Description

  In the present invention, when producing custom-made varieties whose specifications have been changed according to customer orders, instead of the standard varieties prepared in advance by the producer, instructions on how to change the specifications of the custom-made varieties are given to each department on the producer side. This invention relates to a custom-made production instruction method, its system and program.

  In general industrial products (hereinafter abbreviated as products), producers often predict customer needs, set several types (standard varieties), and produce and sell these standard varieties. There are also products that produce custom-made varieties with some specifications changed according to customer orders. For example, a residential distribution board (hereinafter referred to as a housing board) stipulated in Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS C8328) is a cabinet installed in a construction material, a main switch assembled in the cabinet, a branch switch, Although it is composed of multiple parts such as an earth leakage circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as internal equipment), there are many types of cabinets and internal equipment with different specifications, and some of these combinations are set as standard types. In addition, a unique product number is assigned to each standard product, and the design department, manufacturing department, purchasing department, etc. on the producer (household board manufacturer) side identifies the standard product by each product number, and for each standard product Based on drawing data created in advance by a design department using a CAD system, a purchasing department purchases a standard product part, and a manufacturing department manufactures the standard product.

Then, when an order for a custom product is received from a customer, the design department creates a custom product drawing data by modifying the standard product drawing data according to the specifications of the custom product. The person in charge extracts the differences by comparing the drawing data of the custom-made varieties with the drawing data of the standard varieties. Based on the extracted differences, the parts list for the custom-made varieties and the manufacturing work procedure manual are created. Arrangements and work instructions were performed. Alternatively, instead of creating a parts list or manufacturing work procedure manual based on the differences extracted by the person in charge, it is input to a dedicated CAD system that can input the changed part of the standard model drawing data. In addition, parts arrangements and work instructions have been performed by distributing a drawing showing a list of parts of a custom-made product printed from the CAD system and a changed part to a purchasing department or a manufacturing department (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a housing board is a product will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the product targeted by the present invention is not limited to a housing board, but can be any industrial product for which a custom-made product may be produced according to a customer order.

  The housing board includes a cabinet installed in the building material, a main switch (main trunk breaker) assembled in the cabinet, and a plurality of branch switches (branch breakers). The cabinet is composed of boxes, covers, front plates, doors, etc., but the presence or absence of covers and doors, facility type (exposed, embedded or exposed embedded shared type), current limiter (limiter) There are many types depending on the difference in specifications such as the presence / absence of installation location (limiter space) and the number of branch breakers that can be installed. In addition, there are many types of trunk breakers and branch breakers depending on differences in specifications such as rated current, rated voltage, or the presence / absence of a single-phase three-wire neutral wire phase loss protection function. Therefore, there are a great many types of housing boards that combine cabinets, main breakers, and branch breakers, but not all combinations are actually used, so the housing boards are manufactured. A manufacturer (producer) sets a combination of relatively frequently used items as a standard product and describes it in a catalog or the like and stocks it in anticipation of some demand. For combinations that are not set as standard varieties, they are custom-made varieties that are produced by drawing creation, parts arrangement, assembly, etc. according to orders from customers.

  For example, a housing board composed of a cabinet having a limiter space, one main breaker and ten branch breakers is set as a standard product, and the type of main breaker is changed according to customer orders and four units If it is necessary to add the branch breaker 3 of the product, if the combination after the change is not set as a standard product, that is, a custom product, a drawing corresponding to the changed contents (hereinafter referred to as a special product) A product type drawing) is created, and the created custom product type drawing is sent to a purchasing department or an assembly department to arrange parts that need to be replaced or added, and to prepare an assembly work procedure manual. Conventionally, the person in charge of each department extracts the difference by comparing the custom-made product drawing with the standard product drawing, and based on the extracted difference, the person in charge uses the parts list for the custom-made product and the manufacturing work procedure manual. Or the differences extracted by the person in charge are input to a dedicated CAD system, and the parts list of custom-made varieties printed out from the CAD system and drawings showing the changes are displayed to the purchasing department and the manufacturing department. Distributing parts and providing work instructions.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a general-purpose CAD system is used to create a custom-made product drawing by changing the standard product drawing corresponding to the custom-made specification, and the CAD is created when the custom-made product drawing is created. The operation history of changes left by the system is stored in the storage device as change history data, the change history data stored in the storage device is read using a computer, and the standard from the custom-made product drawing based on the read change history data It is characterized in that changes and changes different from the product drawing are extracted as production instruction information of the custom-made product, and the extracted production instruction information is presented to a department in charge such as a purchasing department or an assembly department. For example, in the custom-made product drawing A shown in FIG. 1, the outermost rectangle represents the cabinet 1, and the rectangles drawn on the inside represent the main breaker 2, the branch breakers 3 _{1 to} 3 ₁₄ , and the limiter space 4, respectively. The line segments drawn so as to connect these represent the main wiring 5, the branch wiring 6, and the transition wiring 7, respectively. However, branch breakers 3 ₁ to 3 ₁₄ No. 1-14 marked on the inside of the figure representing the represents a number given to each branch circuit.

