Abstract: A computer-based method is disclosed of creating a visual representation of a threaded feature on a three-dimensional (3D) modelled object in a computer-aided design environment. The method includes constructing a helical curve and start and end circles for a threaded feature in a 3D modelled object, trimming the helical curve to conform to a geometry of the modelled object, identifying a boundary of the trimmed helical curve; and displaying a cosmetic thread to visually represent the threaded feature based on the trimmed helical curve and the identified boundaries of the trimmed helical curve.

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.

Abstract: A method for selecting a plurality of edges or faces of a displayed modeled object in a computer-aided design (CAD) system extracts a plurality of features, each feature including a measurable numeric property of one or more of edges or faces of the modeled object. The features are scaled, and a selection of a seed edge or a seed face is received. A suggested edge or face is chosen based upon the seed edge or seed face, and a graphical indication of the suggested edge or face is displayed on the modeled object.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a digital representation of an image and generating CAD sketches from it. The number of surfaces in a CAD model depends upon the number entities at the sketch level. The method keeps the number of created sketch entities and constraints to a minimum. The method includes a scalable approach for a range of images. Each contour is represented by a sequence of points following a path corresponding to a boundary in the image. The method includes classifying each point in a particular one of the contours as a curve region or a corner region contour point, thereby segmenting the contour into plurality of curve regions separated by corner regions. The method includes optimally fitting a curve to each one of the curve regions to create the best possible representation of the curve region. Additionally, the refine algorithm automatically improves the fit wherever needed.

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 computer-based method is disclosed of wrapping a two-dimensional (2D) sketch onto a three-dimensional (3D) model. The method includes placing the 2D sketch onto a 2D grid, transforming the 2D grid to an initial location relative to the 3D model, mapping the 2D grid onto the 3D model to produce a 3D grid wrapped around the 3D model, evaluating the 2D sketch onto the 3D grid to produce a 3D image wrapped around the 3D model, wherein the 3D image wrapped around the 3D model corresponds to (e.g., has a similar appearance to, and was generated from) the 2D sketch, and creating one or more curves on the 3D model by projecting the 3D image onto the 3D model.

Abstract: A computer-based method includes enabling a user to create or select a geometric entity in a design in a computer-aided design program, predicting a location and orientation in the design for a copy of the geometric entity, and displaying, as a suggestion to the user, a visual representation of the copy of the geometric entity in the predicted location and orientation in the design.

Abstract: An efficient wire route is determined through an assembly avoiding collisions with a plurality of electrical-mechanical assembly components. A first wire route termination location and a second wire route termination location in a received three dimensional (3D) model of the assembly. The received 3D model is converted into a volume model distinguishing between occupied and available space. A wire route is found from the first wire route termination location through the assembly available space to the second wire route termination location, and an image of the wire route in the model of the assembly is displayed.
