Creating a New Project
We shall assume at this point that you have installed the Proteus 8 software package.
To start the software, click on the Start button and select Programs, Proteus 8 Professional and
then the Proteus 8 application. The main application will then load and run and you will be
presented with the Proteus home page.
If you have a Demonstration copy of the software you can start the Proteus
application via the Proteus 8 Demonstration tab from the Start Menu.
In order to create a schematic we must first create a project. Since this tutorial is partnered with
the PCB tutorial we will create a project for schematic/PCB.
Start by pressing the new project button near the top of the home page in Proteus.
On the first page of the wizard specify a name and path for the project.
We need a schematic so check the box at the top of the next step and then choose the default
template.
