Abstract: A method and apparatus for designing and manufacturing a component in a computer-aided design and manufacturing environment is disclosed. A method includes obtaining a geometric model of a component from a geometric model database, and determining at least one orientation parameter value associated with the geometric model of the component. The at least one orientation parameter value is associated with an orientation parameter that defines orientation of the component during additive manufacturing of the component. The method includes performing volumetric analysis of the component based on the at least one orientation parameter value associated with the component using the geometric model of the component.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a method for managing communication notes during a call at an electronic device. The method includes detecting the call associated with a contact stored in the electronic device. Further, the method includes retrieving at least one communication note comprising at least one data item for the contact. Further, the method includes causing to display the at least one communication note on a screen of the electronic device while the call is ongoing, wherein the at least one communication note is associated with an indicia indicating a priority level.

Abstract: A CAD system and corresponding method and computer program product. A method includes receiving a set of intersecting curves and receiving a selection of a source curve and a destination curve from the set of intersecting curves. The method includes receiving a selection intent rule and calculating a first chain of curves that includes the source curve, through the set of intersecting curves according to the selection intent rule. The method includes storing a selected path, the selected path being a chain of curves between the source curve and the destination curve with a minimum number of deviations from the selection intent rule.