Then, according to the customer's order, the main breaker 2 in the standard product drawing is exchanged from the standard product M1 to the custom product M2, and the operation for adding the custom product B2 as four branch breakers 3 _{11 to} 3 ₁₄ is performed by the CAD system. Since the CAD system itself stores the operation history and is stored in the hard disk device or the like as a file of the change history data LG when the custom order product drawing A is made, the custom product type is based on the change history data LG. Changes and changes from the drawing A that are different from the standard product drawing can be extracted as the production instruction information X of the custom-made product, and the custom-made production instruction information X is displayed in a computer installed in each department as will be described later. So that it can be printed on paper, printed on paper, or sent to an email manager by email is there.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a system for carrying out the custom-made production instruction method of the present embodiment is a general-purpose personal computer system, that is, a motherboard, a hard disk device, an optical drive device, a NIC (network interface) equipped with a CPU and a memory. Card) and the like, a hardware including a computer main body 10 in a case, a CRT or liquid crystal display device 11, an input device (not shown) such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a book using these hardware. It is composed of software (computer program) that implements the custom-made production instruction method of the invention. The computer program for custom production instruction according to the present invention can be provided by being recorded on various recording media such as a CD, a DVD, or a magnetic disk.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the department in charge of housing board production, for example, the sales department that receives orders from customers, the design department in charge of design, the purchasing department in charge of purchasing parts, and parts Are installed as client computers CC1, CC2, CC3,..., And connected to each client computer CCn (n = 1, 2,...) Via the NIC via the communication cable 12. The server computer SC constituting the network is installed. This network is constructed by a general-purpose LAN such as 100BASE-TX, for example, and the server computer SC and the client computer CCn have operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows (R)) that support TCP / IP and SMTP. The server computer SC, the client computer CCn, and the client computer CCn can transmit data, and each client computer CCn can also exchange electronic mails via the server computer SC.

  Further, the client computer CCn is equipped with a general-purpose CAD system having a function of saving an operation history. Using this CAD system, each client computer CCn modifies the standard product drawing and makes a custom product drawing. Can be created. The standard model drawing data described in the catalog etc. is centrally managed by a standard model drawing data master (not shown) in the server computer SC, and the custom model drawing data created by the client computer CCn is stored in the server computer SCn. Centrally managed by a custom-made product type drawing data master (not shown) in the computer SC. Therefore, when creating a custom model drawing according to the customer's order, each client computer CCn downloads the desired standard model drawing data from the standard model drawing data master of the server computer SC, and the person in charge uses the CAD system for the custom model. A drawing is created, and the created customized product drawing data is uploaded to a customized product drawing data master of the server computer SC. Here, the CAD system installed in the client computer CCn is an operation performed by an operator when creating a custom model drawing from a standard model drawing, for example, an operation for replacing a part with another part or a new part. An operation history (change history data) such as an operation to be added is recorded as a file on a hard disk device or the like.

