Abstract
The invention includes computer instructions that operate to receive an indication of a modification of a design, the design being displayed as part of a drawing within a computer aided design (CAD) environment. Responsive to the received indication, the computer instructions operate to automatically generate and display design change information of the design on the drawing, based at least in part on the received indication. As a result, design change information is advantageously automatically generated and displayed responsive to receiving an indication of a modification in design facilitating simplified conveying and tracking of design change information on a drawing within a CAD environment.
