US 9,542,084 B1 · System and method for generating vias in an electronic design by automatically using a hovering cursor indication

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for electronic design automation. The method may include providing, using one or more computing devices, an electronic design. The method may further include receiving an indication that a cursor is hovering over an overlap associated with the electronic design and in response to receiving the indication, computing one or more via parameters, based upon, at least in part, a topology associated with the overlap. The method may also include displaying, at a graphical user interface, a potential via and allowing, at the graphical user interface, adjustments to the one or more via parameters.

A computer-implemented method in an electronic design comprising:

providing, using one or more computing devices, an electronic design;
receiving an indication that a cursor is hovering over an overlap associated with the electronic design;
in response to receiving the indication, computing one or more via parameters, based upon, at least in part, a topology associated with the overlap;
displaying, at a graphical user interface, a potential via;
allowing, at the graphical user interface, adjustments to the one or more via parameters;
and
displaying one or more icons within the overlap at the graphical user interface wherein each of the one or more icons correspond to an associated, pre-set, user-selectable graphical user interface option.
