Abstract

A 3D modeled CAD object is flattened to a two dimensional 2D representation while maintaining a user selected wiring component represented in 3D. A user selected 3D component has a connector and a route segment with at least one stored sketch segment. A 3D and 2D tangent are calculated at a junction point of the route segment. A translation and rotation transformation is calculated to align the 2D and 3D tangents at the junction point. A calculated transformation matrix based on the translation and rotation transformation is used to display a flattened unconnected route segment aligned with the user selected 3D component.
