Abstract

A process in a computer system for generating a high level schematic from a project schematic of basic components which comprises scanning the project schematic for a predetermined cell, wherein the cell is made up of a select group of components and their interconnections, and replacing the select group of components on every occurrence that it is found in the project schematic by a cell symbol having input and outputs to generate the high level schematic. The process may also be repeated for other predetermined cells which may be selected from a library or created by the user.
