Abstract
Methods and systems for implementing track pattern for electronic designs are disclosed. The method identifies a first track in a design and viable implementing options for the first track. When adding a second track to the track pattern, the method determines whether the second track corresponds to the viable implementing options for the track. The second track is inserted to the track pattern and situated immediately adjacent to the first track if the second track is determined to correspond to a viable implementing option for the first track. One or more intermediate tracks may be inserted immediately adjacent to the first track before inserting the second track to produce a legal track pattern. Tracks may be removed from a track pattern. One or more intermediate tracks may be inserted into the space occupied by a track being removed to ensure track pattern's compliance with design rules after the track removal.
