DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a design drawing history management system that allows a plurality of workers to simultaneously draw and edit drawings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a large-scale construction project, there are cases in which only a design drawing handles thousands of drawings, and in some cases, a full-time drawing management person is assigned. Of course, questions and answers and design changes are left as documents. Of course, we have a database that can be searched for. If the data is organized, inconsistency due to duplication and work rework can be prevented, and access to necessary data and processing of information become easy. However, while there are great advantages on the part of the user, a great deal of effort is required to maintain and manage a huge amount of data.

When a plurality of workers simultaneously create a drawing, there is a problem in managing the history of the drawing. When a plurality of workers draw in parallel without having a drawing management tool, consistency between drawings is only guaranteed by agreement between the workers. Even if two drawings are to be referred to each other, in a situation where the drawings are frequently rewritten, it is difficult to determine whether or not the previously referred drawings are still correct.
If the drawings referred to are changed or modified, the changes must be recorded one by one for the referrer.

Although it is possible to manage information thoroughly using operation rules, it is necessary to expect a considerable amount of labor from operators and drawing managers if these rules are to be strictly used in practice. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to unify management of files, history management of drawing data, and editing authority without excessively burdening an administrator and an operator. , And manages reference relationships to improve the reliability of information.

Accordingly, the present invention is a design drawing editing history management system which allows a plurality of operators to draw and edit a drawing simultaneously and in parallel, wherein a plurality of trees are connected in a tree according to the editing history of the design drawing. Authority registering means for registering drawing data, editing authority for each drawing data, update registering means for registering editing contents for each drawing data, editing registering means for registering drawing data being edited, and authority registration The authority of editing and the drawing being edited are managed by the means registered in the means and the registering means being edited, and the editing history of the drawing is managed by the parent drawing attribute of the drawing data and the registered contents of the update registering means, and the design drawing is edited Editing history management means for the drawing to be performed.

[0007] Further, reference history registration means for registering the history of reference and citation of drawings at the time of editing, release history registration means for registering the history of drawing, and warning registration means for registering contact and warning information. The editing history management means manages the editing authority and the drawing being edited based on the registration contents of the authority registration means and the editing registration means, the parent drawing attribute of the drawing data, the update registration means, the reference history registration means, The history of drawing editing, reference / quotation, and drawing is managed based on the registered contents of the drawing history registering means, and information on communication and warnings is sent to the warning registering means based on the drawing editing, reference / quoting, and drawing history.

In FIG. 1, a data processing apparatus 1 performs drawing, editing, management and other processing of a design drawing, manages the authority of editing and the drawing being edited, and edits and edits the drawing.
The history of reference / quotation and drawing is managed, and information on contact and warning is registered based on the history of editing, reference / quoting and drawing. Input / output processing unit 11, authority management unit 12, editing management unit 1
3, a CAD 14, a reference drawing management unit 15, and the like. The database 2 stores data of drawing and edited design drawings, a table for registering management information thereof, and the like. A plurality of drawing data / trees are connected in a tree by the information of the parent drawing attribute according to the editing history of the design drawings. Table 2
2, an input device 3 having various tables 21, 23 to 29 for registering the editing authority for each drawing data, the editing contents from the operator and the parent drawing, and the drawing data being edited. The input device is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse for inputting instructions for editing and other processes, data, and the like. The output device 4 is an output device such as a display, a printer, and an XY plotter for displaying and printing.

The input / output processing unit 11 performs input / output processing between the input device 3 and the output device, and the authority management unit 12 sends a predetermined name to a staff (operator) whose login name and password match. The access authority of the design drawing history management system according to the present invention is managed by giving an administrator authority and giving a predetermined authority type to each staff member registered for each drawing. The editing management unit 13 manages editing and history of design drawings, and enables drawing and editing of drawings by a plurality of specialized staffs at the same time. In order to prevent editing, the history of the edited drawing is managed, and the drawings are linked in a tree shape and the edited contents are recorded. The CAD 14 draws and edits design drawings, and the reference drawing management unit 15 manages external references and drawing release records of drawings.

