Abstract
A method for establishing connections by automatically routing a plurality of paths between individual components using initially simple connection path shapes. The method is used to create an interconnection package with better use of wiring space. Each connection, in turn, is removed if previously routed, rerouted and evaluated according to specified penalty costs to minimize undesirable routing characteristics. This method is particularly advantageous in providing automatic path routing in directionally uncommitted planes for wiring highly integrated electric circuits, or the like.
