Issue Details

Altium Designer is a printable circuit board (PCB) design software produced by Altium Limited. It is used to design PCB layouts in a similar way that NI Ultiboard can. Are NI Multisim and NI Ultiboard compatible with Altium Designer software?

Solution

Multisim and Ultiboard do not produce files that can be read by Altium Designer and Altium Designer does not produce files readable with Multisim or Ultiboard. Because the file formats are incompatible, conversion between the two is not possible.
