Abstract
A system and method are provided for selective application and expeditious reconciliation of constraints within a hierarchy of circuit design constraints. A semi-transparent constraint editor user interface is provided in contextual registration near detected violations during editing interactions with a circuit design. The constraint editor provides a simplified representation of a lookup order of a hierarchy of constraints applicable to an object related to the detected violation. The user is then able to easily modify constrained values within the lookup order, modify the lookup order, or modify the editing interaction to reconcile the violation expeditiously all while maintaining context within the circuit design.
