Abstract

In a method for checking layout of a printed circuit board (PCB) using an electronic device, a power line is selected from a layout diagram of the PCB. The method searches for one or more signal lines which are overlapping with the selected power line from the layout diagram of the PCB. The method further locates attribute data of the searched signal lines and the selected power line in the layout diagram of the PCB, and displays the attribute data of the searched signal lines and the selected power line on a display device of the electronic device.
