In the following, instead of the expression of the step, the expression of the functional unit is used. The file device 203 stores an index diagram file 107, a drawing file 108, an attribute file 109, and a grouping file 101.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the attribute file 109 is managed as a file divided into facility units having the same attribute contents, such as a water pipe and a water supply device, and the attribute data of each facility is tabulated. Is stored. Grouping file 11
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), 0 indicates the correspondence between the attribute and the figure, and the corresponding attribute file name and the corresponding attribute for the drawing No. and the figure NO. The record number in the file is stored in the form of a correspondence table.

Specifically, the attribute file in FIG. 4 (a) is filed in sections of water pipes, water supply devices,..., For example, in the case of water pipes, there are three categories of NO. Is the number 100
To several thousand sections), and for each section, the diameter of the distribution pipe (250, 10
0,150), pipe type (ACP, DIP, CIP), extension pipe length (335.6,7
3.5, 110.0, (meter)), facility year (S53, S37, S28)
Is set as data.

Further, the grouping file in FIG. 4 is divided into four (in fact, more), drawing No. (15, 23, 6), drawing No. (385, 26, 316, 823), attribute file (water pipe, water supply Equipment, water supply equipment, distribution pipe), attribute No. (256,1136,635,
2758). The drawing number indicates the drawing number (1, 2,..., N) sectioned in FIG. 3 (a), and the figure number indicates the number specifying the figure in each drawing (that is, the drawing is It is regarded as a set of figures, and a figure number is given to each figure in order to specify the figure.) The attribute file is shown in FIG.
Attribute file name, and the attribute number is the attribute number in the attribute file (the leftmost number in FIG. 4 (a))
Is shown.

Next, the relationship between the operation, operation, and display of each of the functional units 111 to 117 in the CPU 201 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 5 is a flowchart for operation and display when searching a drawing from attributes, and FIGS. 6 to 10 show display examples.
In the following example, it is assumed that a water distribution pipe is searched from a water supply facility drawing by year and pipe type.

When searching a drawing from an attribute, first, the icon item “attribute search” in the icon area 102 (FIG. 1) is selected using the mouse 207 (step 501 in FIG. 5).

The selected icon item is input by the operation input function unit 111, and the attribute search control function unit 112 is also operated.

All subsequent inputs from the mouse 207 and keyboard 206 are passed to the attribute search control function unit 112.

An example of this attribute file list display is shown in FIG. In the figure, five types of attribute files (1 water pipe, 2 water supply, 3
Fire hydrant, 4 gate valve, 5 pressure reducing valve). This list is a facility list.

All subsequent displays are performed via the display editing function unit 117.

Next, one search target is selected from the attribute files shown in FIG. 6 (step 502 in FIG. 5). This selection is made with the mouse 207.

Upon receiving the selection result, the attribute search control function unit 112 displays a search condition list in accordance with the configuration of the attribute file 109 taken in earlier (step 502A in FIG. 5). This display example is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 (a) shows an example in which a water distribution pipe is selected.
O., 2 caliber, 3 pipe type, 4 extension, 5th year "is shown. However, in FIG. 7 (a), the portion inside [] for each item is blank.

Next, search conditions are input from the keyboard 206 to the search condition input list (step 503 in FIG. 5). The attribute search control function unit 112 (FIG. 1) displays the input condition as shown in FIG. 7B (step 50 in FIG. 5).
2A). FIG. 7 (b) shows two input conditions of "ACP" as the pipe type and before 1950 (≤S30) as the facility year. That is, according to the display contents of FIG.
This means that P was required to search for water pipes laid before 1955.

When the search condition input step 503 ends, the attribute search control function unit 112 (FIG. 1) gives the input search condition to the attribute search function unit 115 (FIG. 1). Attribute search function 115
Searches the attribute file 109 for a record of attribute data that matches the search condition, and returns the result to the attribute search control function unit 112.

Here, the record is a figure constituting one drawing of FIG. 3 (b), and a number is added to each figure. This number is called a record number or a figure number.

