Abstract

An Electronic Computer Aided Design System provides for concurrent operation of a plurality of design tools which share a common design dataset. Changes made by one program to the design dataset are immediately updated and are automatically reflected in the displayed outputs of the other design tools. A tool manager program allows rule-based automation of the entire system.
