ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a processing system for enabling modifications to be made to a virtual design in a CAD system, in particular a collaborative CAD system with a number of spatially distributed users. An indication is constantly provided as to the degrees of freedom of the components involved in any modification and the effects on the degrees of freedom of any changes to be made.
