Preserving the freedom of paper in a computerbased sketch tool (2001)
Christine J. Alvarado, All Davis
The tradeoff between the ease of sketching a mechanical system on paper and the power of representing it on a computer is too great, as evidenced by the fact that mechanical designers typically begin...
Resolving ambiguities to create a natural computer-based sketching environment (2001)
Christine J. Alvarado, All Davis
Abstract. Current computer-based design tools for mechanical engineers are not tailored to the early stages of design. Most designs start as pencil and paper sketches, and are entered into CAD...
into Early Stages of Mechanical Design (2000)
Christine J. Alvarado, Randall Davis, Christine J. Alvarado
Current computer-based design tools for mechanical engineers are not tailored to early stages of design. Most designers use pencil and paper at first, and input their design into CAD systems only...
