Abstract
A method is proposed for improving the layout efficiency in laying out electronic components, which is applicable to information processing equipment, to accelerate the layout of electronic components. First, a first two-dimensional plan view including various electronic component members is preset using a drafting software platform. Subsequently, the two-dimensional plan view is converted to a text file and all the relevant data of the electronic components contained in the two-dimensional plan view are encoded in the text file. Then, all of the electronic component members contained in the first two-dimensional plan view are displayed in a second two-dimensional plan view, and a function selection menu is generated by an arithmetic process. Therewith, a user is able to select the data of the electronic component contained in the text file via the function selection menu to perform the layout operations for a printed circuit board.
