The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method to display a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application, display, on the GUI, a projection of a three-dimensional object onto a projection plane, receive a selection of a first region of the object, obtain a geometric information related to the first region, wherein the geometric information comprises at least one of a geometric relationship of the first region to a second region of the object or an identification of a shape belonging to the first region, determine, based on the geometric information, a spatial orientation of the first region of the object relative to the projection plane, and display, on the GUI, an indication of the spatial orientation of the first region.

Three-dimensional operations based on planar projections in graphic user interfaces

A method including the steps of: providing a computer readable non-transitory storage medium including a computer readable code configured to run on a local computer and to perform a process to organize a plurality of assets in a tray system including a core tray program including one or more trays, and a synchronization manager configured to synchronize assets represented by icons in the one or more trays with corresponding assets at one or more file storage locations; running on a local computer the computer readable code; displaying by computer the tray; and synchronizing by computer the assets represented by icons in the one or more trays with the corresponding assets at one or more file storage locations. A system to perform the method is also described.

Synchronized asset trays

A method includes the steps of: providing a computer readable non-transitory storage medium including computer readable code configured to run on a computer and to perform a process to replace a comp with a corresponding asset; running the computer readable code on the computer; selecting the comp to replace with the corresponding asset; retrieving by computer an asset file of the corresponding asset from an asset server based on an identification code of the comp; replacing by computer the comp with the asset; and redrawing by computer the drawing including the corresponding asset in place of the comp. A system to perform the method is also described.

System and method to replace comps with assets

A user interface dialog is provided. The user interface dialog comprises tear-off functionality for being torn-off from a drop-down selection, and docking functionality for docking onto a docker.

Dockable drop-down dialogs

A secure communication module is provided for securing communication between a client application and a network service. The secure communication module comprises an authentication identifier provider for providing the client application a pool of authentication identifiers for use in subsequent communication with the network service, and an authentication identifier validator for checking the validity of an authentication identifiers from the pool of authentication identifiers sent with the subsequent communication.

System and method for secure communication

A gateway module for managing functionality for one or more web services is provided. The web services gateway module comprises a client application interface unit for receiving communication from a client application over a standard protocol, a communication processor for processing the communication for a web service, and a web services interface unit for delegating the processed communication to the web service.

System and method of managing access to web services

A user interface framework management system for managing the user interface of a software application is provided. The user interface framework management comprises a merged application user interface for receiving a software application user interface element of the software application and a component user interface element of a component to be included with the software application, a unification unit for merging the component user interface element with the software user interface element into the merged application user interface, and an identification unit for associating the component with the component user interface element in the merged application user interface.

Component user interface management

A shortcut key manager and method is provided for managing shortcut key assignment to non-command user interface items. In response to receipt of an item identification that identifies a non-command user interface item type and a key identification that identifies a shortcut key, the shortcut key is assigned to the non-command user interface item type that defines the non-command item. When the shortcut key is input, an instance of the non-command user interface item is presented to the user in response to the user input of the shortcut key.
