Abstract
A system, method, and computer program for component scattering, comprising calculating a bounding box for each of a plurality of parts; calculating a centroid corresponding to each of said bounding boxes; placing a first part having a bounding box and a centroid at said start position, and; placing said plurality of parts in a pre-determined direction from said first part; whereby in a single operation said plurality of parts are logically added to an assembly view in a pre-determined manner, and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
