Abstract:
1. A printed circuit board design instruction support device that supports printed circuit board design between a circuit design, and a printed circuit board design, said device comprising: means for reading a circuit diagram designed by the circuit design; means for storing design instruction information regarding the printed circuit board design and keywords, which are associated with said design instruction information and set corresponding to the type of items included in said circuit diagram; means for extracting keywords corresponding to the type of items included in the read circuit diagram and automatically displaying design instruction information associated with the extracted keywords, when the circuit diagram is read by said reading means; and means for extracting damping resistances including the attribute of series connection from the circuit diagram read by said reading means, judging whether or not said resistances are dumping resistances by discriminating whether or not items connected to the pins of the extracted resistances are ICs, and automatically extracting damping resistances that are correctly arranged based on a design rule in arranging and target ICs of the resistances, from the circuit diagram read by said reading means, wherein said design instruction is made up of design implementation information showing information whether or not a circuit board designed was performed according to a design instruction and printed circuit board design instruction support implementation information to which check result information of printed circuit board design instruction support is input, and said storing means is database in which design instruction and said keywords are listed in a divided manner.
