Altium Designer vs. Dynamo BIM

For general PCB design, rigid flex PCB design, and multi-layer PCB design, Altium Designer is the best software to use on the market. The simple movement between board layers and easy component placement are what sets it apart from other similar software. When designing our PCBs for industry, it is easily capable of suiting all of our needs.

Dynamo is the main tool for making BIM automation very well . By using Dyanmo our work take less time to complete. After correct Dynamo script applying in Revit most of the time work take less time to complete in a smart way . I think coding and Dyanmo will make a better combination in BIM field.

• BOM management - with just a little bit of extra care any designer produces a usable bom along with their pcb design ready to be ordered
• 365 - being able to view and review (placing comments) projects without the need to have the software installed locally
• Multi-pcb projects

• I create a Dyanmo script for placing a light family in all over model in a single click with maintaining a standard.
• I can create a Dyanmo script for PDF creation of my all 2d sheets .
• I can create a Dyanmo script to cut my whole pipe in a standard pipe length in a single click .

• The tools organization section has too many tools that are easy to lose.
• Save settings for multi-projects and reuse settings from other projects in new ones.
• Better import final designs into multiple formats (details are often lost when imported into CAD formats).

• For making a dyanmo script we should do alot of work and I think this news to be smart.
• Dyanmo with navisworks is require
• Dynamo free tutorial is to be shared by company.

ALTIUM DESIGNER is the reference tool in the electronic circuit design sector, its use is widespread worldwide. Although there are other alternatives, some of them free do not rival ALTIUM DESIGNER in terms of features and reliability. It is also very practical to request quotes with ALTIUM DESIGNER BOM reports since all suppliers are accustomed to using the tool.

Like any complicated program, it will always need some room for improvement. For example, it would be nicer to have other shortcuts than just the numpad Asterisk as the layer shift shortcut, or easy to shift layers via other ways. Some programs use a space bar instead, or similar. It would also be nice to manipulate or make 3D items better

Not very stable. Sudden lack of functionality when the license expires is not indicated clearly and can lead to loss of work.

I use the educational Program. And so far is the best technical support. Every time that I need one or I have a question. They respond so far and with excellent advice.

easy to follow, Good technical materials. good videos The platform is easy to use.

Overly complex, not designed for small organizations, core functionality poorly implemented to focus on flashy features.

We had two licenses, purchased at a time when Altium Designer products were affordably priced. I can't remember how much they were, but they were not at a price where we even had to think about it at all. We wished to purchase a 3rd license a couple of years ago, actually, because we wanted more, but the price had risen so considerably that we were asked to test some less expensive alternatives, which we did. Suddenly, the pricing structure skyrocketed, and when more than one license and more than one subscription are wished, then it becomes serious money. However, we decided to continue with Altium Designer, as none of the alternatives matched up to it.

I think Dyanmo is a basic to advance version of automation in BIM Industry so we choose Dynamo against any other software. Many of our people knows about the software so training of this software is become easy for organisation. On YouTube we have found many videos about Dyanmo. Most important it take less money and save very much time of our employees.

Because, in my opinion, usage for small organization is poor, it is difficult to set up initial configuration to support scaling.

• It has enabled us to turnaround customer designs quicker. Because of this, our gross profit grew 79% YoY.
• We can identify and mitigate supply chain risks with unified component management and sourcing views.
• We can closely estimate total BOM and solution costs.

• Positive impact is it will save our employees time to do his job
• It will create an automation in BIM industry
• Not take too much money for licence
