The Altium 365 Vault is where we store all component symbols and footprints used by the team. We have setup guidelines to ensure that all final PCBs have a unified and methodical layer system.

Currently our guidelines are still in Google Drive:

Additionally, the #Standards folder contains the custom NERvetica font and a pre-populated DRC file.

Welcome to the Official NER Vault Guidelines! This is the comprehensive guide on requirements for everything in Altium at NER.
The format of this guide will be very barebones as we want it to be a quick and absolute guide. Check out Altium Reference, Tips, Troubleshooting for friendlier refreshers on workflow, shortcuts, and more.
These guidelines assume you know the Altium basics and are intended to be a reference for all engineers at NER. If you need to get started with Altium check out Altium Designer!

Vault Organization
Where things go and how to name them
General Notes
All assets in the vault must have a name and be placed in a folder that is not the default/root
Names should be generic if possible
For example the TPS5V converter that comes in a few voltages could be named TPSXX so the symbol is sharable among all versions
