Following the “garbage in, garbage out” principle, preparing your Altium data is the most important step for a clean migration. Review this checklist:
Never send a translated design directly to fabrication. You must systematically verify the integrity of the data. 1. Netlist and Connectivity Verification Generate a raw netlist from the new Xpedition database.
Ensure all components in the PCB match the schematic libraries. Missing library components are the #1 cause of failed conversions. altiumr to xpeditionr translator user guide exclusive
Xpedition manages hierarchical and repeated blocks differently than Altium. If your Altium design utilizes multi-channel nesting, consider flattening the structure or explicitly mapping the channels to distinct physical components to prevent component mapping mismatches during netlist generation. 3. Database and Library Consolidation
If you are an existing Xpedition user, the internal is your primary asset. Siemens supports the direct translation of reference designs created in Altium through PMW, utilizing specific translation guides and configuration files designed for this conversion. Missing library components are the #1 cause of
