Methods, systems, and computer-program products for item selection and positioning suitable for high-altitude and context sensitive editing of electrical circuits

摘要

Methods, systems, computer program products for editing electrical circuits that facilitate and speed the layout of electrical circuits. Embodiments provide high-altitude editing capabilities to the user that enable the user to more easily select circuit items in congested layouts and schematic diagrams, and modify and arrange circuit items with respect to one another in congested layouts and schematic diagrams. Additional embodiments are directed to enabling EDA commands and the like to have context sensitivity, neighborhood awareness, and/or an ability to anticipate intentions of the user.
