Abstract

Some embodiments provide a system that provides design rule checking in an electronic design automation (EDA) application. During operation, the system detects a change to a schematic by a user of the EDA application. Next, the system automatically applies a set of dynamic design rules to the schematic upon detecting the change. Finally, the system notifies the user of a rule violation if the schematic violates one or more of the dynamic design rules. The system allows the user to specify which dynamic rules to apply when the user is modifying the schematic.
