Generation and modification of model-based definition elements within drawing graphics sheet of a computer-aided drafting environment

A system comprising:

• a computer comprising:
• a computer processor;
• and
• computer-based memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, wherein the computer-based memory stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer system to perform a process comprising:
• displaying a first two-dimensional view of an object on a sheet on a graphical user interface of a two-dimensional drawing environment in a computer-aided drafting application that is configured to provide access to the two-dimensional drawing environment and a three-dimensional model-based definition environment;
• receiving an annotation attached to a selected geometry on the displayed object in the two-dimensional drawing environment;
• applying a two-dimensional view inverse transformation to the annotation attached to the selected geometry to produce a transformed version of the annotation;
• and
• attaching the transformed version of the annotation to a geometry in a three-dimensional version of the object in the three-dimensional model-based definition environment.
