PCB API Types

Parent page: Technical Reference - PCB API

Please note that this documentation was last updated for an older version of Altium Designer. While many of the principles and approaches will remain the same, be aware that interfaces, objects, methods, properties, and the like will have changed since then, and will not reflect the entirety of those found in later versions of the software.

The enumerated types are used for many of the PCB object interfaces methods covered in this section.

For example the IPCB_Board interface has a LayerIsUsed [L : TLayer] : Boolean property — you can use this Enumerated Types section to check the range for the TLayer type.
