How long does it take to design a PCB board?

In Altium Designer, a project includes the associations between all files and related settings of the design. A project file, such as xxx.PrjPCB, is an ASCII text file, which includes the files in the project and output related settings, such as print settings and CAM settings. Files that are not related to the project are called "free files". Files associated with the schematic and target output are added to the project, such as Ceramic PCB, FPGA, embedded (VHDL) and libraries. When the project is compiled, design verification, simulation synchronization and comparison will all proceed together. Any changes to the original schematic or PCB will be updated at compile time.
The creation process of all types of projects is the same. This chapter introduces the process of creating a Heavy copper board project as an example. First create a project file, then create a new schematic diagram and add it to the newly created project, and finally create a new Microwave radio frequency board and add it to the project like the schematic diagram.
