NOTE: Do not blindly trust DRC or stackups found on the internet. Please double check that the DRC rules have been configured to your liking before continuing PCB design validation.

Importing a Stackup

1. Open Your Project:
   • Launch Altium Designer and open the project where you want to import the stackup.
2. Access the Layer Stack Manager:
   • Navigate to the top menu and select Design > Layer Stack Manager.
   • Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Ctrl+L to open the Layer Stack Manager directly.
3. Load the Stackup File:
   • In the Layer Stack Manager window, go to File > Load Stackup from File.
   • Browse to the location of your stackup file (commonly in .stk or .csv format) and select it.
   • Click Open to load the stackup into your project.
4. Review and Apply the Stackup:
   • Once the stackup is loaded, review the layer configuration to ensure it matches your design requirements.
   • If everything is correct, click OK or Apply to integrate the stackup into your project.
