Abstract
A method for determining disposition of via hole on printed circuit board (PCB) includes the steps of: providing a PCB on which is disposed with a geometric layout and a via hole; providing a line on the PCB for intersecting the geometric layout to form a plurality of points of intersection; defining line segments by segmenting the line at each of the points of intersection to form a plurality of line segments; deleting some of the line segments having one end not being point of intersection for the geometric layout to form a plurality of segmented regions; searching a closed region by repeatedly searching region from any one of the points in the plurality of segmented regions; determining whether a closed region is a smallest closed region; determining whether a via hole is located within the smallest closed region.
