Altium Designer 23.1 offers newly improved features spanning PCB design, product design and data management, enabling the creation of more detailed harness layout drawings, saving and loading a customized view of the board, and utilizing new capabilities within comments on the design.

Schematic capture improvements include compiled names of power ports, which enables the Net Labels option in the Compiled Names Expansion region of the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog to now determine the name for a Power Port object on the compiled (physical) tab of a schematic document. Net Labels option in the Print dialog (when accessed from an Outjob file for a schematic print output with the [Project Physical Documents] option selected as the output's data source) and on the Structure Settings page of the Smart PDF Wizard also now defines how the power ports will be shown in the schematic outputs.

PCB design improvements include the added the ability to load a stored view configuration file from the View Options tab of the View Configuration panel, as well as the ability to rename the Gerber Board Outline type file in the Gerber Setup and Gerber X2 Setup dialogs. Also features improved callstack crash report content by using an enhanced method to collect callstack crash reports, and adds the ability to attach images to comments. Crimps can now be used on the Wiring Diagram (*.WirDoc) as was previously available in the Layout Drawing, and parameters have been added to Twist and Shield objects in a Wiring Diagram document.
