Abstract
A method of circuit design includes receiving a user input selecting a first interface of a circuit block of a circuit design as a source interface in creating a connection within the circuit design and selecting a second interface of the circuit design as a candidate destination interface for the connection using a processor. The method further includes determining compatibility between the second interface and the first interface and indicating compatibility of the second interface with the first interface for the connection.
