1. A method for enabling the design of a multi-component system, said method comprising the steps of:

  • a) providing a menu of component types;

    b) providing, for each of said component types, a menu of specific component objects, said specific component objects including design guideline properties;

    c) selecting a component type;

    d) selecting a specific component object;

    e) displaying an image of said selected specific component object;

    f) selecting spatial properties of said image of said selected specific component object;

    g) providing data corresponding to a system design area;

    h) placing said image, with the selected spatial properties, of said selected specific component object on said system design area;

    i) moving said image of said selected specific component object to a desired position in said system design area;

    j) establishing, if at least one other image of a specific component object is present in said system design area, a relationship between said image of said selected specific component object and one other image of a specific component object, said relationship incorporating said design guideline properties;

    k) repeating steps c) through j) until a design of the multi-component system is completed.
