Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for implementing electronic design layouts with symbolic representations. These techniques determine an abstraction scope of a layout circuit component in a layout of an electronic design by referencing a user input or one or more default settings of the abstraction mechanism and identify first data that are included in or associated with a schematic symbol for the layout circuit component by traversing data from a symbolic representation data source with reference to the abstraction scope with the layout editing mechanism. In addition, these techniques further generate a symbolic representation for the layout circuit component by reproducing at least some of the first data in the layout and perform one or more layout operations on the symbolic representation to improve the layout and to generate a result set for the one or more layout operations.
