A method and system for integrally checking a chip layout dataset and a package substrate layout dataset for errors are disclosed. The package substrate layout dataset is converted from a first format into a second format in which the chip layout dataset is provided. The chip layout dataset of the second format is combined with the package substrate layout dataset of the second format into a combined dataset. The combined dataset is then checked for errors or design rule violations.
