Altium: Is there a way in Altium to specify where I want to place a component based on coordinates? This is for Altium 23.8.1, the latest version. 

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction on the given question

In Altium Designer 23.8.1, a widely used PCB design software, designers often need to precisely control the placement of components within their circuit boards. This level of precision is critical to ensure that components are correctly positioned and aligned according to design specifications. In this context, the ability to specify component placement based on coordinates becomes invaluable. This feature allows designers to define the exact X and Y coordinates at which a component should be positioned on the PCB layout, ensuring an accurate and well-organized design. In this explanation, we will explore how to use this "Exact" placement feature in Altium Designer 23.8.1 to achieve precise component placement based on coordinates.
