Schematic Capture Features
Proteus capture combines a powerful design environment with full support for design re-use, assembly variants and a complete BOM reporting sub-system.
Whether you are making PCB's or simulating embedded systems our schematic capture contains all the electronic design tools you need.
Powerful schematic capture tools to simplify electronic product design.
With over 35 years of continuous development and innovation, our focus remains on adding functionality while maintaining a simple, clean user interface to help at all stages of the PCB Design workflow.
Making Connections
Whether you prefer making connections with wires between components or by placing terminals on the end of pins, Proteus makes the job easy. Our wire placement algorithm lets users direct wire placement by mouse movement while terminals can be quickly connected by touch to the pin ends.
Explore WiringLibraries
Proteus contains over 50,000 components and footprints in the libraries. We also provide import capabilities providing access to over 15 million parts from 3rd Party Vendors such as Ultra-Librarian, Samacsys and SnapEDA.
Explore LibrariesProject Clips
Project Clips allow you to save sections of schematic and their corresponding PCB layout to disk and then import them back into future projects. Both the schematic and pcb parts of the project clip are imported and placed as single entities with no annotation or wiring required.
Explore Project ClipsAssembly Variants
Assembly Variants provide a simple method of managing multiple product configurations based on a single schematic and PCB. Users can specify either the fitted status or an alternative pin compatible part for each component in an assembly variants.
Explore Assembly VariantsBill of Materials
The Bill of Materials operates in its own application window with a WYSIWYG view of the report. Component properties can be added/removed or edited directly from the editor view of the BOM module. The final output can be to print, Excel or PDF as you wish.
Explore Bill of MatieralsDesign Explorer
The Design Explorer provides the user with a full list of components and their associated nets, the ability to view these on both the schematic and the PCB and details regarding the packaging information and net information.
Explore Design ExplorerProject Notes
The documentation center for your PCB Design product. Use our pre-supplied templates for common report types or apply a rich set of data objects that make it quick and easy to create custom reports.
