JPH06309389A - Changing method for working identifier for attribute - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the changing method of the working identifier of an attribute in which the reliability of design information management can be improved. CONSTITUTION:At the time of changing the content of a working identifier item registered in the attribute, when the design project item of the present working identifier is matched with the design project item of the changed working identifier, the content of the working identifier is changed (S1, S2, and S3), and when the pertinent design data are used as slave parts for the other design data in which the other working identifier whose design project item is matched with that of the present working identifier is registered, the generation of mismatching is judged, and the changing processing of the working identifier is stopped (S5).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information management system in design work, and more particularly to a method of changing a work identifier added to an attribute of design information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Parts information, drawing information,
A design support system having a table for managing design information such as part configuration information and drawing configuration information (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-14
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 266), there is a case where the design work of a certain scale (product development and specification change) cannot progress the design work according to the original schedule for all the design items.

In such a case, the release timing of the design document and the design data regarding the undesigned parts and menus is determined from the release timing of the design documents and the design data regarding the other completed design parts and menus. May be delayed.

[0004]

Here, in designing a part or a menu whose design has been completed, a part which is supposed to be incomplete is used as a child part, or a specification which is supposed to be incomplete is used. However, if a design change is made to a design-uncompleted part later, an overall specification change will occur, which is a big problem.

Further, it has been difficult to extract design books and design data related to undesigned parts and menus without excess or deficiency.

Conventionally, an ID or an affiliation code for identifying a designer has been used as the information added to the attribute information, but when the contents of the additional information are changed,
No check was made to see if any inconsistencies with other attributes would occur.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art,
Design work information of data such as unfinished design is distinguished from design work information of completed design data, and only the completed design data is output to improve the reliability of design information management. It is intended to provide a method of changing an identifier.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a work identifier table in which design work information itself is hierarchically classified, and coded work identifiers are registered for designing. In the design support system that manages design information by providing a status item indicating the state of the attribute and a work identifier item stored in the work identifier table in the item of the information attribute, the work registered in the attribute When changing the contents of the identifier item, if the design project item of the current work identifier and the design project item of the changed work identifier match, the contents of the work identifier are changed as they are, and the corresponding design data is changed to the current work identifier. When another work identifier that matches the design project item is registered as another child part of other design data , In which so as to cancel the change processing task identifier is determined that the inconsistencies.

[0009]

In addition to the table for managing the part information, the drawing information, the part configuration information, and the drawing configuration information in the database, the work identifier (Work-ID; hereinafter referred to as WiD) which is hierarchically classified and coded the design work information itself. Prepare a WiD table in which to register (call), and set the attribute status (designing, changing, approved,
By providing a status item indicating “Obsolete” and a WiD item related to the WiD table, in the design support system that manages the design information, the design book and the design data are output in WiD units. All registered design data must be completed at the time of drawing. Further, all design data in which the corresponding WiD is registered are targets for drawing out.

Therefore, the WiD registered in the unfinished design data is excluded from the object to be output by changing it to a WiD different from the WiD to be output at a time point before the output.
At this time, the design data for changing the WiD is displayed as W
If the iD is used as a child part of the registered design data, a part that uses an undesigned part is considered to have been designed and is output, resulting in inconsistency between data. The WiD is changed only if checked by the system and no inconsistencies between the data occur.

By this method, it is possible to reliably output only the design-completed data and not only the design-uncompleted data.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

One WiD has a hierarchical structure from the following five items.

The first item is a code indicating what the development product is, the second item is a code indicating the design stage (basic design, prototype design, mass production design, etc.), and the third item is the design part (structure). , Interior, equipment, etc.), the fourth item is the designer's name, and the fifth item is the serial number for each designer.

All design information (part information, drawing information, part configuration information, drawing configuration information, etc.) has a WiD item as an attribute item, and the corresponding WiD is registered.

When the design work for a certain WiD is completed, the design data is sent to another department such as a factory. This is done by designating the relevant WiD. When it comes to design work of a certain scale (such as new product development), multiple types of WiD (WiD
Since multiple WiDs in which the first item and the second item of D are the same but the third item and subsequent items are different), all the WiD items must be specified for the corresponding WiD designation for outputting the design data. Instead, the first item to the required item may be designated.

Under such circumstances, when design data for which the timing of drawing out is desired to be generated, the corresponding design data WiD
To a WiD other than the WiD designated as the drawing target. However, when the WiD is changed, if there is inconsistency with the design data other than the change target, the change process is not executed at all.

WiD change of the design data is performed for each drawing. This is because the minimum unit of design data handling in actual work is a unit of one drawing.

Design data to be changed by WiD is described in the designated drawing. (1) Parts information (excluding parts information used as child parts) (2) Menu information (child menu (3) Drawing configuration (configuration information of drawings and described parts) (4) Menu and component configuration (configuration information of menus or parts and child menus or child parts) (5) ) Of the drawing information of the specified drawing itself, the status (attribute status) is the designing status.

The WiDs of the design data in which the statuses in the above (1) to (5) are in the designing state are all registered.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a WiD changing method according to an embodiment.

First, it is determined whether or not there is design data for which the printing timing is to be shifted, and if there is (Y in S1), the design project item and the post-change WiD of the first item and the second item of the current WiD are combined. If the design project items match (Y in S2), it is determined that no inconsistency will occur because there is no change in the drawing time of the corresponding design data (the time when the status of the design data becomes "approved"). (If the WiD design project items are the same, the WiDs are the same even if the other items are different WiD). In this case, a change subroutine of the corresponding design data WiD is executed (S3).

Further, when the design project item of the current WiD and the design project item of the changed WiD do not match (N in S2), when the current WiD is issued before the changed WiD (in S4). Y), because the approval time of the relevant design data comes later than other design data, the current Wi
If there is any other design data in which other WiDs whose design project items match D are registered and that uses the relevant design data as a child part (Y in S5), the design data is output. When the time comes, the design is completed even though the design-uncompleted component is used as a child component. Therefore, it is determined that inconsistency occurs between the data, and the WiD changing process is not executed.

That is, if the corresponding design data is used as a child part in other design data in which another WiD whose design project item matches the current WiD is registered, it is determined that a mismatch occurs.

In this case, if the WiD change is absolutely necessary, the Wi of the upper drawing (the drawing in which the part using the part whose WiD is to be changed is used as a child part) is displayed.
It becomes possible if D change is executed first.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the contents of the subroutine of the design data WiD changing process shown in step S3 of FIG.

In the WiD change process, first, the drawing number input (S3-1) of the target drawing, the current WiD input (for confirmation) (S3-2), and the changed WiD input (S3-3). ) Is done.

The WiD designation method at this time is as follows.
It is necessary to specify all five items. When these 3 items are input and the WiD change process is started, the system changes to the actual W
Design data to be modified by iD [(1)-
For (5)], the WiD is changed (S3-4).

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the contents of WiD registered in the attribute are changed so as not to cause inconsistency with other attributes and design work on a drawing-by-drawing basis, schedule changes related to design work, classification changes, personnel changes, etc. The design data itself can be dealt with for each drawing, and it is possible to prevent inconsistency between the design data even after the design data is dealt with.
