            Abstract : 
The proposal research aims to figure out the difference of our impressions on curves that are used in shape designs, and also to contribute to industrial designers by implementing smart computer aided design (CAD) systems which have same feelings on curves as human designers. The proposed K-vector is a mathematical form of classifying such curves by designers´ impressions.
