Computer-implemented method according to claim 6, wherein the reference points are positioned on the boundary of the region.ĩ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 6, wherein a reference point is positioned on an intersecting entity at a position with a minimal distance to an enclosed entity.Ĩ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the region comprises the boundary, wherein the region encompasses the reference points.ħ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 4, wherein the rectangular or cuboidal region is obtained via user dragging of a cursor in the graphical user interface from a first point to a second point, thereby defining a boundary for the rectangular or cuboidal region, wherein the boundary comprises said first point and said second point at diagonally opposing corners.Ħ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the region is a rectangular or cuboidal region.ĥ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the region is a polygonal or polyhedral region.Ĥ. Computer-implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the reference and target computer-aided design models are two-dimensional.ģ. Computer-implemented method for feature replication in a computer-aided design model, comprising the steps of: obtaining a region of a reference computer-aided design model, via user drawing of a boundary for the region in a graphical user interface, wherein the boundary: entirely encloses one or more entities of the reference computer-aided design model and intersects one or more entities of the reference computer-aided design model automatically determining for each intersecting entity a reference point on the intersecting entity and a reference direction at the reference point automatically searching, based on the reference points and reference directions, in a target computer-aided design model, for a candidate set of candidate entities which are spatially compatible with the intersecting entities automatically computing a spatial transformation which maps each reference point and reference direction onto a candidate entity of the candidate set replicating, or suggesting via a visualization means the replication of, the one or more entirely enclosed entities according to the determined spatial transformation.Ģ.
