Abstract
A system and method for creating a datum reference frame includes selecting a first datum, wherein the first datum comprises a plurality of faces. A first definition for the selected first datum is determined. One or more second datums, based on the determined first definition, are automatically determined, wherein the second datum comprises a plurality of faces. The second datum is selected. A second definition for the selected second datum is determined. One or more third datums based on the determined second definition, wherein the third datum comprises a plurality of faces, are automatically determined. The third datum is selected.
Claims28
A method for creating a datum reference frame, comprising:
- selecting a first datum, wherein the first datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- determining a first definition for the selected first datum;
- automatically determining a set of one or more valid second datums based on the determined first definition, wherein the second datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- selecting the second datum from the set of valid second datums;
- determining a second definition for the selected second datum;
- automatically determining a set of one or more valid third datums based on the determined second definition, wherein the third datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- and
- selecting the third datum from the set of valid third datums.
A system for creating a datum reference frame, the system comprising logic encoded in media and operable to:
- select a first datum, wherein the first datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- determine a first definition for the selected first datum;
- automatically determine a set of one or more second valid datums based on the determined first definition, wherein the second datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- select the second datum from the set of valid second datums;
- determine a second definition for the selected second datum;
- automatically determine a set of one or more valid third datums based on the determined second definition, wherein the third datum comprises a plurality of faces;
- and
- select the third datum from the set of valid third datums.
