  • Patent number: 10073612
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a technique is provided for using a fixed cursor input interface to interact with a model of a computer aided design (CAD) application on an electronic device having a touch screen display. A view of the model is displayed within a workspace of the CAD application on the touch screen display. A fixed cursor and a toolbar are also displayed on the touch screen display. In response to the touch input within the workspace, a pan or move may be performed within model space to change the view of the model, while the fixed cursor is maintained at a designated position (e.g., the center of the touch screen display). In response to input upon an interface element of the toolbar that represents an input type, an action is performed related to a position in model space superposed by the fixed cursor.
