ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for aiding system design with a computer. The system is decomposed into a plurality of objects. The objects may have a parent-child hierarchical relationship wherein one or more of the child objects each define a portion of a parent object. A plurality of text files are generated. Information links may be generated between the objects and the text files on a plurality of different hierarchical levels, so that each object is associable with multiple ones of the text files.
