Abstract
A computing system includes a drawing unit and a layout unit. The computing system sets components parameters to components of a circuit diagram of a printed circuit board (PCB). The drawing unit draws the circuit diagram by using the components with the components parameters. If the drawing unit wants to use a component more than once, the computing system copies the component and the corresponding components parameters. The drawing unit uses the copied components and the corresponding parameters. If the circuit diagram has been drawn, the layout unit loads the circuit diagram and wires the PCB according to the components and the components parameters in the circuit diagram.
