Abstract
A method is provided for generation of a circuit design. A set of design assistance rules is retrieved from a database. Each design assistance rule in the set includes a list of design objects to which the design assistance rule applies, a set of criteria to be satisfied by the circuit design before the design assistance rule may be applied, a set of configuration options, and an executable script configured to perform an automated configuration of the circuit design. In response to a change in the circuit design, applicable design assistance rules are determined based on the corresponding sets of criteria. In response to determining that one or more design assistance rules are applicable, data indicating that the one or more design assistance rules are available is output. In response to input that selects a design assistance rule the executable script corresponding to the selected design assistance rule is executed.
