Description
DipTrace is a professional PCB design suite from Novarm Ltd, in continuous development since 2004 and used by over 30,000 engineers across 50+ countries. Companies in aerospace, defense, medical devices, and industrial electronics rely on it for production work.
The suite covers the full design flow in one environment. Schematic Capture handles multi-sheet hierarchical projects with electrical rule check, a Digital SPICE Simulator for analog and digital circuits, and cross-selection with the board. PCB Layout provides interactive push-and-shove editing, where moving or rotating a placed component displaces neighbouring traces and vias as you work, and dragged traces route themselves around pads, keepouts, and existing copper. Designers choose whether design rules are enforced at all times or violations are permitted deliberately.
High-speed work is supported through differential pair routing, length matching, layer stackup management, and a PCB calculator. Manufacturing output covers Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, NC Drill, and STEP for mechanical CAD.
Version 5.3 introduced a native XML project format that mirrors the binary format feature for feature, making designs practical to keep under Git or another version control system. Component sourcing runs through a database-powered search with Mouser integration and SnapEDA access to more than 10 million parts.
Projects import from Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD, EasyEDA Pro, Pulsonix, and PADS.
DipTrace runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Licensing is perpetual — bought once, with no subscription or maintenance fees — across five editions starting at $75. Technical support is provided to every user, including those on the free edition.
Description
Requirements Portal by Altium is a requirements management and verification tool integrated directly into Altium’s solutions, including Altium Develop, Altium Agile Teams and Altium Agile Enterprise.
It enables engineering teams developing hardware products and embedded systems to create, store, and manage formalized requirements and link them to designs and verification data.
Each requirement is traceable and connected to upstream system definitions and downstream design and verification artifacts, such as schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and test cases, providing visibility from system design through implementation, verification, handoff, and certification.
This helps teams reduce rework, avoid misalignment across disciplines, and simplify compliance activities.

Why choose Requirements Portal?
Unlike traditional requirements management systems that are rigid, expensive and maintained by dedicated admins, Requirements Portal offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn alternative that delivers a fast return on investment for engineering teams.
Compared to document-based approaches that are near-impossible to scale beyond a few hundred requirements, Requirements Portal helps you scale across complex products and multiple projects with thousands of requirements.

Requirements Portal is the successor to Valispace, created after Altium acquired the company and integrated its technology into the Altium ecosystem.
Requirements Portal is included in Altium Develop, and the starting price includes unlimited collaborators.
