20140358491 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EDITING FEATURES - Various disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, and computer-readable media for editing features using a PLM data processing system. A method includes receiving a geometric model including a plurality of parts. Each part includes one or more features having one or more feature attributes. Each part is stored within a separate part file. The method includes identifying a source feature in one of the parts. The source feature is associated with a modified feature attribute. The method includes identifying a compatible target feature in one or more of the parts. The method includes modifying a feature attribute of the target feature to correspond to the modified feature attribute that is associated with the source feature. | 12-04-2014 |
20150346711 | INTELLIGENT CONSTRAINT SELECTION FOR POSITIONING TASKS - A method for editing a position of a selected design element in a constraint network. The method includes receiving the selected design element in a geometric model from a user, searching a database for a positioning group related to the selected design element, and adding the selected design element and the positioning group related to the selected design element into a work collection. The method then includes searching the database a second time for reference positioning groups and reference design elements referenced by constraints of the positioning group and design elements in the work collection and adding the reference positioning groups and the reference design elements discovered by the second searching into a context collection. The method then further includes loading all the constraints for the positioning groups and the design elements which were added to the work collection. | 12-03-2015 |
20150347567 | METHOD FOR CREATION AND EDITING OF A MASSIVE CONSTRAINT NETWORK - A method for editing a position of a selected design element in a constraint network. The method includes receiving a selection of a design element in a geometric model from a user. The method also includes searching a database for a positioning group related to the selected design element. The method then includes displaying the positioning group related to the selected design element to the user. The method further includes receiving an updated positioning group from the user. The method finally includes storing the updated positioning group to the database. | 12-03-2015 |
20150363048 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TOUCH RIBBON INTERACTION - Methods for user interaction and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes displaying a user interface that includes a menu bar having a plurality of tabs, each associated with at least one sub-menu item, and including an active tab and at least one non-active tab. The method includes displaying an active ribbon that includes the sub-menu items associated with the active tab and receiving an interaction input. The method includes scrolling the active ribbon to display additional sub-menu items based on the interaction input, including simultaneously displaying sub-menu items associated with the active tab and at least one sub-menu item associated with a non-active tab. The method includes designating a next adjacent non-active tab as the active tab, and designating the previous active tab as a non-active tab, when at least half of the additional sub-menu items are sub-menu items associated with the next adjacent non-active tab. | 12-17-2015 |
20150363049 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCED-SIZE MENU RIBBON - Methods for converting a menu ribbon interface and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes executing an application. The method includes receiving a selection of a first menu ribbon to convert and converting the first menu ribbon to produce a reduced-size menu ribbon. The method includes displaying the reduced-size menu ribbon in the application. | 12-17-2015 |
20150363371 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE USER INTERFACE SCALING - Methods for displaying user interface (UI) elements in a data processing system and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes executing an application by the data processing system. The method includes receiving stored UI configuration information and displaying at least one UI element by the data processing system and in the application according to the UI configuration information. | 12-17-2015 |
20160117418 | RULE-BASED CONSTRAINT INTERACTION IN GEOMETRIC MODELS - Methods for constraining a geometric model and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes creating a rigid sketch group that includes some or all of the plurality of curves and receiving a user selection of first option rules or second option rules. The method includes editing the rigid sketch group according to the selected first option rules or second option rules. The method includes displaying the geometric model by the data processing system, including displaying the edited rigid sketch group. | 04-28-2016 |
20160125099 | MODIFYING CONSTRAINED AND UNCONSTRAINED CURVE NETWORKS - Methods for modifying geometric models and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a geometric model, the geometric model including a plurality of curves. The method includes receiving a selection of one or more curves of the plurality of curves, finding at least one other curve of the plurality of curves that is related to the selected curve, and finding relationships between the selected curve and the other curve(s), including adding the selected curve, the other curve(s), and the relationships to a selected curve set. The method includes pre-processing the selected curve set, including de-activating a set of constraints for the geometric model. The method includes receiving a modification of the selected curve and modifying the selected curve set to produce a modified geometric model and modified selected curve set. The method includes post-processing the modified selected curve set, including re-activating and applying constraints for the geometric model. | 05-05-2016 |
