A system and apparatus for using hierarchically organized data to design semiconductor integrated circuits is herein disclosed wherein a plurality of macros and circuit logic cells containing circuit component parameter information are cross referenced using two types of pointers. An intermediate table 27 in a logic development file 5 stores information relating to a general controlling macro "CHIP", user defined macros A, B, and also stores the parameter information relating to every macro. A cell table 28 stores circuit cells C, D, E, F. The macro "CHIP" A, B, and cells, and the macro and cell are cross referenced by multi-table and an identical table pointer.
