BoardTrace - Altium Designer extension

BoardTrace is the only tool to visualize connectivity between components (including FPGA) on one or multiple boards.

HDL Works has developed an Altium Designer extension to form a bridge between the schematic capture design and BoardTrace. The extension allows you to export the schematic netlist of the active open PCB project (or all projects) to BoardTrace using HDL Works XML format. This format contains more information than the regular netlist formats.

The extension can be started from the 'Tools -> HdlWorks dialog...' menu when a schematic page is active in the editor.

The extension is available for Altium Designer 18 and later. It can be downloaded from the BoardTrace download page. (We are waiting for Altium to review the extension so it can installed from within Altium Designer)

More information on the BoardTrace features and its smart verification methodology can be found on the main page.
