Various embodiments implement multi-fabric designs by using respective EDA tools associated with multiple design fabrics to access their respective native design data. Each EDA tool has access to and processes or manipulates its corresponding native design data; and no EDA tools have the visibility of the entire multi-fabric electronic design. Requests for actions are automatically transmitted among these EDA tools to instantiate desired EDA tools and to descend or ascend the multi-fabric design structure so that native design data in a particular design fabric are processed by the corresponding EDA tool(s) within the context of the other design fabrics. These techniques enable designers to implement, check, verify, simulate, analyze, probe, and netlist the entire electronic design across multiple design fabric.
