ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE For successively establishing point-to-point electrical connections between pin terminals, a path is successively searched for each pin terminal pair and a connection is established if the searched path is not intercepted by obstructing paths. If the attempt fails, a plurality of ratability indices are generated to evaluate candidate paths. The routability index is a measure of the likelihood of finding a new path from each pin terminal through the obstructing paths, and is specifically represented by the number of paths that can be passed through a removed segment of a given obstructing path. Priorities of different levels are derived from the routability indices and are assigned to the obstructing paths which are to be ripped up to create a path for a new connection. One of the prioritized obstructing paths is selected according to the priorities and is removed to permit a new path to be searched for in order to determine if it is intercepted by further obstructing paths. If the new path is found, a connection is established; if not, the removed obstructing path is replaced and a prioritized obstructing path of lower priority is removed and a further new path is searched.