  Here, the contents remaining in the file as the change history data include parts exchange (main trunk breaker 2, branch breaker 3n, etc.), part addition, character string addition, color change, necessity of inquiry about whether parts can be changed, The number of changes of the same part and the reason for the change. FIG. 3 shows a table listing the contents of the change history data file. The order in which the operations were performed in the CAD system (the “processing order number” in the first column), the date on which the operations were performed (the second column) “Year / month / day”), hour / minute / second when the operation was performed (“hour / minute / second” in the third column), name of the client computer CCn where the operation was performed (“terminal name” in the fourth column), operation The user name (“user name” in the fifth column), the file name of the original standard model drawing (“standard model drawing file name” in the sixth column), the file name of the custom model drawing to be created, and the operation history File name to be stored ("Change history file name and custom model drawing file name" in the seventh column), and operation devices such as the keyboard and pointing device (mouse, etc.) used for the operation ("Operating device" in the eighth column) )), Operation content ("operation content" in the ninth column) Position of the operation target on the drawing (“Coordinate X” in the 10th column and “Coordinate Y” in the 11th column), processing content performed by the CAD system (“Computer processing content” in the 12th column), and the CAD system And the remarks (“Remarks” in the 14th column) including other precautions, etc., are provided. Further, FIGS. 4 to 10 show main items (“processing order number” in the first column, “change history file name and custom order” in the seventh column for each of the ranges D1 to D7 corresponding to the above contents from the table of FIG. The table shows only the “model drawing file name”, “coordinate X” in the 10th column, “coordinate Y” in the 11th column, and “computer processing content” in the 12th column.

  Next, the contents of the change history data when the custom-made product drawing shown in FIG. 1 is created by the CAD system will be described with reference to FIGS.

  An operator who wants to create a custom-made product drawing can select either a standard product drawing data (for example, a standard product drawing file with the file name “STD12345”) from which the custom product is created from the standard product drawing data master of the server computer SC. Is downloaded to the hard disk device of the client computer CCn, the CAD system is started up by the client computer CCn, the downloaded standard product drawing file is opened, and the standard product drawing is displayed on the screen of the display device.

  The operator first selects the main breaker 2 by clicking inside the rectangle representing the main breaker 2 with a pointing device such as a mouse in order to exchange the main breaker 2 from the standard type M1 to the custom-made type M2. The character string “M1” inserted in the rectangle is deleted, and the character string “M2” is input using the keyboard. Then, in the CAD system, the registered name of the rectangular figure is changed from “main trunk breaker M1” to “main trunk breaker M2”, and the changed drawing data is changed to the drawing data of the custom-made product (for example, the file name “SPC12345-000055” Write to the hard disk device as a custom-made product drawing file), and record a series of operation histories (contents of each item in each row of the processing order numbers 100 to 109 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4) in operation history data (for example, a file A change history file with the name “SPC12345-000055”). Since the custom product drawing file and the change history file have different data contents and have different extensions (not shown), these two files can be identified by their extensions.

  Subsequently, in order to add the branch breaker 3, the operator clicks and selects the inside of the rectangle representing the branch breaker 3 with a pointing device, copies the figure (rectangle), and further adds the branch breaker 3. Click to select and paste the copied figure (rectangle) at that position. Then, in the CAD system, the registered name of the pasted figure is set to the same registered name “branch breaker B1” as the copy source, and the custom-made product drawing file with the file name “SPC12345-000056” is rewritten with the changed drawing data and the hard disk device And the operation history data (for example, the file name “SPC12345-000056”) is changed to the series of operation history (the contents of the above items in each row of the processing order numbers 200 to 211 shown in FIGS. 3 and 5). (History file) is written to the hard disk device.

  Next, the operator designates the vicinity of the figure (rectangle) representing the added part (branch breaker 3), opens a text box, and inputs the character string “part addition B1” from the keyboard to the text box. Then, the CAD system displays the input character string on the display screen, rewrites the custom-made product drawing file with the file name “SPC12345-000057” with the modified drawing data, writes it to the hard disk drive, and the above series of operation history. (The contents of each item in each row of the processing order numbers 300 to 304 shown in FIGS. 3 and 6) are written in the hard disk device as operation history data (for example, a change history file with the file name “SPC12345-000057”). At this time, a CR code (line feed) is input after the character string “Add component B1” in the text box, and another character string (for example, “Caution required”) is further input. "B1" can be designated vertically, and any operation is included in the change history file as an operation history (see FIGS. 3 and 6).

