Abstract: The SPRINT system; for the design of printed circuit boards is a collection of programs that allows designers to interactively design two-sided boards using a Tektronix 4013 graphics terminal. The major parts of the system are: a compiler for SDL, the Structure Design Language, an interactive component placement program, an interactive manual conductor routing program, an automatic batch router, a via elimination program and a set of artwork generation programs.
