The ARES (Advanced Routing and Editing Software) module in this build features several enhancements:
[Schematic Capture] ──(Netlist Export)──> [PCB Layout System] │ │ (Proteus VSM) (Curved Mitring) ▼ ▼ [Firmware Debug] [3D STEP Model] 1. Overhauled Curved Route Editing
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. Proteus Professional 8.15 SP1 Build 34318
Debug firmware directly within the schematic environment using breakpoints and variable watches. Key Features in Build 34318
Copper zone recalculations are significantly faster, preventing lag during complex board designs. The ARES (Advanced Routing and Editing Software) module
Record macros for actions like "Place via at cursor" or "Switch layer to Bottom" to speed up manual routing.
