What's New In Proteus Design Suite 7.9
The following summarises the main feature enhancements in the Version 7.9 release. New peripheral simulation models are detailed here whilst minor system enhancements and modifications are announced in the members area of the support forums.
ISIS and ARES Core Applications
New Follow Me Routing system in ARES
Fully design rule aware track placement.
Designed to follow the path of the mouse from source to destination.
Rewind by moving the mouse backwards over existing track during placement.
Dropping vias is also design rule aware preventing illegal placement.
Floating vias on the end of the track being placed allows for precise positioning while obeying board constraints.
Pad Style Enhancements in ARES
New chamfer and bend radius parameters on through hole DIL pads.
Design rule system and resist plot generation updated to cater for new pad topologies.
Pads are now allowed to have a specified negative guard gap.
Other Features and Changes
Clickable co-ordinates in the Pre-production checker allow easy navigation and inspection of reported problems.
'Move-to' command added for block selection operations on the context menu. This allows absolute positioning of blocks of circuitry and, together with use of the false origin, �also allows either for a relative offset of a block.
2D Graphics placement enabled in the gerber viewer, allowing for tab routes during panelisation.
Added option to apply text styles to all 2D text on the layout via the Text Styles command on the Technology Menu.
Added additional ERC check in ISIS to detect singular net labels. This normally happens when a terminal name has been mistyped.
