ABSTRACT:
The invention includes computer instructions that detect a cursor in a proximity of a geometry piece of a mechanical design having multimedia associated with the geometry piece. Once the cursor is detected, the instructions automatically generate an icon associated with the geometry piece for accessing the associated multimedia. As a result, CAD model information is conveyed utilizing multimedia associated with one or more geometry pieces of the CAD model. In one embodiment, the computer instructions are part of a mechanical design software application. In one embodiment, the mechanical software application including the computer instructions is embodied in a distribution storage medium.
