Abstract:
1. A method for updating a filleted curve in a computer graphics application, comprising: (a) displaying a computer-implemented drawing on a display device of a computer, wherein the drawing comprises a first input curve and a second input curve; (b) selecting the first input curve; (c) selecting the second input curve; (d) calculating, creating, and displaying a fillet curve between the first input curve and the second input curve; (e) associating the fillet curve with the first input curve and the second input curve; (f) determining and remembering a relative position of the fillet curve with respect to the first input curve and the second input curve; (g) modifying a property of the first input curve; (h) in response to the modifying, automatically, without additional user input, and based on the associating and using the remembered relative position, recalculating the fillet curve based on the modified property, wherein the remembered relative position of the fillet curve with respect to the first input curve and the second input curve is maintained before and after the recalculating; and (i) displaying the recalculated fillet curve.
