在工业设计中，新的设计可视化工具正在出现为设计师带来重大好处。但是，研究表明，如果在错误的情况下使用，新工具也可以抑制设计师的创造力或导致时间效率低。因此，了解使用哪些工具以及在设计过程中越来越需要在设计实践中充分利用资源。现有关于了解设计工具的性能和比较工具的框架的研究是特定于某些工具的特定的，或者是高度概括的不同设计工具的评估。因此，本文报告了创建更全面的设计工具特征框架，以促进对设计工具及其用途的更好理解。还以案例研究的形式进行了有关数字草图及其与四位实践设计师的可比工具的使用的形式。总之，我们展示了设计工具特性（DTC）框架如何是理解设计工具的有效方法，并进一步影响了设计工具开发。
In Industrial Design, new design visualisation tools are emerging offering significant benefits to the designers. However, studies show alongside some benefits, new tools can also inhibit designers' creativity or cause time inefficiency if used in the wrong context. Thus, understanding which tools to use and when during the design process is increasingly necessary to ensure the best use of resources in design practice. Existing research on understanding the performance of design tools and the resulting frameworks for comparing tools are either specific to certain tools or highly generalised making evaluation across different design tools challenging. As such, this paper reports the creation of a more comprehensive framework of design tool characteristics to facilitate a better understanding of design tools and their uses. Demonstration of application of the framework is also given in the form of a case study on the use of Digital Sketching and its comparable tools with four practising designers. In conclusion, we show how the Design Tool Characteristics (DTCs) framework is an effective way to understand design tools, with further implications for design tool development.
