Computer aided design system and method

A non-transitory computer readable media having computer-executable instructions therein that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for computer aided design (CAD), the operations comprising:

• maintaining a CAD template object comprising a first plurality of attributes and a second plurality of attributes, wherein the first plurality of attributes comprises adjustable attributes, and the second plurality of attributes comprises dependent attributes;
• presenting, via a user interface, a graphic user interface (GUI) regarding the first plurality of attributes, the second plurality of attributes, and a sketch regarding the CAD template object;
• receiving, via the user interface, an input regarding a setpoint value for an adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• applying the setpoint value to the adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• updating the second plurality of attributes based on the setpoint value applied to the adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• presenting, via the user interface, an updated sketch of the CAD template object based on the first plurality of attributes and the second plurality of attributes;
• determining whether the setpoint value for the adjustable attribute is valid by comparing a value of an attribute of the second plurality of attributes to a threshold value;
• and
• subsequent to determining whether the setpoint value of the adjustable attribute is valid, generating, without additional user input, a plurality of solid body CAD objects based on the first plurality of attributes and the second plurality of attributes.

A system for computer aided design (CAD), comprising:

• one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• maintain a CAD template object comprising a first plurality of attributes and a second plurality of attributes, wherein the first plurality of attributes comprises adjustable attributes, and the second plurality of attributes comprises dependent attributes;
• present, via a user interface, a graphic user interface (GUI) regarding the first plurality of attributes, the second plurality of attributes, and a sketch regarding the CAD template object;
• receive, via the user interface, an input regarding a setpoint value for an adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• apply the setpoint value to the adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• update the second plurality of attributes based on the setpoint value applied to the adjustable attribute of the first plurality of attributes;
• present, via the user interface, an updated sketch of the CAD template object based on the first plurality of attributes and the second plurality of attributes;
• determine whether the setpoint value for the adjustable attribute is valid by comparing a value of an attribute of the second plurality of attributes to a threshold value;
• and
• subsequent to determining whether the setpoint value of the adjustable attribute is valid, generate, without additional user input, a plurality of solid body CAD objects based on the first plurality of attributes and the second plurality of attributes.
