Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for use with an electronic design. Embodiments may include displaying, at a graphical user interface, at least a portion of the electronic design and receiving a selection of a subcircuit at a first position of the graphical user interface. In response to a user input, embodiments may include transitioning the subcircuit from the first position to a second position of the graphical user interface and determining one or more direct and indirect connections resulting from a potential placement at the second position. Embodiments may include determining an influence metric by applying an optimized connectivity rules definition upon the potential placement at the second position and the one or more direct and indirect connections. Embodiments may also include displaying feedback at the graphical user interface based upon, at least in part, the influence metric.
