Method and apparatus for providing a presumptive drafting solution

An apparatus for providing a presumptive drafting solution in a computer system comprising:

• (a) a computer system having a memory, a display device, and a cursor control device coupled thereto;
• (b) a computer drawing program executing on the computer system, wherein the computer drawing program:
• (i) maintains a prior solution list of one or more prior drawing solutions of a computer drawing program, wherein each of the one or more prior drawing solutions has been previously accepted and previously utilized by a user as a drawing solution;
• (ii) receives input from the cursor control device relating to a first geometric entity of one or more drawings;
• (iii) identifies, based on the input, a current list of one or more potential drawing solutions for the first geometric entity;
• (iv) compares the current list to the prior solution list to determine a most relevant solution from the prior solution list, wherein the comparing comprises comparing solution attributes from the prior drawing solutions to solution attributes of the current list;
• and
• (v) provides and displays, for the first geometric entity, the most relevant solution, wherein:
• (1) the prior solution list is sorted based on solutions previously selected more often by a user;
• (2) the most relevant solution comprises the prior drawing solution selected most of ten in the past;
• and
• (vi) updates an order of the sorted prior solution list whenever one of the prior drawing solutions is accepted or rejected by a user, thereby resulting in a self-correcting prior solution list.
