» Layout Features Proteus PCB layout is a professionals choice featuring constraint driven design, push and shove manual routing, a powerful auto-router and dedicated support for high speed signals. A professionals choice for modern printed circuit board design With over 35 years of continuous development and innovation, our focus remains on adding functionality while maintaining a simple, clean user interface and tight integration with the schematic design. Footprint Libraries Dozens of pre-installed libraries of schematic parts packaged with IPC standard footprints. Over 15 million packaged parts on tap via the integrated web search and import tool. Managed Libraries Enabled managed mode to restrict parts usage to librarian approved and version controlled libraries. Full HDI support with 1+n+1 board construction in the Stackup Wizard. Laser-drilled micro-via spans are formally distinguished from mechanically drilled spans, with automatic aspect ratio and minimum hole size constraints. Micro-vias integrate with manual routing, smart vias, length matching and DRC. Measure and Move A dedicated Measure Mode with cursor snapping to object edges and a live Measure Panel showing total, horizontal and vertical distances. Re-position any object to a precise new distance from its neighbour — no false origins or fine-grid workarounds needed. Store and re-use board definitions and board constraints along with other technology data with PCB templates. Proteus features push and shove and traditional follow-me routing modes for both route placement and route editing. Switch between them at a keypress and configure during track placement with the route command centre. High Speed Routing Dedicated differential pair routing with automatic skew correction. A simple select and match method for net tuning high speed signals and detailed reporting to verify tolerances. Proteus includes a world class integrated shape based autorouter as standard with all professional purchases. The router uses advanced cost-based conflict reduction algorithms proven to maximise completion rates on even the most densely packed boards. Power planes that intelligently flood the board with full user control of nesting and islands. Support for plane layers and split planes as well as plane stitching and via fences. Advanced design rule support including multi-layer design rule rooms. Live design rule system shows you instantly where violations occur.

3D Visualisation 3D board visualisation with fly-by navigation and zoom. Bareboard view and height bounds checker along with STEP/IGES import and export. Comprehensive support for testpoints and testpoint coverage and compliance strategies. A range of modern manufacturing output formats and multiple export formats for MCAD tools and documentation. Output Job Manager Define reusable output profiles combining Gerber, Pick and Place, BOM, 3D MCAD, PDF and image tasks, then generate the complete set with a single command. Field codes automate folder naming by project, revision and board, and a built-in pre-production check runs before any files are written. Multi Board Projects Design products consisting of multiple rigid PCBs on a single schematic. PCB Top 5 Features There are an awful lot of timesaving and productivity features in the Proteus Design Suite. We've picked out five of our favourites in this short sales movie. "Proteus is without a doubt the best schematic entry, PCB design, and simulation package for the money. We are very pleased with the product and recommended it to anyone that wants a high end tool package for a reasonable price, you won't be disappointed with Proteus -- in addition, their customer support is #1, their techs are expert at PCB layout and schematic entry and can help you with any problems you might have with their tool."
