EP1162575A3

Tool for three-dimensional analysis of a drawing

Abstract

A method and system for assisting a user in identifying an element of an object in various displayed views in a drawing of the object. A method is employed that will allow automatic highlighting of a selected edge of an object in each view, as well as separately highlighting the edges of faces of an object adjoining the selected edge. The process facilitates the user's comprehension of the three dimensional geometry of the object. The invention is particularly suited to computer-aided design, computer aided manufacturing, and computer aided engineering.
