Abstract
Methods and systems link non-geometric data to the geometric elements in a CAD file. The methods and systems are independent of any CAD system and allows the user to add, edit, view, query and report on non-geometric data associated with geometric data. The methods and systems support “content rich” non-geometric data and allow this data to be ‘attached’ to any level of the geometric CAD data. The methods and systems are easily accessible outside of a CAD system and leverage existing standards for Internet commerce.
