Constraint solving for computer-aided design
Abstract
An approach to solving systems of geometric constraints appropriate for computer aided design is described, its scope is characterized and its correctness is proved. Various ways to extend the scope of the method are investigated and efficient algorithms are presented. Special consideration is given to the problem of navigating the geometric constraint solver to a real solution that is appropriate to the application and is intuitive to the user.
