Altium Designer 24.6 PCB design software now includes the ability to disable automatic updates of drill symbol data.

Adds support for the placement of components onto a substrate when footprints contain not just standard pads but also solid regions or fills. This enables placing of components with more complex-shaped footprints onto your substrates, including RF shapes (e.g., antennas). Adds the ability to route along more "natural" lines on the surface of the 3-D substrate by using the new "UV" plane kind for the alignment grid. Rather than the more rigid grids generated using the traditional XYZ planes, the UV plane generates a grid based on the surfaces of the substrate, providing more natural gridlines that follow the curves of the substrate. Now imports designs created using KiCad version 7 or 8 software.
