Placing Your Company Logo in Altium Designer 21: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the latest version of Altium Designer, placing your company logo or any graphic object has become even more seamless and user-friendly. With the introduction of the Place command's new option, you can effortlessly add visual flair to your PCB documents with ease.

To get started, launch the Place command by either clicking on the corresponding icon in the toolbar or pressing the keyboard shortcut P,H. Once executed, the cursor will transform into a cross-hair, indicating that you are entering image placement mode.

From here, you have two primary methods for placing your company logo or graphic object onto your PCB document:

1. Adjusting Frame Size: Move the cursor to adjust the size of the frame and click or press Enter to complete frame placement. This allows you to define the dimensions of the image's frame, which will contain the actual image.

2. Anchoring Corners: Position the cursor and click or press Enter to anchor the first corner of the image's frame. The image itself will reside within this frame, giving you precise control over its placement.

To place your graphic object, follow these steps in sequence:

* Launch the Place command (P,H)

* Enter image placement mode with the cross-hair cursor

* Adjust the frame size to define the dimensions of the image's container

* Anchor the first corner of the image's frame for precise positioning

Once you've completed these steps, your company logo or graphic object will be securely positioned within your PCB document. The supported file formats for this process include *.png, *.jpg, *.bmp, and *.svg.

With Altium Designer 21, adding visual interest to your PCB designs has never been easier. By taking advantage of the Place command's new option, you can effortlessly integrate your company logo or graphic object into your designs, enhancing their overall aesthetic appeal and professionalism.
