Graphic subselection in a computer aided design
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for graphical subselection, comprising:
- presenting an image to a user, the image including an original graphic selection set of graphical elements;
receiving a first user input identifying a first subselection of elements in the original graphic selection set;
visually differentiating the first subselection of elements in the image presented to the user;
receiving a second user input identifying a second subselection of elements in the original graphic selection set, where the second subselection of elements is different from the first subselection of elements; and
visually differentiating the second subselection of elements in the image presented to the user.

Abstract
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method for graphical subselection is provided. The method includes presenting an image to a user. The image includes an original graphic selection set of graphical elements. The method also includes receiving a first user input identifying a first subselection of elements in the original graphic selection set. Additionally, the method includes visually differentiating the first subselection of elements in the image presented to the user. A second user input is received identifying a second subselection of elements in the original graphic selection set. The second subselection of elements is different from the first subselection of elements. Further, the method includes visually differentiating the second subselection of elements in the image presented to the user.

19. An apparatus for graphical subselection, comprising:
-
a graphics engine configured to display an image, the image including a plurality of graphical elements;
a selection engine configured to select an original graphic selection set of graphical elements;
a sub-selection engine configured to select a subselection of elements in the original graphic selection set according to a received user input; and
a display engine configured to display the image including the selected subselection of elements, wherein the selection engine stores the original graphic selection set of graphical elements for use in subsequent element subselections. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
