Disclosed is a parametric feature-based 3D CAD system that allows multiple users to simultaneously edit a parametric feature-based 3D CAD model consisting of 3D parts and assemblies of those parts (3D Model). Several CAD users, each using their own computer, phone, or tablet, can edit the same 3D Model at the same time. Editing may be separate and simultaneous—there is no need for users to worry about locking, checking out, or otherwise restricting each other's access to 3D Models. Within each user's editing interface, the model may be presented in different representations, with edits to any representation applied and displayed across all representations.

As a result, users see each other's changes occur in real-time, and may also identify what aspects other users are actively modifying through visible Collaboration Cues.

In most of today's computer aided design (CAD), there are many definitive relationship between how components used in a CAD design relate to other components and feature in the same design. These relationships include sizing (a component is sized based upon another component), placement and orientation (a component is position and orientated based upon another component or feature). In addition, certain components can only be used with other specific components within the same design. Various attributes are placed on the CAD components and features that relate to each other that will be used to automatically size, place and orientate components, as well as make sure the component is valid to be used within the design intent. This saves designers considerable amount of design time as well as ensuring accurate component to component relationship as used in their design.
