Graphic data for D / CAM is completed.

Finally, based on the graphic data combined in operation E, a completed layout drawing and sheet metal working drawing drafting work (work F) for drawing a completed layout drawing and sheet metal working drawing is performed.

Regarding the details of these operations A to F,
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, one three-dimensional housing graphic data is selected from the housing graphic data file 74 by an operation of the operation unit 73 by the operator, and three three-dimensional housing graphic data indicated by the three-dimensional housing graphic data are selected. The three-dimensional housing figure is displayed on the display device 72 (S41).

Next, by the operation of the operation unit 73 by the operator, the three-dimensional appliance graphic data and the number of appliances are selected from the appliance graphic data file 75 (S42), and the selected three-dimensional appliance graphic data is displayed. The displayed three-dimensional appliance graphic is displayed on the display device 72 (S4).

Next, based on the three-dimensional figure arranged in step S45, the operator checks whether there is any appliance that has not been arranged yet (S46). If there is a device that is not placed (S46: Yes), the process returns to step S44. On the other hand, when all the predetermined appliances are arranged (S46: No), the three-dimensional graphic data is registered in an arrangement appliance input data file (not shown).

Next, the operator selects whether or not to combine the three-dimensional figure data registered in step S46 with the hole processing figure data of the mounting hole for mounting the tool on the arrangement panel 55. If the hole-figure figure data is not to be combined and arranged (S47: No), a three-dimensional figure of the housing 50 in which the appliance is arranged is displayed based on the three-dimensional figure data registered in step S46 (S48). . When drawing on a two-dimensional plane based on the three-dimensional graphic data (S49: Yes), the process proceeds to step S16 described later. On the other hand, when drafting based on the three-dimensional graphic data is not performed (S49: No), the three-dimensional graphic data is stored and stored in a not-shown arrangement tool input data file (S50).

In step S47, if hole machining graphic data is combined with the three-dimensional graphic data registered in step S46 and arranged (S47: Yes),

[0024]

However, such a conventional three-dimensional graphic data arrangement apparatus has the following problems.

That is, steps S51 to S51 shown in FIG.
In S54, the operation of selecting predetermined hole drilling figure data from the hole drilling figure data file 76 is performed by the operator by confirming the arranged tool figure data one by one.

Further, the apparatus graphic data is synthesized with the housing graphic data performed in the three-dimensional graphic apparatus 71.
The operation of combining and arranging a hole-drilled figure based on the hole-drilled figure data with the dimensional figure is also performed by a manual operation such as a mouse operation by an operator while checking on the display device 72 by the operator.

However, it is not easy for the operator to select a plurality of hole machining graphic data without mistake. Also,
It is not easy for the operator to place the drilled figure data at a predetermined position by a manual operation performed while checking on the display device 72, and it requires a lot of time. In particular, recently, it has been observed to design the housing from the viewpoint of design rather than functionality, and accordingly, the three-dimensional graphic device 71 has been designed for more complicated shapes. There is a need for a function that can also be applied.

For example, as shown in FIG. 17, it is conceivable that a mounting hole 66d is formed obliquely to the surface of the arrangement panel 63. That is, in the past, the mounting hole is almost always drilled in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the arrangement panel 63 like the mounting hole 66c. For this reason, the direction in which the mounting holes are drilled is handled by the three-dimensional graphic device 71 such as a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface.
The parameter of the drilling angle θ, which is the angle of the mounting hole with respect to the mounting surface, is not considered.

As described above, the three-dimensional graphic data arrangement apparatus according to the prior art has a problem that the burden on the operator is large and the working efficiency is low because the ratio of operation by the operator is large. Furthermore, when the housing is designed from the viewpoint of design, the parameter of the drilling angle θ with respect to the mounting surface of the mounting hole must be taken into consideration as described above. Obviously, the burden is high and the work efficiency is reduced.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, there is a method of eliminating the work of selecting and combining hole drilling graphic data by using the tool graphic data in which the hole drilling graphic data is incorporated in advance. However, in this case, the amount of data of one piece of figure data becomes enormous, and a large amount of time is required when combining and arranging the case figure data and the figure figure data in the three-dimensional figure apparatus 71. It is not a solution.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and based on the tools arranged in the housing, selects the corresponding drilling figure data and determines the shape of the housing in which the tools are placed. The drilling figure data corresponding to the three-dimensional figure data is combined and arranged in consideration of the drilling direction of the mounting hole, thereby increasing the versatility and reducing the burden on the operator to improve the work efficiency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a three-dimensional graphic data arranging device capable of performing the same.

Means, hole drilling figure data storage means storing hole drilling figure data including mounting hole information, shape information and dimensional information for each mounting hole, and mounting hole information of object figure data stored in object figure data storage means Is compared with the mounting hole information of the hole processing graphic data stored in the hole processing graphic data storage means. If the two mounting hole information match, the matched mounting hole information is compared with the mounting hole information data. Mounting hole information data creating means, and the drilling graphic data including the corresponding mounting hole information from the drilling graphic data storage means based on the mounting hole information data created by the mounting hole information data creating means. Hole machining graphic data extraction means to be extracted, housing graphic data of a housing, object graphic data of an object placed in the housing, and a mounting hole included in the object graphic data extracted by the hole machining graphic data extraction means Based on the drilling figure data including mounting hole information that matches the information, a three-dimensional figure is created by combining a housing, an object arranged in the housing, and a mounting hole for mounting the object to the housing. A three-dimensional figure creating means.

Therefore, in the three-dimensional graphic data arranging apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the drilling graphic data corresponding to the arranged object is automatically selected. Further, it is possible to easily create a three-dimensional figure in which the housing, the object arranged in the housing, the mounting hole for mounting the object to the housing, and the perforation angle are combined.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the third aspect of the present invention.
In the three-dimensional figure data arranging apparatus, a drawing part for drawing based on the three-dimensional figure created by the three-dimensional figure creation part is added.

Therefore, in the three-dimensional graphic data arranging apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, the drawing can be performed based on the three-dimensional graphic created by the three-dimensional graphic creating means.
