Abstract

Techniques for assigning a region attribute to a region in a drawing are disclosed. One technique includes editing the drawing to define a current region, associating the current region with a previous region having a previous region attribute, and assigning the previous region attribute to the current region. Another technique includes deriving a previous path attribute and a relation for a previous path, editing the drawing to define a current set of paths having current regions, and assigning the previous path attribute to at least one current region based on the relation of the previous path.
