I Want to Update Altium Designer

Altium Designer 25.8 Update (July 2025)

Altium continues to enhance its flagship product — Altium Designer — an innovative environment for designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), multi-board systems, and cable harnesses. In July 2025, version 25.8 was released, bringing significant improvements in design accuracy, efficiency, and usability.

• Undo/Redo in Constraint Manager — safely undo and redo changes in design rules.
• Automatic Cable Length Calculation in Harness Design — wires now receive precise lengths automatically based on topology.
• Syntax Checking in Constraint Manager — the system detects formula and value errors to reduce the risk of design inaccuracies.
• Improved Integration with Altium 365 — new tools for team collaboration, commenting, and change tracking.
