Abstract
A wiring design system when applied to wiring boards having various wiring restrictions, has a rough wiring plan at the floor plan stage so as to complete a wiring design satisfying the wiring restrictions in a short period of time while evaluating the congestion degree of the wiring. Logical connection information for wiring parts and signal group information for handling the connection information is input as a signal group. The signal group is handled as a wiring unit for a wiring path search and the signal group is divided into smaller groups. An optimum path is then determined in such a way that the divided smaller groups run adjacent to one another whenever appropriate.
