Flex-Rigid Design Links

Here is an Altium article titled "Best Practice of Flex Circuit Design"

https://www.altium.com/rigid-flex-circuits-resources/best-practice-flex-circuit-design


It's a bit dated, it was published when AD16 was released, however it is still relevant and has some of the best graphics I have seen related to flex designs.

Flexible Circuit Technologies is a highly regarded Flex resource.

Wurth Elektronik's also has some good stuff to share about designing with Flex-Rigid.

Tips:


Define Rigid-Flex Regions using View > Board Planning Mode









Select View > Board Planning Mode, then Select > Design > Define Split Line 

Snapping Options (Try Track Lines and a little cheese)









To delete a splitting line wiggle the line then press the delete key.

Enable All Objects in the Selection Filter to grab Splitting lines.



Show all Single Layers and Enable Regions to Define Stackup Regions







That's it !
