The 8.15 release introduced significant improvements to the design workflow, particularly in how users handle complex PCB traces:
This version added four additional mechanical layers, a dedicated slot layer, and specialized top and bottom assembly layers to better support complex manufacturing requirements. Proteus Professional 8.15 SP1 Build 34318
The Proteus software suite is a unified electronic design automation (EDA) tool that bridges the gap between schematic design and physical PCB manufacturing. Its primary modules include: Hardware Requirements Users can now edit curved routes
Users should be aware that version 8.15 involved a file format change, meaning files saved in this version generally cannot be opened in older versions of the software. Hardware Requirements This enables users to test their code on
Users can now edit curved routes similarly to linear ones. Curved corners can be dragged to adjust radii, and straight segments between curves can be manipulated without losing geometry.
A unique engine that allows for co-simulation of mixed-mode SPICE circuits and microcontroller firmware. This enables users to test their code on virtual hardware before building physical prototypes. Key Features in Version 8.15 SP1
A workspace for creating electronic prints with access to over 15 million components through integrated web searches from providers like SnapEDA and SamacSys.
