ABSTRACT:
A system and method is presented for resolving missing graphical symbols in computer-aided design of integrated circuits during schematic migration. The system inserts a substitute target graphical symbol for the missing graphical symbol, or creates and inserts a dummy target symbol, such as a resistor network that maintains the electrical continuity of the target schematic.
