ABSTRACT:
Projection lines from related elements are used to connect the related elements in aligned views and points on an auxiliary foldline are used to connect projection lines from related elements in two offset non-aligned views. 2-dimensional constraints are automatically generated between the related elements and the respective projection lines, and between each point on the auxiliary foldline and the two respective projection lines through that point, to represent a corresponding 3-dimensional constraint between the related elements. The 3-dimension constraints may include "coplanar" (two lines representing a common plane normal to the planes of two views), "line-on" (a line represented by a point in one view is on a plane represented by a line in another view), and "tangent plane" (a plane represented by a line in one view is tangent to a cylinder represented by a circle in another view).
