✦ Synopsis

This paper sets out to show the relevance of the proposed Computer Graphics Interface Standard (DP 9639) to typical users and implementors of CAD systems. The paper first considers the architectural relationship between the CAD system and CGI devices, and the potential benefits associated with a CAD system which incorporates such devices. The major features of the CGI are then reviewed briefly and contrasted with the functionality of GK5 and the paper concludes by considering some probable future directions for standards in this area and some consequences of the moves.
