20090102832 | SELECTIVE REFRESH OF COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN DRAWINGS - Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for updating drawing elements of a first computer aided design (CAD) drawing to reflect changes to corresponding drawing elements in a second CAD drawing. A method for updating a CAD drawing may include receiving a selection of drawing elements from the second CAD drawing, where the first CAD drawing is derived, at least in part, from the drawing elements of the second CAD drawing. The method may also include identifying drawing elements of the first CAD drawing that correspond with the selected drawing elements of the second CAD drawing, updating a geometry of the identified drawing elements of the first CAD drawing to reflect a geometry of the corresponding drawing elements of the second CAD drawing, and preserving a visual appearance of drawing elements the first CAD drawing not updated. | 04-23-2009 |
20090184964 | REGION FILLING USING MATCHING CRITERIA - A method for filling closed regions in a drawing using a region filling tool that may appear as a paint bucket. Rather than independently selecting regions to fill or filling based on style-by-layer techniques, the user selects a seed region such that other regions of the drawing are filled if parameters of the other regions match the parameters of the seed region. Matching criteria parameters may include an exact match parameter, a shape matching parameter, a layer matching parameter, and a line weight matching parameter. The parameters may be used alone or in conjunction with other parameters. In this manner, multiple regions in the drawing that are similar to the seed region may be filled using one interaction with the region filling tool. This approach allows the user to more efficiently and intuitively fill regions in the drawing. | 07-23-2009 |
20090184966 | USER-DIRECTED PATH-BASED REGION FILLING - A method for filling closed regions in a drawing using a region filling tool. Rather than selecting individual regions to fill, or filling based on style-by-layer techniques, the user creates a path or an area boundary to identify the regions to be filled. A graphics application may then fill each region that intersects the path or area boundary with a selected color or graphical style. In this manner, multiple regions in the drawing may be identified using one interaction with the region filling tool, allowing the user to more efficiently and intuitively fill regions in the drawing with the selected color or graphical style. | 07-23-2009 |

The additional program can be a browser. The methods further include instructing the multiple instances to reduce respective portions of the computing resources consumption upon determining that a requested increase in computer resources consumption of the media player program would cause the computer resources consumption of the media player program to exceed a first predetermined level. | 03-07-2013 |
