Abstract :
A stick diagram extraction program SKELETON has been developed to make use of an existing handcrafted layout in a symbolic circuit layout system. It transforms a physical layout into an equivalent stick diagram. The concepts of centralized terminals and dispersed terminals are used for technology change and scaling. A heuristic procedure is presented to reduce jogs.<>
