In contrast to existing surveys, we classify the different approaches from a CAD application user point of view. As a consequence, we focus on features of surveyed techniques such as: supported shape data types, handling of geometric invariances, support of metadata, supported query types, quality of retrieval results, and the availability of implementations.enComputer Aided Design (CAD)information retrievallibrary services3D object retrievalGuiding Theme: Visual Computing as a ServiceResearch Area: Computer graphics (CG)Research Area: Computer vision (CV)Search & retrieval in CAD databasesconference paper
