Methods, systems, computer program products for editing electrical circuits that facilitate and speed the layout of electrical circuits. Embodiments provide high-altitude editing capabilities to the user that enable the user to more easily select circuit items in congested layouts and schematic diagrams, and modify and arrange circuit items with respect to one another in congested layouts and schematic diagrams. Additional embodiments are directed to enabling EDA commands and the like to have context sensitivity, neighborhood awareness, and/or an ability to anticipate intentions of the user.

Methods, systems, and computer-program products for item selection and positioning suitable for high-altitude and context sensitive editing of electrical circuits

Embodiments of the invention provide system and methods for EDA tools. Specifically, some embodiments of the invention provide an input infrastructure for EDA tools that gathers pertinent information surrounding an input cursor's present locality (or neighborhood) and then analyzes the pertinent information in view of an issued command to automatically determine suitable targets or subsequent operations that a user of the EDA tool may want to select next.
