the vellum interface
drafting assistant
drafting assistant automatically keeps track of points , parts of geometry. brushing on entity, drafting assistant wakes relevant points such tangent, on, center , midpoint , parallel or perpendicular .
associativity & history tree
a feature of xenon , cobalt, associativity increases productivity of design iterations automatically updating related objects when changes made defining geometry. updates 2d sheet views, preserving annotations made on sheets.
a key element of associativity history tree lists features , associations of model in order created. facilitates changes model because features can selected , edited instead of portions deleted , rebuilt, required programs not contain history. changes rippled through entire model , 2d drawing sheets using associativity.
dimensionally-constrained, equation-driven parametrics
found in ashlar-vellum’s cobalt , graphite software, parametrics drive shape of design mathematical equations , relationships. facilitate creation of part families varying features. when 1 dimension changes, others within model change or not, according equations established govern relationships.
