DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawing processing method for registering a drawing having a parts table as data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Computerization has progressed in drawing creation performed in design work and the like, and a CAD (Computer) in which an operator who is a designer creates a drawing while watching a display.
An Aided Design system is used (see JP-A-60-39049). This CAD
In some cases, a designer attaches component information describing, for example, component specifications, standards, and the configuration and quantity of small components to drawings created using the system.

The creation of the component information is performed, for example, as shown in FIG. The designer selects one of a plurality of drawing formats (step S41) and inputs a drawing number into a drawing frame of the selected drawing format (step S42). Thereafter, the designer performs drawing (step S43).

Further, the designer activates a parts table input window (step S44), and inputs a parts table in this window (step S45). When the parts table is input, the CAD system checks the data consistency of the parts table and checks whether the parts table matches the drawing (step S46). If there is no abnormality, the CAD system registers the digitized parts table in the database (step S47). Thereafter, a parts table is pasted and entered on the drawn drawing and displayed (step S48), and the drawing is registered (step S49).

[0005] Through such a series of processing, the parts table registered in the database is written in characters on the drawing, and the drawing having the parts table is created.

[0006]

When a drawing having a parts table is created by a CAD system, data consistency check and data registration of the parts table are performed for each drawing. Thereafter, the parts list is displayed on the drawing and registered. For this reason, in the conventional method, the next drawing cannot be created unless one drawing is completed.

In addition, when a CAD system is used, the processing time for checking data consistency, registering data of a data-formed parts table, and displaying the parts table on a drawing becomes a waiting time for a designer, and the work time is reduced. Efficiency (the number of drawings created per unit time) decreases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a drawing processing method which eliminates such drawbacks and can reduce the waiting time and improve the work efficiency when creating a drawing having a parts list.

[0009]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the object, a plurality of drawings having a parts table are converted into data.
In a method of processing a drawing to be registered in a storage device, a parts table corresponding to a drawing to be drawn is created based on the component information of the storage device.
After the parts list creation is completed, the parts list corresponding to the next drawing to be drawn is stored in the storage unit.
In addition to creating the parts list, the control unit checks whether the parts list created earlier by the control unit matches the drawing to be drawn , and checks this part. performs a registration in the table of the storage device, and displayed on the display unit Figure frame of drawing schedule drawings to denote the parts table as the character of the drawing, serial parts table corresponding to the display the picture frame
Affixed to FIG frame is read from the憶device, register the picture frame that was attached to the bill in the storage device, until the affixing each bill in FIG frame of the plurality of drawing schedule drawings, FIG frame control unit display, and a drawing processing method characterized by repeated sticking and registration of sticking already drawing frame BOM.

[0010]

According to the present invention, when the creation of one bill of material is completed, a bill of material corresponding to the next drawing to be drawn is created, and in parallel with the creation of this bill of material, the previously created bill of material is created. A check is made to see if the drawing matches the drawing to be drafted, and this parts list is registered. As a result, the creation of the parts list and the checking and registration of the drawing consistency are performed in parallel.

The display of the drawing frame, the pasting of the parts table, and the registration of the drawing frame having the parts table are repeated until the parts table is pasted on the drawing frames of a plurality of drawings to be drawn. Pasting of the parts table and registration of the pasted drawing frame are batch processed.

[0012]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the present invention. This drawing processing method is applied when a drawing having a parts list is created using a CAD system.
As shown in FIG. 4, the CAD system used here includes a computer 1 for creating a drawing, a storage device 2 as a database for registering drawing data, and an output device 3 for printing out the drawing. ing.

Further, the computer 1 has an input unit 1A for a designer to input data related to drawing creation, and a control unit 1B for creating a drawing based on the data from the input unit 1A.
A display unit 1C that displays a drawing based on the drawing data created by the control unit 1B; and a storage unit 1D that stores a control procedure of the control unit 1B. The control procedure shown in FIG. 1 is stored in the storage unit 1D of the computer 1.

Using such a CAD system, the designer operates the input unit 1A to input a drawing number of a drawing to be drawn when preparing a plurality of drawings having a parts list (step S11). Then, the format of the drawing to be created is selected (step S12). When there are a plurality of drawings to be created, the process is continued (step S13), and the processes of steps S11 and S12 are repeated by the number of times corresponding to the number of the plurality of drawings to be created.

