Abstract:

We present CAD-METAFrame, an environment supporting the flexible CAD tool integration and application-specific construction of design plans, which avoids the insurgence of unsuccessful design plans at design time. During a planning phase the collection of all complete, executable design plans is automatically synthesized on the basis of simple constraint-like specifications and the library of available tools. The designer's choice of the best alternative is eased by a user friendly graphical interface and by hypertext support for the generation and management of plans, as illustrated along a user session.