Next, an example of the configuration of the drawing data table 22 and various tables 21, 23 to 29 stored in the database 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the staff table 21 is for registering information on staff (workers), and is registered with information such as worker ID, login name, password, real name, administrator authority and the like. The staff has predetermined administrator authority, for example, authority that a normal user cannot perform such as registration, deletion, change of a drawing, registration of a new user, and the like. The drawing data table 22 includes a drawing table that stores drawing data having information such as a drawing ID, a parent, a name, and a drawing file name, and attributes thereof. The parent is a parent drawing attribute from which the drawing is derived in order to manage the drawing history. By having this parent drawing attribute, a drawing is managed in a tree having a plurality of roots. An authority table 25 and an update record table 24 are subordinate to the drawing data table 22, respectively. The authority table 24 is for setting an authority type corresponding to the worker ID and the drawing ID. The authority type is registered for each drawing for the staff registered in the staff table 21.
Editing of the drawing data table 22 is permitted in accordance with Step 4. The update record table 24 contains an update ID, an operator I
The update content of the drawing is recorded by D, the drawing ID, the work content, and the work date, and the update information from the parent drawing is recorded.

Each time a drawing is checked out, it is assigned to a new file, but once the contents are solidified and approved, further editing must be prohibited. The approval table 23 manages this. The approval table 23 shows an example in which three stages are prepared for approval, of which the project standard is positioned as a high-value component to be referred to as the whole project, and the manager standard and the manager standard are manager and manager, respectively. A drawing authorized by a third party, the latter being a so-called approval drawing. The standard drawing is copied, renamed to a user-friendly name, and published to a file server. The reason why the approval table 23 has such three-stage standards as attributes is to keep in mind that some drawings may be disclosed without being supervised by the supervisor.
If there is any change after approval, the publication of the drawing will be canceled and the drawing derived from the drawing and modified will be approved again and will be published under the same publication name.

The reference / quotation table 26 is used to register a reference source, a reference destination, and the number of references when referring to / quoting another drawing in an edited drawing. Many CADs have a function of incorporating another drawing into an edited drawing. This includes
How to copy the referenced drawing and import it as part of your drawing, and how to save the file path of the referenced drawing so that if the referenced drawing is modified, the modification is reflected in the referenced drawing There is. The release record table 27 records a release history based on information such as a release ID, an operator ID, a drawing ID, a purpose, and a print date and time.

The editing table 28 manages the editing of the drawing data table 22. By writing the drawing ID, the worker ID, and the start time, the drawing ID is stored in the table.
Editing of drawing data of other is prohibited. In other words, exclusive control is performed on a drawing basis by referring to the table 28 being edited. Contact / Warning Table 29
Is to register information or information from the reference / quotation history or the drawing history when editing and / or warning is necessary.

Various changes and corrections occur before the drawings settle down to the final form, and each time a drawing is rewritten. Although backups are taken at work breaks, in general, temporary drawings of the process are not left, and only the original drawings of the latest drawings are managed. When changes or corrections occur, the original drawings are added with correction comments. Considering the information written in the drawings used for the examination, it cannot be said that the drawings that should be the original drawings reflect the correct information. According to the present invention, a drawing data table 21 managed in a tree with respect to changes and corrections made to drawings during the design and drawing processes.
By clearly managing the intention using the update record table 24 and the update record table 24, it is possible to manage not only a chronological change but also a drawing history including a design intention.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of authority management processing, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of reference / quote processing,
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a drawing process, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of an editing end process.

In the design drawing history management system according to the present invention, as a process of authority management in the case of editing, first, as shown in FIG. 3, a login screen for inputting a login name and a password of an operator is displayed. (Step S1
1) The login name and password input from the screen are collated with the staff table (step S12). If the password matches and it is confirmed that the worker is registered in the staff table, an initial screen including a tree-structured drawing list is displayed based on the parent drawing attribute information of the drawing data (step S13). Then, from the initial screen of the drawing list, the operator is requested to select a drawing and check out the drawing (step S14), and it is determined whether the specification for updating the parent drawing or the addition for subordinate to the parent drawing is specified (step S15). In the case of updating, the original drawing data is updated with the edited drawing data (step S16), and an update record table is added (step S17). In the case of addition in which the edited drawing is left dependent on the parent drawing, drawing data having a parent drawing attribute with the original drawing as a parent is added and stored (step S18). At this time, the authority table is inherited from the parent drawing as it is, an update ID is assigned, and the update contents are recorded in the update record table together with the worker ID, the drawing ID, the work content, and the work date (step S19).
Further, it is checked from the editing table whether the drawing is being edited (step S20). The operator ID and the start date and time are recorded in the editing table along with the drawing ID, and when it is determined that the editing is being performed by another worker, the editing is declared (step S21), and the editing is performed. If not, the CAD is activated to start the editing process (step S2).
2).

