| 1. A method of showing a relationship between, at least two views of a three dimensional model, the method comprising:
processing three-dimensional model data to generate a two-dimensional drawing of the model, the drawing comprising a first
and a second view of the model;
receiving user input to position a pointer at a location in three-dimensional space;
displaying the two-dimensional drawing, said displaying including:
displaying the pointer in the first view at a relative location in the first view's two-dimensional space that corresponds
to the location of the pointer in three-dimensional space; and
displaying the pointer in the view at a relative location in the second view's two-dimensional space that corresponds to the
location of the pointer in three-dimensional space.
