1. A method comprising:

  • receiving a printed circuit board design in a memory;

    generating, using a processor, multiple schematic windows of the printed circuit board design;

    generating, using the processor, multiple layout windows of the printed circuit board design;

    graphically outputting a layout window depicting an entire layout of the printed circuit board design;

    receiving, via a user interface, a user selection of a sub-portion of the printed circuit board design from the entire layout of the printed circuit board design;

    generating a first of multiple layout windows and a first of multiple schematic windows upon receiving the user selection;

    graphically outputting the multiple schematic windows of the printed circuit board design simultaneously with graphically outputting the multiple layout windows of the printed circuit board design,wherein the first of the schematic windows is paired with the first of the layout windows, the paired windows depicting representations of the selected sub-portion of the printed circuit board design;

    receiving, via a user interface, a user selection of a first component of the first of the layout windows; and

    outputting a component of the first of the schematic windows corresponding to the selected first component of the paired first of the layout windows in response to receiving the user selection of the first component.
