Summary:1. Field of the Invention Automated techniques to correct certain rule violations with respect to non-design geometries are used, simplifying and automating the design layout of an electronic circuit, whether embodied as a design encoding or as a fabricated electronic circuit. Correcting minimum spacing rule violations is accomplished by enlarging a design geometry at erroneous boundaries toward one or more non-virtual boundaries of a wide class object of a non-design geometry avoiding one or more shielding areas around one or more virtual edges of the wide class object of the non-design geometry creating an enlarged design geometry; and deducting the enlarged design geometry from the non-design geometry.
