ABSTRACT:
A method for drawing an element of an object during computer-aided drafting of the object is disclosed. A computer has a view screen displaying a cursor and at least a portion of a drawing field, and also has a cursor manipulator. The cursor is positioned using the cursor manipulator at a first location on the drawing field, a first data point is recorded at the first location, and the first data point is displayed on the view screen. A drawing plane is associated with the first data point and has first and second substantially perpendicular axes, and an origin at the intersection thereof coinciding with the first data point. The cursor is then positioned using the cursor manipulator at a second location on the drawing field relative to the origin of the drawing plane, a second data point is recorded at the second location, and the second data point is displayed on the view screen. At least a portion of the element is displayed on the view screen, where the element is at least partially defined by the first data point and the second data point.
