How do you add mechanical layers in Altium 17?
The dialog is accessed by right-clicking in the Layers region on the Layers & Colors tab of the View Configuration panel (View » Panels » View Configuration) then selecting Add Mechanical Layer.
What is the similarities between compositional and mechanical layers?
The Earth has different compositional and mechanical layers. Compositional layers are determined by their components, while mechanical layers are determined by their physical properties. The outermost solid layer of a rocky planet or natural satellite. Chemically distinct from the underlying mantle.

How to use route tool path in Altium?
Route Tool Path – used to indicate the layer that contains the mechanical routing information. Note that a user-defined name is not permitted when using this layer type. ( show image) Sheet – use this layer to define the outer document drawing template border.
How to reorient a component in Altium 18?
The procedure differs from which version of Altium you are using. I can provide instruction for Altium 18 but anything before that, you might have to look in the layer settings. The easiest way to reorient the components, is from within the footprint lib, update PCB. I had something similar happen recently and my colleague showed me that trick.
How are components assigned to different mechanical layers?
Some components at the top have their “violet” box assigned to Mechanical Layer 1, some to Mechanical Layer 13. This is also true for bottoms components. How can I fix this problem so each component has the correct mechanical layer assigned based on its side placement?
