DUPLICATE PATTERN OF ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS IN CAD MODELS

摘要

Systems and methods for efficient duplication of objects in a CAD model. A method includes receiving a CAD model including a plurality of objects in a model space. The method includes receiving a selection of a first object of the plurality of objects. The method includes receiving a selection of at least one target in the model space. The method includes deriving a transformation matrix corresponding to the model space. The method includes deriving a relative transform according to the transformation matrix and the first object. The method includes deriving a target transformation matrix for each of the targets. The method includes creating, for each target transformation matrix, a duplicate object located in the model space such that the transform between the corresponding target transformation matrix and the duplicate object is equal to the relative transform. The method includes storing the CAD model including the duplicate objects.
