Abstract
A method of performing virtual connectivity change between first and second nets associated with an integrated circuit is presented. The method includes generating a first top view and a first perspective views of a layout of the integrated circuit when a computer is invoked to perform the virtual connectivity change. The method further includes defining layers associated with the first and second nets, and defining a boundary of the virtual connectivity change. The method further includes performing the virtual connectivity change between the first and second nets within the boundary, and generating a second top view and a second perspective view of the layout of the integrated circuit after the virtual connectivity change.
