by choosing Project | Server Actions from the main ribbon.

Share

CircuitMaker supports the ability to share your design projects with specific people, anywhere around the world, directly from within the software. This complements the ability to share designs from within the browser-based Altium 365 platform itself.

The live (or WIP) design can be shared with any user of the CircuitMaker Community for viewing and/or editing, through email invite. An invited user can view the design through CircuitMaker, or through the Altium 365 Personal Space Interface. Editing is performed only through CircuitMaker.

If the recipient of a design shared with them does not have an Altium account, they will need to register for one first.
Publishing a project for the broader CuircuitMaker Community can be performed only from the Personal Space browser interface. To learn more, see Sharing with the CircuitMaker Community.

Additional Means of Access

Apart from the Server Actions region, controls for sharing a design from within CircuitMaker can be found in the following ways:

  • For the active project, click the  button at the top-right of the main application window.
  • For the focused project in the Projects panel, right-click on the entry for the project and then choose the Share command from the context menu.