  When the color of the main breaker 2 is changed from “white” to “black”, the operator selects the main breaker 2 by clicking inside the rectangle representing the main breaker 2 with a pointing device such as a mouse. In addition to deleting the “white” character string inserted in the, the “black” character string is input using the keyboard. Then, in the CAD system, the registered name of the rectangle figure is changed from “Master Breaker M1 (White)” to “Master Breaker M2 (Black)”, and the modified drawing data is a custom-made product with the file name “SPC12345-000058” In addition to writing to the hard disk device as a drawing file, the above-described series of operation histories (contents of the above items in each row of the processing order numbers 400 to 409 shown in FIGS. 3 and 7) are used as operation history data (for example, file name “SPC12345 -000058 "change history file) to the hard disk device.

  By the way, when a part (for example, main breaker 2) is replaced, it may be necessary to inquire each department in charge as to whether or not the part can be replaced. For example, if the above inquiry is required when the main breaker 2 is exchanged from the standard type M1 to the custom-made type M2, the worker selects and inserts the rectangle representing the main breaker 2 with the pointing device “M1”. And a character string “? M2” including a character “?” Indicating that an inquiry is necessary is input from the keyboard. Then, in the CAD system, the registration name of the rectangular figure is changed from “Master Breaker M1” to “Master Breaker? M2”, and the changed drawing data is a hard disk device as a custom-made product drawing file with the file name “SPC12345-000059”. And the operation history data (for example, the file name “SPC12345-000059”) is changed to the above-described series of operation history (the contents of each item in each row of the processing order numbers 500 to 509 shown in FIGS. 3 and 8). (History file) is written to the hard disk device.

  In addition, when changing the added branch breaker 3 (for example, three) from the standard product B1 to the custom product B2, the worker clicks the inside of the rectangle representing the one branch breaker 3 with the pointing device. Then, while holding down the shift key of the keyboard and selecting by clicking the rectangle representing the remaining two branch breakers 3 with the pointing device, it is inserted into the rectangle representing one of the branch breakers 3. The character string “B1” is deleted, and the character string “B2” is input using the keyboard. Then, in the CAD system, the registered names of the three rectangular figures corresponding to the three branch breakers 3 in the selected state are changed from “branch breaker B1” to “branch breaker B2”, and the changed drawing data is the file name. In addition to writing to the hard disk device as a custom-made product type drawing file of “SPC12345-000060”, the series of operation histories (the contents of the above items in each row of the processing order numbers 600 to 622 shown in FIGS. 3 and 9) Data is written to the hard disk device as data (for example, a change history file with the file name “SPC12345-000060”).

  Furthermore, a text box is opened by designating the vicinity of the figure (rectangle) representing the part (main trunk breaker 2) replaced by the operator, and the reason for replacement in the text box (for example, “reason: for adding M1 capacity”) When the character string indicating is input from the keyboard, the CAD system displays the input character string on the display screen and rewrites the custom model drawing file with the file name “SPC12345-000061” with the changed drawing data to the hard disk device. In addition to writing, the series of operation histories (contents of each item in each row of the processing order numbers 700 to 705 shown in FIGS. 3 and 10) is changed to operation history data (for example, the change history of the file name “SPC12345-000061”) File) to the hard disk drive.

  By the way, when a part of a standard product drawing needs to be changed or added at the same time when creating a custom product drawing, for example, when adding a branch breaker 3, a branch wiring 6 is also added. There is a need. Therefore, the contents of changes inevitably caused by such specification changes are stored in the server computer SC as a database, and the contents of changes inevitably caused by referring to the database when changing the drawing by the CAD system are described. If the presence / absence is determined and the contents of the change are automatically reflected in the custom-made product drawing data, it is possible to prevent parts from being replaced or missing due to the specification change. Changes automatically made by the CAD system in this way are also saved in the change history file.

  The custom-made product drawing data (custom product product drawing files with the file names “SPC12345-000055” to “SPC12345-00061”) created from the standard product drawing as described above are uploaded from the client computer CC to the server computer SC, and the server computer Stored in the SC custom-made product drawing data master.

  Next, the custom-order production instruction method, its system, and program which are the gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, the computer, the storage device, the production instruction information extraction device, and the presentation device equipped with the CAD system, which constitute the custom production instruction system according to the present invention, are all constituted by the client computer CCn.

