Abstract:
1. A method for graphically editing process rules for circuit designs, comprising: using a computer system to receive a selection of a circuit design object or a circuit design constraint, wherein the selection comes from a circuit design integrated design environment; using a computer system to query a circuit design object store based on the circuit design object or circuit design selected, wherein the circuit design object store contains a plurality of relationships between circuit design objects and circuit design constraint groups; using a computer system to receive a first list from the circuit design object store, wherein the first list comprises a plurality of circuit design constraint groups based on the selection; using a computer system to display in a graphical user interface the first list received, wherein each circuit design constraint group in the first list is selectable; and when a circuit design constraint group in the first list is selected, performing the operations of:
