Abstract
CAD frameworks often have to be updated by incorporating new CAD tools. Encapsulation is the tools’ incorporating technicality most often used. Once tools have been incorporated into a framework, the designer access to them may be unified and simplified.
The present work describes work recently developed, within the PACE framework, to address tool encapsulation and tool invocation.
Part of this work was done under ESPRIT project SPRITE.