  First, the custom-made production instruction program of the present invention is started on the client computer CC for which the creation of the custom-made product drawing is completed, and the file name of the change history data of the created custom-made product drawing ("SPC12345-000055" to "SPC12345-000061") Is designated (S1). Since each file of designated change history data is stored in the hard disk device when the custom-made product drawing is created, the file is read from the hard disk device into the working memory. Then, it is checked whether or not the change history data of the change history file read into the working memory has an operation history in which the attribute (for example, registered name) has been changed for the registered graphic (S2). If there is an operation history in which the character string indicating the type of the main breaker 2 is changed from “M1” to “M2” (operation history of the processing order numbers 106 and 107 in FIG. 4), the contents of the attribute change, that is, the main breaker The fact that 2 is replaced from the standard product M1 to the custom product M2 is written in the custom production instruction information file (S3). In addition, a code (for example, the letter “A”) that only changes the attribute and the number of parts to be changed are added to the end of the file name “SPC12345-000055” of the custom model drawing file saved on the hard disk device. Then, the file name is rewritten as “SPC12345-000055-A2” (S4).

  Next, it is checked whether or not the change history data of the change history file read into the working memory includes an unregistered figure and an operation history whose attribute has been changed (S5). For example, a figure representing the branch breaker 3 and its figure If there is an operation history (operation history of processing order numbers 209 and 210 in FIG. 5) to which an attribute (character string “B1”) is added, the contents of the component and its attribute addition, that is, the branch breaker 3 of the standard product type is added. Is written in the custom-made production instruction information file (S6). In addition, a code (for example, the letter “B”) indicating the addition of a part and the number of additional parts are added to the end of the file name “SPC12345-000056” of the custom model drawing file stored in the hard disk device. The file name is rewritten as “SPC12345-000056-B1” (S7). At this time, if the file name of the custom model drawing file has been rewritten to “SPC12345-000055-A2”, it is added to the end as “SPC12345-000055-A2B1”.

  Further, it is checked whether or not there is an operation history in which an unregistered character string is added or a registered character string is changed in the change history data of the change history file read in the working memory (S8). If there is an operation history to which the character string “part addition B1” has been added (operation history of the processing order number 304 in FIG. 6), the contents of the addition of the character string, that is, that the character string “part addition B1” has been added. Write to the custom production instruction information file (S9). At this time, if there is an operation history in which a CR code is input to the character string or an operation history in which the character string is designated vertically, information to that effect is also written in the custom production instruction information file. In addition, a code (for example, the letter “C”) indicating the addition of a character string and the number of additional parts are added to the end of the file name “SPC12345-000057” of the custom-made product drawing file stored in the hard disk device. Then, the file name is rewritten as “SPC12345-000057-C3” (S10). At this time, if the file name of the custom model drawing file has been rewritten to “SPC12345-000055-A2” or “SPC12345-000055-A2B1”, it may be added at the end.

  Next, in the added character string, the server computer SC matches the character string (part name) registered in the part data master that manages the names and the like of the standard product parts used for the housing board. For example, if the character string “B1” matches, it can be determined that the branch breaker 3 of the standard product B1 corresponding to this character string has been added. The fact that the branch breaker 3 of B1 has been added is written in the custom production instruction information file (S12).

  Further, it is checked whether or not there is a special symbol in the added character string (S13). For example, an operation history in which a character string of “master breaker? M2” including the symbol “?” Is added (the processing order in FIG. 8). If there is an operation history (numbers 507 and 508), the content of the symbol “?”, That is, the custom-made production instruction information indicates that an inquiry is required when replacing the main breaker 2 from the standard product M1 to the custom product M2. Write to the file (S14). Further, it is checked whether or not there is a special character string in the added character string (S15), for example, an operation of adding a character string “reason: for adding M1 capacity” including the special character string “reason”. If there is a history (operation history of the processing order number 704 in FIG. 10), the reason for change, that is, the reason for replacing the main breaker 2 from the standard product M1 to the custom product M2 (addition of capacity) is written in the custom production instruction information file ( S16) The custom-made production instruction information file is stored in the hard disk device.

