Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for component scattering, comprising calculating a bounding box for each of a plurality of parts; calculating a centroid corresponding to each of said bounding boxes; placing a first part having a bounding box and a centroid at said start position, and; placing said plurality of parts in a pre-determined direction from said first part; whereby in a single operation said plurality of parts are logically added to an assembly view in a pre-determined manner, and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for radial component scattering, comprising calculating a bounding box for each of a plurality of parts; calculating a centroid corresponding to each of said bounding boxes; calculating a scatter circle for placement of said plurality of parts; calculating a number of locations to place said plurality of parts on said scatter circle; whereby said plurality of parts are added to an assembly view in a single operation such that a largest of said plurality of parts is at a start point, and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for component scattering from a bill of material, comprising selecting a plurality of components from a list; calculating a bounding box for each of said plurality of components; calculating a centroid corresponding to each of said bounding boxes; calculating a scatter circle for placement of said plurality of components; and calculating a number of locations to place said plurality of components on said scatter circle; whereby said plurality of components are added to an assembly view in a single operation such that a largest of said plurality of components is at a start point and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
