At this point we're just trying to formalize the functional requirements of circuit board design. There are many options to making this more programmatic. The easiest way is just to have a script that generates these input specs. The more desirable way is to embed the input spec into a programming language ala EDSL. Also, remember that with an interactive dual view interface, you can make adjustments to the input spec and see the visual results on the circuit board quickly. This gives the best of both worlds. We are using such an interface internally to design packages, symbols, and boards.
