Abstract

Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for implementing legal routing tracks across virtual hierarchies and legal placement patterns. These techniques execute a sequence of instructions to identify at least a layout or a portion thereof and identify a plurality of layout devices in the layout or the portion thereof. These techniques further generate a figure group at least by enclosing the plurality of layout devices within a boundary for the figure group. These techniques may modify layout devices in a placement row without disturbing compliance of one or more design rules with which the legal device pattern complies when generated.
