Abstract:
1. A system for adaptively maintaining a visual cue for associated circuitry relating to a schematically represented circuit object of an electronic circuit design, comprising: a circuit editing tool accessing a graphic database to electronically render schematic representations of one or more circuit objects responsive to user input, said circuit editing tool having a graphic user interface and a display for graphically displaying the schematic representations on one or more graphic pages; a capture unit coupled to said circuit editing tool, said capture unit being selectively actuated to acquire associated circuitry corresponding to at least one selected circuit object; a visual cue management unit coupled to said capture unit and said circuit editing tool, said visual cue management unit being programmably configured to automatically: monitor a plurality of predetermined attributes for each associated circuitry acquired from the at least one selected circuit object; and, adaptively generate predetermined graphic indicia for each said predetermined attribute for concurrent display with the schematic representation of the at least one selected circuit object; and, a visual cue navigation unit coupled to visual cue management unit and said circuit editing tool, said visual cue navigation unit maintaining a user-selectable actuation button on said graphic user interface for at least one of said predetermined graphic indicia displayed.
