  • Method to select resolution values
    Patent number: 12705695
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to determine a set of geometric relationships in relation to a set of object representations within a computer aided design model, where each geometric relationship is represented by a number, and is configured to determine a set of intervals within the set of geometric relationships that meet a resolution interval criterion, where each interval is a numerical range that does not include numbers representing the geometric relationships, and is configured to select a set of resolution values. Each resolution value is within one of the intervals according to a resolution setting criterion. The processor is configured to update the CAD model by implementing the set of resolution values, generate instructions for controlling a manufacturing process using the updated CAD model, and output the instructions to a manufacturing system for control of the manufacturing process according to the instructions.
