Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for dynamically abstracting virtual hierarchies for an electronic design. These techniques identify at least a portion of a layout of an electronic design and a virtual hierarchy in the layout portion according to a value for a display stop level. A plurality of figure groups at one or more virtual hierarchies in the layout portion may also be identified in the layout portion. These techniques select a plurality of layout circuit component designs according to the virtual hierarchy. The layout portion may then be abstracted into an abstracted layout portion at least by displaying the plurality of layout circuit component designs and suppressing one or more remaining layout circuit component designs.
