Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for implementing group legal placement on rows and grids for an electronic design. These techniques identify a group comprising a plurality of instances. A proxy is identified from the plurality of instances. The group is placed in a row region based in part or in whole upon a plurality of permissible characteristics for the proxy without considering permissible characteristics of one or more remaining instances in the group. A group legality may be performed to determine whether the group is placed in the row region in a group legal manner.
