Abstract
An approach is described for implementing a GUI that provides a user interface for reviewing and correcting design rule violations within a CAD program. According to some embodiments, a user may enter a serial review process which may utilize contextual information to determine where to start that review process. Further, the serial review process may enable the user to review rule violations in an individual manner for a respective object. Furthermore, a dynamic directional violation identifier may be used to identify additional errors in the direction of movement, such as by processing a set of rules and parameters with respect to objects in the direction of movement. The serial review process and the dynamic directional violation identification may be combined in a single process such that as violations are reviewed, and corrections are attempted, they may be verified to determine if they generate additional violations.
