Patent number: 11501854Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for electronically drawing and editing representations of chemical structures using an intuitive user interface. This user interface, the context-aware virtual keyboard, makes it faster and easier to draw and edit chemical structure representations by guiding the user through the sequence of steps required to produce the representation in a context-based, non-linear fashion. The context-based virtual keyboard allows a user to quickly create graphical representations of complex chemical structures by using the structure itself as a basis for presenting efficient options for subsequent drawing/editing steps. Different possible and/or likely actions (e.g., edits to a chemical structure being drawn) are presented to the user based on a selected navigation position on the drawing.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: PerkinElmer Informatics, Inc.Inventors: Pierre Morieux, Michael Wilson, Jeffrey F.

Patent number: 11455073Abstract: A computer-based system and method generate a movement of a 3D part of a 3D assembly in a 3D scene. Movement of the 3D part represents rotation by a predetermined angle. The method a) displays a 3D assembly of 3D parts in the 3D scene; b) selects a 3D part of the 3D assembly; and c) displays in the 3D scene a 3D manipulator. The 3D manipulator comprises three axes, and is anchored to the 3D part at an anchor point. The method then d) drags the 3D manipulator along one axis by a current distance from the anchor point on the axis. The predetermined angle corresponds to a maximum distance from the anchor point. The method e) while dragging the 3D manipulator, computes a ratio of the current distance to the maximum distance, and f) generates the movement of the 3D part proportionally to the ratio.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Dassault SystemesInventors: Christophe Rene Francis Delfino, Guillaume Romain Dayde

Patent number: 11402963Abstract: A neighboring panel view is leveraged in a digital medium environment. Initially, a view generation system receives a selection of panels of a three-dimensional (3D) assembled representation of an object, such as to apply digital graphics to the 3D assembled representation. The view generation system also receives a selection of an option to display a neighboring panel view, which is a two-dimensional (2D) flattened view local to the selection. In particular, the neighboring panel view displays an arrangement of the selected panels of the object and their neighboring panels. The view generation system arranges the selected panels in this arrangement as those panels are arranged in the 3D assembled representation. The view generation system also arranges the neighboring panels in the neighboring panel view adjacent to the selected panels with which they are adjacent on the object.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Amanda Paige Ghassaei, Michal Luká{hacek over (c)}, Wilmot Wei-Mau Li, Vidya Narayanan, Eric Joel Stollnitz, Daniel Max Kaufman
