Do you support Altium .PrjPCB files?

Currently, Circuithub does not support .PrjPCB (Altium Project) files for upload.

What is a .PrjPCB file?

A .PrjPCB file is the project file used in Altium Designer, a popular PCB design software. This file acts as a container that references the various design documents that make up a PCB project, such as:

• Schematic documents (.SchDoc)
• PCB layout documents (.PcbDoc)
• Output job files
• Other design-related assets

The .PrjPCB file itself is an ASCII text file and contains metadata about the project, including:

• The list of all files included in the project
• Electrical rule check settings
• Output job settings

Importantly, it does not contain any design data, such as schematics or layout information. That content lives in the associated .SchDoc and .PcbDoc files.

Why don't we support .PrjPCB uploads?

Since .PrjPCB files are just a list of references and don't include any actual design data, they are not useful on their own for manufacturing or design processing. Uploading this file wouldn't give us access to the PCB layout, netlist, or any manufacturing-related information.

Instead, we require users to upload individual source files, such as Altium outputs like .PcbDoc or .SchDoc.
