content: Hi,As we see in 25:00 of this..Altium has bugs....Like these...https://blog.mbedded.ninja/electronics/general/altium/altium-bugs-and-things-to-watch-out-for/#pcb-objects-going-out-side-of-the-editor-boundaryThough i believe there are more.....recently i lost the "view configurations" panel for 6 hours......and as such, was not unable to complete a job, for which ultimately i was sacked.Also, i find that when you select "solid connection" for vias in planes......they keep reverting to "thermal relief" connection.Why do Altium not have a page for known bugs?We've already heard on this forum...how all of China were using a "free version" of Altium......i dont mind betting this "free version" is full of bugs....and i shoudlnt mind betting that multiple western co's have a copy of this "free version".....maybe they booked the full cost of buying Altium to their own bank account, but then just acquired a free Chinese version for the company that they work for...

Really really? I'm sure there must be more to it than not being able to figure how to see a config panel.QuoteBecause there are far too many for a single page? Or maybe because they have a proper bug reporting system:https://bugcrunch.live.altium.com/But note that you need to have a customer account to access it.QuoteMate, have you never used proper software before? There isnothingwhich is reasonably complex that doesn't have bugs.

content: Bottom line: don't tell lies during a job interview. Especially claiming to know stuff when you don't. Do say you are willing to follow a course / training. Using software like Altium takes going through a formal training process otherwise you'll fail miserably.
