Abstract
A copy of a design is stored at each of multiple clients. When a client user provides input indicating a wish to modify the design in some way, the input is captured and one or more commands created. The commands are forwarded to a server, which queues commands received from all of the clients and then forwards each of those commands back to each of the clients. Upon receiving commands from the server, each of the clients executes those commands in the order received. Each client also maintains data indicating settings for all clients in a current editing session. Before executing a design changing command, each client adjusts its settings to match those of the client from which that command originated.
