Vault Guidelines
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.
PCBs that do not follow guidelines and/or use components that do not follow guidelines, may not be release for production until guidelines are met
Currently our guidelines are still in Google Drive:
Additionally, the #Standards folder contains the custom NERvetica font and a pre-populated DRC file.
