Abstract:

The present embodiments relate to reconfiguration of a schematic. According to some aspects, embodiments relate to a method in which a schematic of a circuit is displayed on a graphical user interface of a computing device. The schematic can include a plurality of circuit objects, and at least one interconnect connecting the plurality of circuit objects to define a circuit connectivity. The method further includes defining a schematic reference point on the schematic. The method also includes determining a distance of each circuit object of the plurality of circuit objects from the schematic reference point. The method also includes increasing the distance of each circuit object of the plurality of circuit objects from the schematic reference point relative to a respective size of each circuit object, wherein increasing the distance includes multiplying the distance by a scaling factor. The at least one interconnect is reconfigured to maintain circuit connectivity.
