Abstract: The present disclosure relates to enabling a user device to manipulate a multi-dimensional model maintained by a computing device. An application on the user device can receive requests from the user to manipulate the model via programmable hot keys, a shortcut keyboard, or voice commands. The user device can send these requests to the computing device, which provides the requests to a CAD program executed by the computing device to manipulate the model. By executing the application on the user device and the driver on the computing device, the present disclosure can enable the user device to manipulate models on the computing device, which is a more efficient and intuitive technique for the user.
