Hello ,

I want to make an breakout board that fits in an breadboard like this :


But they are expensive, I am using Altium 10 but how do i make sure i can just plug it in the breadboard and all pins are aligned correctly ? Thanks

Breadboards are designed on 0.1" or 2.54mm grids.  So you want your pins on 2.54mm centers.  There is usually a gap in the center, but holes on each side of that are still 2.54mm spacings.  So, as long as you don't go wider than the breadboard, you just make sure the width between the pin rows is a multiple of 2.54mm.
The image it are showing looks like 7 pin spacings wide or 2.54mm x 7 = 17.78mm.
