Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining a location of one or more feature(s) of one or more electronic component(s) of a circuit arrangement; determining, using a computer, one or more displacement(s), if any, of a location of one or more communication contact(s) associated with the one or more feature(s) of the one or more electronic component(s) of the circuit arrangement, from an expected location for the communication contact(s); and providing one or more corrective communication path(s) of said circuit arrangement, wherein the one or more corrective communication paths are provided by using transformation data, which is based upon the said one or more displacement(s) to update expected communication path layout data defining expected communication paths, in which the expected communication path layout data is updated using a corrective algorithm to provide corrective communication path layout data, and the corrective algorithm defines an erasing region for one or more of the expected communication paths, each of the one or more expected communication paths having a first portion inside the erasing region and a second portion outside the erasing region, erases the expected communication path layout data for the first portion(s) only, and provides a corrective portion for the expected communication path layout data to provide the corrective communication path layout data.
