1. A method of pin assignment in a block in a block-based integrated circuit design process, the method comprising steps of:

  • assigning within the block a plurality of block pins to a respective one of a plurality of first locations;

    placing in the block a plurality of components wherein each of the components is placed relatively proximal to the pins respectively connecting to each of the components;

    moving selected ones of the pins to a respective one of second locations proximal the components connecting to the selected ones of the pins; and

    refining placement of the components with respect to the selected ones of the pins at the second location connecting thereto.
