Abstract

Some embodiments provide a system that facilitates the creation of a schematic in an electronic design automation (EDA) application. During operation, the system obtains a source point and a destination point in the schematic from a user of the EDA application. Next, the system uses a line-probe-search technique to generate a set of route variants between the source point and the destination point. The system then provides the route variants to the user through a graphical user interface (GUI) in the EDA application and obtains, from the user, a selection of a route variant from the route variants through the GUI. Finally, the system uses the selected route variant as a route in the schematic.