The present invention provides a tool for supporting a situation where design progresses simultaneously while referring to a plurality of drawings. When the referenced drawing is corrected, the correction is directly reflected in the reference drawing, but the operator of the reference drawing is usually not notified of the correction. If the design of the referencing drawing is heavily dependent on the referenced drawing, or if the drawing of the referencing drawing has already been released, inconsistencies may occur between the drawings or the drawing may not be There is a risk of conflicting with. In the present invention, each time a user makes a reference to notify a worker or an administrator of the possibility of these failures, a reference relationship (a reference destination, a reference source, and a citation count) is performed as a reference / quotation process as shown in FIG. ) Is recorded in the reference / quotation table 26.

Further, once a drawing is released, there is a concern that the reliability of the drawing itself may be reduced by subsequent editing. If the referenced drawing is edited without editing the drawing file itself, the editing also affects the drawing itself. In such a case, in order to point out a discrepancy between the drawing and the file, in the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 5, the release ID, the worker I
The drawing history is recorded in the drawing record table 27 together with information such as D, drawing ID, purpose, and print date and time. Simply temporal context is sufficient to point out the above problem, but the drawing purpose may be entered to provide more detailed information to the user. This makes it possible to judge whether the drawing action is a drawing for check purposes to be discarded or a drawing to be submitted to the supervisor for approval, and to re-draw when editing the drawing or correcting the external reference drawing It will be a factor in determining whether to do so.

When the CAD is activated and editing is performed, when editing of the design drawing is completed as shown in FIG. 6 as an editing end process (step S41), the reason for communication / warning of the updated or added drawing is as follows. It is checked whether or not there is a message (step S42). If there is a reason for contact / warning, a contact / warning table is added (step S43).

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration including a data processing device, a database, an input device, and an output device has been described. However, in operation, a plurality of clients are connected to a network using the above-described system as a server, and a plurality of administrators and tasks are performed. Is configured to allow access according to the authority by the user. In this case, transfer the drawing file at hand when editing the drawing, and return it to the file transfer server when you finish editing,
All drawing files may be managed by the file transfer server.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a plurality of drawing data tree-connected by the parent drawing attribute information according to the editing history of the design drawing, and the editing authority for each drawing data Registration means for registering the drawing data, update registration means for registering the contents of editing for each drawing data, editing registration means for registering the drawing data being edited, and editing by the registration contents of the authority registration means and the editing registration means Manages the drawings being edited and the editing history of drawings based on the parent drawing attributes of the drawing data and the registered contents of the update registration means.
Since it is provided with a drawing editing history management means for editing a design drawing, and a drawing drawing editing history management system capable of drawing and editing a drawing simultaneously by a plurality of workers,
At the end of editing, the operator, the drawing, and the updated contents are recorded, and by managing the history of the drawing, multiple drawings can be managed in parallel, and a lock can be applied when the drawing is used. In addition, editing authority can be set for a combination of a staff and a drawing, thereby preventing a plurality of workers from editing the same drawing.

Further, reference history registering means for registering the reference / quote history of the drawing at the time of editing, release history registering means for registering the drawing history, and warning registering means for registering contact and warning information. The editing history management means manages the editing authority and the drawing being edited based on the registration contents of the authority registration means and the editing registration means, the parent drawing attribute of the drawing data, the update registration means, the reference history registration means, The history of drawing editing, reference / quotation, and drawing is managed based on the registered contents of the drawing history registering means, and information on communication and warnings is sent to the warning registering means based on the drawing editing, reference / quoting, and drawing history. Since registration is performed, the worker, drawing, date and time, and, if necessary, the purpose of printing are recorded at the time of printing, and when external drawings are imported using external references, that information is recorded, and reference / quotation and release history are recorded. Edits are made to drawings with Case, it is possible to perform communication and warning on the basis of its content, problems such as falsification of public file can be issued a warning to occur.
