Innovative computer aided diagramming
Computer aided diagramming (CAD) tools today are based on the approach of a fixed symbol into which text is fitted. This approach leads to shortfalls in human interfacing and tool development. The inverse view of entering the text and then drawing the symbol around it provides the basis for an …

Are two heads better than one in CAD? a comparison of various CAD working styles
Collaboration in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) has existed since the inception of CAD tools. The established norm in multi-user CAD work has been to use top-down modeling techniques wherein a complex model is divided into sub-assemblies (or part files) for individual designers to work on separately. …

Randomness as a CAD tool for the affective augmentation of form in product design concepts.
Computer tools for design are frequently employed in an attempt to improve efficiency and reduce time to market. More recently, attempts have been made to develop CAD tools for emotional design. Such tools may be intended to augment the emotional responses elicited by a product’s design and, in so …
