DESIGNING A MODELED OBJECT WITHIN A SESSION OF A COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM INTERACTING WITH A DATABASE

摘要

The invention is directed to a method for designing a modeled object within a session of CAD system interacting with a database. The method comprises: - detecting a designing operation performed by a user and applied to an initial modeled object within the session; - computing a signature from a set of properties of the initial modeled object and/or a set of properties of the session; - retrieving in the database modeled objects having the closest signatures to the signature of the initial modeled object within the session; - displaying representations of modeled objects retrieved; - selecting by the user a modeled object among the representations of modeled objects displayed; and - replacing the initial modeled object within the session by the modeled object selected.
