Abstract
Disclosed is an improved method, system, and computer program product for performing layout, placement, and routing for electronic designs. According to some approaches, multiple objects are considered as a collective object or shape, based upon the proximity of one or more of the objects to one or more other objects. The type and/or configuration of the collective object is based, for example, upon the type of rule that is being considered for the layout, placement, or routing operation.
