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.
Claims21
A computer-based method comprising:
- 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.
A computer comprising:
- a computer display;
- a computer processor;
- and
- computer-based memory coupled to the computer processor, wherein the computer-based memory stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, causes the computer processor to:
- enable a user to create or select a geometric entity in a design in a computer-aided design program;
- predict a location and orientation in the design for a copy of the geometric entity;
- and
- display on the display device, 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.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium that stores instructions executable by a processor to perform the steps comprising:
- 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 on a display device, 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.
