SCHEMATIC CAPTURE TUTORIAL

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this tutorial is to take you through the process of entering a circuit of modest

complexity in order to familiarise you with the techniques required to drive the schematic

capture module in Proteus. The tutorial starts with the easiest topics such as placing and wiring

up components, and then moves on to make use of the more sophisticated editing facilities,

such as creating new library parts.

An accompanying tutorial in the PCB module then continues the project development using the

completed schematic drawn in this tutorial.

For those who want to see something quickly, DSPIC33_REC_SCHEMATIC.pdsprj contains the

completed tutorial circuit but no layout while DSPIC33_REC_UNROUTED.pdsprj and

DSPIC33_REC_COMPLETE.pdsprj both contain a completed schematic and a PCB. All of

these projects can be loaded from the Open Sample command on the Proteus 8 home page

under the tutorials category.

Note that throughout this tutorial (and the documentation as a whole) reference is

made to keyboard shortcuts as a method of executing specific commands. The

shortcuts specified are the default or system keyboard accelerators as provided

when the software is shipped to you. Please be aware that if you have configured
