Proteus Version 7.10 ISIS & ARES Core Applications: Hardware Accelerated Direct2D graphics engine*
- Lightning fast, flicker free screen redraws.
- Smooth scrolling and animated object highlighting.
- Crisp, fully anti-aliased presentation of text and graphics.
- Current layer is always drawn at the top of the view.
- User control of layer transparency.
- Option to display full Solder Resist and Solder Mask layers including shapes contributed by the pad styles. Major overhaul of DXF Importer in ARES to improve support and compatibility with other packages. Dynamic ratsnest during route placement indicates closest net object to track being placed. Automatic dimming of objects during placement helps identify valid route destinations. Improved zone handling to provide more precise clearances for rotated objects. Various smaller user requests including:
- Ability to specify diagonal ('X') type thermal reliefs on a pad.
- Visibility of occupancy layer graphics during placement and movement of footprints.
- Ratsnest lines being shown in their designated colours during component placement and movement.
- Block selections which include locked objects provide an option to tag all but locked objects before an operation.
* These features are dependent on the ability of your graphics card / graphics driver to support Direct2D in hardware. This is supported as standard in Windows7 and can be added for Vista SP2. Direct2D is not supported on Windows XP, although you may be able to use OpenGL mode in this case.

Proteus Version 7.9ISIS & 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 allow precise positioning while obeying board constraints. Pad Style enhancements in ARES.
- New chamfer and bend radius parameters on through hole DIL pads allowing rounded rectangles or chamfered pads.
- Design rule system and resist plot generation updated to cater for the new pad topologies.
- Pads are now allowed to have a specified negative guard gap. '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. The Pre-Production Checker now includes clickable co-ordinates allowing you to navigate directly to errors on the layout.
