Abstract: A computer-aided design (CAD) system and corresponding method enable users to manage and share information related to a three-dimensional (3D) context of a 3D CAD model with ease. The method creates a 3D-link targeting the 3D context. The 3D-link includes a static link and a variable link. The static link re-directs to the variable link in response to a user opening the 3D-link. The variable link enables (i) the 3D CAD model to be located and opened and (ii) the 3D context to be displayed within the 3D CAD model. The method stores the 3D-link in a database. The 3D-link enables the 3D context to be shared between or among users via sharing of the 3D-link from the database. The 3D-link plays an important role in helping design engineers collaborate by eliminating the need to create pictures or copies of 3D models that may become outdated.

Abstract: A method for mating a user selected first component of a computer aided drafting application assembly to a second component detects a user drag of the first component. A user pause of the drag for a predetermined interval is detected at a pause location. A plurality of first component surfaces and a plurality of second component surfaces are identified. The first component surfaces are compared with the second component surfaces, and a mating is suggested between a first component surface and a second component surface.

Abstract: A method in a computer aided drafting application for replicating a component mating in a modeled assembly includes examining constraints and geometry surrounding a selected component of the component mating in a first surface of the assembly. A first descriptor with a plurality of numerical characteristics of the constraints and geometry is captured. The first descriptor is set as a first seed descriptor. A potential first target geometry in the region of the first face is examined and a first target descriptor is computed according to the first target geometry. If first seed descriptor matches the first target descriptor, an instance of a first target component is created according to the first target descriptor.
