Abstract
Methods for product data management and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a CAD model in the data processing system, the CAD model including at least a first blend that has an axis, a radius measured from the axis, and a plurality of unders. The method includes receiving a change to the radius of the first blend and selectively designating either the axis as fixed or the unders as fixed according to a property of the blend. The method includes modifying the CAD model by changing the radius according to the received change and the designated fixed axis or designated fixed unders, and storing the modified CAD model.
