Abstract
The present invention includes computer instructions that facilitate characterizing a geometry piece based upon one or more received input selections, generating a temporary dimension type based, at least in part, upon the characterization, storing the temporary dimension type, and displaying the temporary dimension type. In one embodiment, the computer instructions are part of a mechanical design software application. In one embodiment, the mechanical software application including the computer instructions are embodied in a distribution storage medium.
