  • Automatic coloring of rigid groups of parts
    Patent number: 8521478
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention sets forth a CAD application configured to receive an instruction to process a first rigid body in a CAD model and to create a graphic style table that includes a listing of available graphic styles to apply to the rigid bodies in the CAD model. The CAD application is further configured to analyze assembly data associated with the first rigid body to determine if the first rigid body includes any user-defined characteristics. The CAD application is configured to select a first graphic style and apply the first graphic style to each of the geometric bodies included in the first rigid body. Advantageously, embodiments of the invention provide users with a better visual understanding of each rigid body in an assembly and the dynamic relationships between those rigid bodies.
