Simultaneously viewing multi paired schematic and layout windows on printed circuit board (PCB) design software and tools

摘要

A method according to one embodiment includes receiving a printed circuit board design in a memory; generating, using a processor, multiple schematic windows of the printed circuit board design; generating, using the processor, multiple layout windows of the printed circuit board design; and outputting the multiple schematic windows of the printed circuit board design simultaneously with outputting the multiple layout windows of the printed circuit board design. A first of the schematic windows is paired with a first of the layout windows, the paired windows depicting representations of a common sub-portion of the printed circuit board design.
