  • Patent number: 8131517
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to update a slope of a run in a system in a computer drawing application. A system run (i.e., an interconnected series of objects) is selected in a computer drawing application. The objects in the interconnected series are part of the same system and the series has a starting point and an ending point. A property for a slope of the system run is specified. The slope of the system run is updated across all of the interconnected series of objects based on the specified property.

  • Publication number: 20100257485
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a computer readable storage medium provide the ability to manipulate a segment of a network in a computer drawing application. A graphics drawing program is displayed on a display device. User input is accept that obtains a drawing having graphics objects. A connected object network object is created. A subset of the graphics objects (that are connected to each other) are added to the connected object network object. User input is accepted that selects a first graphic object in the subset and in response, an alignment line is displayed across all of the graphic objects in the connected object network object. The alignment line graphically indicates that all of the graphic objects in the subset are part of the connected object network object.