The attribute search control function unit 112 gives the record number of the attribute data to the grouping figure search function unit 116 in order to obtain the correspondence between the attribute data obtained above and the drawing data. The grouping figure search function unit 116 includes the grouping file 110
Is searched for the correspondence table between the attribute and the graphic shown in FIG. As a result, the drawing number corresponding to the record number of the given attribute data and the figure N in the corresponding drawing
O. is searched, and the result is sent to the attribute search control function unit 112.

The attribute search control unit 112 displays the attribute search result list and the corresponding drawing position on the index diagram in order to post the correspondence between the drawing and the attribute data matching the search conditions obtained above to the user ( 503A to 503C in FIG. 5).

This display example is shown in FIG. Data column 801 in the upper right of the figure
Is an attribute search result list, and it can be seen that five examples were extracted as a list of ACP pipelines before 1955 (502A). An example of a map display excluding the list in FIG. 8 is an index diagram, in which six names of towns A to F are displayed. A distinction ratio (hatched in the example shown) is displayed for the mesh division drawing corresponding to the coordinate position of the list on the index diagram (803).
(Step 503C in FIG. 5). In the figure, five divided drawings are displayed in a differentiated manner corresponding to five lists.

The index diagram is stored in the index diagram file 107, and is read and displayed by the index diagram search unit 113.

Next, in order to see the correspondence between each line on the list (in FIG. 8, a list of 5 lines) and the drawing, a line instruction on the attribute search list (step 504 in FIG. 5) is performed using the mouse 207. . As a result, the designated line is selected and highlighted (step 504A in FIG. 5).

FIG. 9 shows an example of highlighting. The second row of the list is selected with the mouse and displayed in parentheses (901), and at the same time, the divided drawing in town B at the position corresponding to the second row on the index diagram is highlighted (in the example shown, a stitch-like display). Have been. Next, in order to search and display a target drawing, a drawing position indication (step 505 in FIG. 5) to be displayed on the index diagram is performed using the mouse 207 (step 505 in FIG. 5). In the example of FIG. 9, the user designates the highlighted B town division drawing. As a result, the display command of the drawing corresponding to the designated position on the index diagram 802 is sent from the attribute search control function unit 112 to the drawing search function unit 1.
The drawing retrieval function unit 114 reads the relevant drawing data from the drawing file 108 into the main memory 202 once, and then displays the drawing data 1001 via the display editing function unit 117 as shown in FIG. You. Here, the attribute search control function unit 112
Is the drawing 100 displayed from the previous attribute search result list 801.
A partial list 1002 of the attribute data corresponding to 1 is displayed, and the location 10 of the facility graphic corresponding to each attribute data on the list is displayed.
03 is displayed on the displayed drawing 1001. The partial list 1002 of the attribute data displayed here and the location 10 of the facility graphic
Each correspondence of 03 is highlighted by pointing a line on the partial list with a mouse, as in the case of the index diagram.

In Fig. 10, two corresponding locations 1003, 100
An example of the existence of 4 is shown.

Next, when it is necessary to search and display another drawing (step 506 in FIG. 5), a diagram showing where the drawing corresponding to the attribute search list shown in FIG. 8 is distributed on the index diagram. And the drawing search can be performed again.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to easily know how many distribution pipes are applicable by designating the year and pipe type, where they are distributed, and where each is located in which drawing. As a result, the work efficiency of confirming the number, distribution, position, etc. of the corresponding pipelines for replacement of the decaying pipes is improved.

Examples of the highlighted display include various examples such as color change and gradation change in addition to the pattern format example as in the previous embodiment.

According to the present embodiment, when searching for a drawing from an attribute, a list of attributes that match the search condition is displayed, and the drawing position where each figure corresponding to the list is present is displayed on the search drawing. After highlighting the drawing position where the figure corresponding to the designated attribute exists on the index diagram, the drawing can be searched and displayed. This makes it possible to search for and display the drawing in which any of the figures corresponding to the attribute that meets the condition is present in a plurality of drawings, and to grasp where the corresponding drawing is located as a whole. Has the effect that a drawing can be displayed.

〔The invention's effect〕
