Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for multi-user, at least partially concurrent, electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include storing a lock list at a client computing device, wherein the lock list includes objects associated with an electronic design that have been locked or unlocked. Embodiments may further include receiving a user input corresponding to a lock/unlock request associated with an object of the design, wherein the design is accessible by multiple users in an at least partially concurrent manner. Embodiments may include transmitting the lock/unlock request to a server computing device. Embodiments may further include comparing the user input corresponding to at least one of the lock request or unlock request with the lock list and determining whether to lock or unlock the object based upon, at least in part, the comparison, wherein determining does not include receiving server authorization.
