Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) is designed by generating a circuit diagram of the IC using one or more blocks. An information repository is provided that contains layout information that is associated with one or more template blocks. A symbol layout abstraction model is then generated by associating the layout information that is associated with one or more of the template blocks with at least one of the circuit diagram blocks of the IC.
