Abstract

A system, method, and computer program for radial component scattering, comprising calculating a bounding box for each of a plurality of parts; calculating a centroid corresponding to each of said bounding boxes; calculating a scatter circle for placement of said plurality of parts; calculating a number of locations to place said plurality of parts on said scatter circle; whereby said plurality of parts are added to an assembly view in a single operation such that a largest of said plurality of parts is at a start point, and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
