Abstract
Check indicators within a computer-aided drafting (CAD) system are disclosed. A method of an embodiment first displays in a highlighted manner a change to an element of a CAD design. A check indicator is displayed that denotes whether the change to the element has been reviewed. A user is permitted to check the check indicator to denote that the change to the element has been reviewed. A dynamically updated completion ratio of check indicators that have been checked by the user may be displayed, which are deleted upon approval of the design. The completion ratio and the changes may be stored, and the check indicators displayed within a master checklist. When a simulation of the CAD design is executed, the check indicators may be integrated with the results of the simulation. The changes to which the check indicators correspond may be initiated by the user, or by the simulation.
