Abstract
The invention includes computer instructions that operate to receive an indication of a modification of a geometry piece in a computer aided design (CAD) application. The geometry piece being of at least two segments and each of the two segments having a first length substantially equal to each other. The instructions further operate to automatically modify the two segments into at least two modified segments, where each of the two modified segments having a second length substantially equal to each other. The second length is based at least in part on the received indication of the modification of the geometry piece. As a result, maintaining segmentation of a geometry piece of a mechanical design is facilitated.
