Altium's CoDesigner allows mechanical engineers to design alongside PCB designers, and supports multiple MCAD software platforms (including PTC Creo®, Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS®, Autodesk Inventor®, and Autodesk Fusion 360®). Typically, when PCB designers and mechanical engineers have to work together on the same design, both are continually importing, exporting and converting files, adding hours of manual labor, data loss, and rework to the design process. The CoDesigner capability eliminates that clunky and often tedious process. This streamlined process ensures MCAD and ECAD are always in sync, yielding greater productivity, faster
prototyping and shorter time-to-market, helping Altium Designer users change how they collaborate with their MCAD colleagues without the need to change the way they work.
