Today we will talk about how to place logo or other graphics on PCB in Proteus ARES. After we design a PCB its important to place logo of your company on the PCB so that people know who made it. In ARES we can do some artwork using the built-in graphics tools like drawing a circle, line, arc, rectangles etc. but its not possible to make your company logo using these tools. So you have to place your company logo using import features in ARES. Let’s place a logo on a PCB to illustrate the process.
First of all you need to convert your company’s logo to monochromatic bmp format in order to import it to ARES. you can do the conversion either with Paint (a small photo editing program that comes with Windows) or any other online or offline tool you can find. I have converted the logo to monochromatic bmp using Paint in Windows using the following procedure…
- Open the logo image with Paint
- From the Save As choose the Save as type “Monochromatic Bitmap” from the drop down menu and Click Save.
- From the File menu select Import Bitmap
- Navigate to the .bmp image you have saved and import it
- The image will be attached with the mouse place it wherever you want and resize if required.
That’s it you can import any image you want to place on the PCB but first you have to convert it to Monochromatic Bitmap format.
After placing and re-sizing the image the Board looks like as below
