Altium has significantly enhances user experience and productivity with a modern interface to simplify the design experience and enable unprecedented performance optimization, aided by 64-Bit architecture and multi-threading for greater stability, speed, and functionality during PCB design. 

Altium Designer continues its focus on delivering new, easy-to-use and productivity enhancing PCB design tools as part of a single, unified application. Leveraging feedback and suggestions from the design community, Altium Designer features capability updates and performance optimizations to significantly enhance user experience and productivity. 

In addition to the easy-to-use, modernized user interface, Altium Designer will also feature a much anticipated upgrade to 64-bit architecture and multi-threading for greater stability, speed, and functionality. These updates will not only allow designers to increase their design speed and task execution, but will also provide more flexibility and control, simplifying the overall design process.
