"We're moving patient rehabilitation forward with Altium Designer"

...The extensive part database powered by Altium’s Octopart makes it much easier to tie components to their footprints, which heavily simplifies BOM creation. Just generating MCAD files alone is a huge time saver; exporting the design is so much easier because the tool takes care of generating the folder structure, so the entire process is much more straightforward and efficient. Now, our designs and our BOMs are solid.e as in-depth as you want it to be and you can easily jump from the error listing to the point in the schematic where the error is.
