Parts represent the physical components on the PCB whilst elements represent the logical components on the schematic.
The ISIS and ARES modules share a common database (CDB) which contains information about all the parts and elements in the project. Other features of the software such as Design Explorer, the 3D viewer and maximized graph windows are also presented as top level application modules which again can be held in a single frame or dragged onto another monitor to give a side-by-side view. Single frame mode will tend to suit laptop users better whilst multi-frame mode makes the best use of multi-monitor desktop setups. They can be run in a single window (tabbed mode) or in two separate 'frames' to give a look and feel similar to that in previous versions. The integrated application framework means that ISIS and ARES are now modules with a single application (PDS.EXE) rather than being separate applications in their own right.
