The present disclosure relates to a system and method for use in an electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include receiving, using a processor, one or more DFM rules files from at least one PCB fabricator and importing the one or more DFM rules files to a DFM rule aggregator database. Embodiments may also include grouping one or more rules associated with the one or more DFM rules files using an automated or manual operation. Embodiments may further include performing automatic or manual rule aggregation on the grouped rules based upon, at least in part, rules aggregation information including a DFM template file.

System and method for consolidating and applying manufacturing constraints

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for use in an electronic circuit design. Embodiments may include an electronic computer aided design ('CAD') system configured to receive one or more design rules and to receive one or more manufacturing rules. The CAD system may be further configured to analyze design database objects from the electronic design with respect to the manufacturing rules. The CAD system may generate a manufacturing output file, based upon, at least in part, the analyzing. Embodiments may also include a signoff computer aided manufacturing ('CAM') station configured to receive the manufacturing output file. The CAM station may be configured to attempt to validate the manufacturing output file.
