Version 2.1.7 Build: 73 Date: 30 August 2019

PCB
30060 Added support for SOLIDWORKS19 part files (*.SldPrt) (BC:11553).
32108 Fixed an issue where it was not possible to place inner-layer stacked uVias if there was a component pad present in that location on a surface layer.
33390 Fixed an issue where a catastrophic failure would sometimes occur when cancelling the command during interactive routing, on a partially routed net (BC:11428).
33498 Fixed an issue in the Layer Stack Manager that caused an invalid format message when using values that are smaller than 1oz.
Draftsman
31482 Fixed an issue where mirrored Back Drills were not drawn on the Layer Stack Legend.
32638 Fixed issue where View boundary snapping guides were not functioning when a View was being moved on the sheet (BC:11276).
33819 Fixed an issue where the Import changes from PCB process would become very slow if the design includes components placed from an installed DbLib or SvnDbLib (BC:9443).
Components Panel
32089 Fixed an issue in the Components panel, where real-time in-grid searching failed (option is enabled in the Advanced Settings dialog).
32966 Added support for searching with wildcards in the Components panel.
33713 Added the ability to edit a footprint when the SCHLIB has a valid and linked footprint.
33717 Improved the sorting priority of search results in the Components panel.
Data Management
31843 Fixed an issue where an OutputJob named using a certain naming scheme would result in the Project Releaser not generating all output files for some variants.
33860 Fixed an issue where changing a DbLib component (from a multi-table database) via the ellipsis button in the Design Item ID field would retain the table number of the previous component, resulting in the wrong component being selected.
33999 Fixed an issue where the rank assigned to a Part Choice was not being recognized by the BOM Status feature in ActiveBOM.

Altium NEXUS is an easy to implement, team-based PCB workflow solution designed to provide the transparency needed for engineering teams to collaborate with confidence. Even though Altium NEXUS includes all the various industry leading PCB domain editors required to create a circuit board, its core DNA is enabling design teams to work together.

Design collaboration is enabled through user roles and managed data (library and design), while providing process automation and a framework to configure common electronic design activities and workflows. This provides organizational transparency to design data changes and workflow states through role based notification. By using Altium NEXUS, companies will have the ability to manage their PCB data, improve communication as it relates to multidisciplinary engineering, and configure and automate workflows replacing existing manual processes - resulting in the reduction of design respins and delivery of higher quality products in a shorter period of time.

Altium NEXUS introduces new technology in PCB data management, design collaboration, and process and workflow control, making it the most comprehensive circuit board design solution, while taking the risk out of integration and deployment. Altium NEXUS includes server technology to support collaboration, process management, and data management, hosted either on-premise (same as Altium Vault), or cloud (option not available previously) environments. The core schematic and PCB design technology of Altium NEXUS is identical to that of Altium Designer 18.0, sharing 100% of the design capabilities - now and always.
