We often need to discuss or modify the results generated by single-user CAD applications when they are applied to cooperative design. To our knowledge, however, almost all the existing cooperative systems or tools, such as shared white-board and application sharing, have some limitations when used for to such task. When considering these limitations, we have coined the term "Application Cooperating" which means to retain the original features of the single-user CAD applications and when using them collaboratively. To reduce redundant development, we have developed a framework that converts a single-user CAD application into a multi-user application. To achieve this we have developed a framework whereby the events occurring through interactions with the application, can be captured, distributed, and reassembled, in such a way as to allow single-user CAD applications to be used cooperatively without modifications to their source codes. This paper main discusses the architecture, events process and other relative problems pertaining to the above.
