The Altium Designer Stackup Planner imports the substrate configuration from the ICD Stackup Planner and automatically creates the corresponding Layers in Altium Designer configuring the Layer Stackup Manager. Also, Design Rules for Trace Width, Clearance and Differential Pairs are automatically created in Altium Designer enabling the user to route each layer and differential pair to the calculated single ended or differential impedance.

The interface also exports the Altium Designer Layers from the Layer Stack Manager and Trace Width/Clearances into the ICD Stackup Planner for the calculation of impedance and trace current. The stackup is then be modified to obtain the desired impedances and imported back into Altium Designer.
