Abstract:
A designer doing 3D mechanical layouts needs to mix graphical and mathematical operations, as for example: point to a 3D object displayed on the screen and use its location to compute a position to insert another object. It would be desirable to teach complex new procedures to the system by performing the procedure once. This would free the designer to develop procedures tailored to his own needs without relying on programming support. Thus new design applications could be readily generated. We are presently completing such a system.