  FIG. 12 shows the contents of the custom-made production instruction information file created as described above (custom-made production instruction information). FIG. 13 shows the contents of the standard product drawing data that is the basis of the custom-made product in the custom-made production instruction information file. FIG. 14 shows changes in the standard product drawing data in the custom product drawing data in the custom production instruction information file in a list format. That is, by referring to the custom-made production instruction information file shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, it is possible to easily grasp the addition or change from the standard product to the custom-made product. By presenting it to each responsible department such as a department or an assembly department, it is possible to easily and reliably give instructions regarding the production of custom-made varieties to each responsible department. Moreover, such custom-made production instruction information can be extracted by using a function for leaving an operation history provided in a general-purpose CAD system, so that the labor and cost of developing a dedicated CAD system are not required. Here, as means for presenting the custom-made production instruction information file to each department in charge, it may be transmitted by e-mail to the client computer CC installed in each department in charge via the server computer SC. Also, based on the custom-made production instruction information, create a changed parts list for only parts that have been changed from the standard type and a list of all parts for all parts, including parts that have not been changed, and present the changed parts list. If you urge the purchasing department to prepare parts for a custom-made product that is different from the standard product, and present the list of all the parts above to encourage the assembly department to arrange the parts required for assembling the custom-made product, Information necessary for each person in charge can be provided in an easily understandable form.

  In the present embodiment, the production instruction information includes the file name of the custom-made product drawing, and the file name includes a code (A, B, C, etc.) indicating the content of the change of the part and a code ( (SPC) is added, so it is possible to grasp the outline of the changes in the custom-made product from the file name of the drawing of the custom-made product (for example, “SPC12345-000055-A2B1C1”, etc.) There is. In addition, in the CAD system of the client computer CC, if the drawings of the custom-made varieties are reconfigured based on the changes from the standard varieties included in the custom-made production instruction information, the drawings of the custom-made varieties can be obtained immediately at each department in charge. This makes it possible to quickly prepare for production and reduce work errors.

  By the way, if the changes and changes included in the custom-made production instruction information are arranged in an order suitable for the assembly of parts, the production instruction information can be used for designing work procedures in the production of special-made varieties, and the design work can be made more efficient and shortened. Can be achieved. For this purpose, the basic information of the work procedure is held in the server computer SC, and when the custom-made production instruction information is extracted, the basic information is downloaded from the server computer SC to the client computer CC and arranged with reference to the basic information. You can change it. In addition, if there are multiple custom-made varieties, if these custom-made production instruction information is arranged in the order of delivery of each special-made varieties and presented to each department in charge, the production instruction information can be used for planning production plans in the production of custom-made varieties. Efficiency and shortening. Information regarding the delivery date of each custom-made product type is stored in the server computer SC, and when the custom production instruction information is extracted, the delivery date information is downloaded from the server computer SC to the client computer CC, and the delivery date information is referred to and arranged. You can change it.

  By the way, the part price information is held in the server computer SC, and the price of each part replaced or added when extracting the custom production instruction information is downloaded from the server computer SC and included in the custom production instruction information file. By doing so, it is possible to present the price difference with the standard product in advance to the customer who ordered the custom product, and the customer satisfaction is improved. Further, when checking the specifications with the customer, if only the changed points are picked up and presented from the custom-made production instruction information file, there is an advantage that the confirmation work can be performed easily and reliably. In addition, the type and number of all the components that make up the custom-made product are checked from the custom-made production instruction information, and the content of the device is compared with the content of the standard product managed by the standard product drawing data master of the server computer SC. (1) Standard type with the same content of all components, (2) Standard type with different main breaker types, (3) Standard type with same number of branch breakers and different types, (4) Branch Search for standard varieties that meet the conditions such as standard varieties with one or more breakers, (5) standard varieties with more or less branch breakers, and find standard varieties that meet these conditions. If found, if the standard product is presented to the customer, it is possible to propose to the customer a method that does not require a special order, thereby improving customer satisfaction.

  By the way, the contents of changes from custom production instruction information for multiple cases to custom-made varieties, such as the number of replacements of main breakers and branch breakers, the number of additions of branch breakers, etc. are tabulated. It is possible to grasp the trend of changes to custom-made varieties based on the aggregated results such as how often they were adopted and how many branch breakers were added. By setting it, customer satisfaction can be improved by shortening the delivery time. It should be noted that if there is a complaint from a customer as a result of changing from the standard product type, it is desirable to keep a record with the custom product type drawing data so as not to make the same change.