Thereafter, the designer performs a process of creating a parts table corresponding to the drawing of the first drawing number. That is, a window for inputting a parts table is started (step S1).
4) Input a parts table (step S15). At this time, the designer must specify the drawing number, drawing name, part number,
A component table is created while accessing the storage device 2 with the component name of the component, component attribute information, the component number of the child component, the component name of the child component, and the configuration quantity. Step S
When the creation of the parts list is completed in step 15, the CAD system
Perform the two tasks in parallel.

In one operation, when step S15 is completed, in the plurality of drawings input in step S11,
A process of creating a parts table corresponding to the drawing of the second drawing number is performed (step S16). That is, step S1
4 and step S15.

In the other work, after step S15, the CAD system checks the data consistency of the parts table created first (step S17). Thereby, it is checked whether the parts table corresponding to the drawing of the first drawing number matches the drawing to be drawn. If the parts list is consistent with the drawing in step S17, the converted parts list is registered in the storage device 2.

After the parts list corresponding to the second drawing is created by steps S14 and S15, 3
While the parts bill corresponding to the second drawing is created, the data consistency check of the second parts bill (step S17) and the data
Registration (step S18).

Thus, while the designer performs the input operation using the input unit 1A, the data consistency check and the data registration of the parts table for which the input operation has been completed in the background are performed.

When the creation and registration of the parts table are completed,
The CAD system performs a process of registering a parts table registered in the storage device 2 in a drawing to be created. In this process, as shown in FIG. 2, when a plurality of drawings to be drawn are selected (step S21), the CAD system displays a drawing frame on the display unit 1C (step S22). The CAD system reads the parts table corresponding to the drawing frame from the storage device 2 and pastes the parts table on the drawing frame (step S2).
3). Thereafter, the CAD system registers the drawing frame to which the parts list is attached in the storage device 2 (Step S24). Since a plurality of drawings to be drawn are selected in step S21, steps S22 to S24 are repeated a number of times corresponding to the number of drawings (step S25).

As a result, even when there are a plurality of drawings, a process for notifying the digitized parts table as characters on the drawings is automatically performed by a batch process in which steps S22 to S24 are repeated.

After step S25, in order to create the remaining part of the drawing (ie, a figure other than the parts table), the designer reads the parts table from the storage device 2 and displays it, as shown in FIG. Part 1C (step S3).
1), drawing while watching the display (step S32). When the drawing is completed, the digitized drawing is registered in the storage device 2 (step S33). When the drawing is continued after step S33 (step S34), the processing of steps S31 to S33 is performed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in parallel with the creation of the parts table of one drawing, the consistency check and registration of the parts table created before this are performed. As a result, the time for creating a drawing having a parts table is reduced.

An example of this time reduction is shown in FIG. FIG. 5 exemplifies creation of five drawings. Conventionally, the drawing time for one drawing is 43 minutes and 18 seconds. In this, the data consistency check (data check in FIG. 5) is 36 seconds, and the subsequent data registration (column registration in FIG. 5) is 8 minutes and 35 seconds. Thus, to create five drawings, three hours, 36 minutes, and 30 minutes
You need seconds.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the time required for inputting and registering the parts table shown in FIG. 1 is 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 1 second. This includes 5 minutes and 23 seconds for inputting a drawing number (in FIG. 5, registering a drawing number) and 35 seconds for selecting a drawing format (in FIG. 5, preparing for inputting a column). Next, the time required for notation on the drawing shown in FIG. 2 is 34 minutes and 35 seconds. This includes 32 seconds of drawing selection (in FIG. 5, preparation for pasting a column). Finally, the time required for the plotting shown in FIG. 3 is 1:21:40.

As a result, in the related art, it takes three hours, 36 minutes, and 30 seconds to create five drawings. In this embodiment, however, three hours, six minutes, and 16 seconds are required. By comparison, a time saving of 14% is possible. Also, excluding the batch processing time for pasting columns and registering drawings, 30
Percent time savings.

Further, if the processing shown in FIG. 2 is performed at night,
Batch processing at night becomes possible, and effective use of the CAD system becomes possible.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, creation of a parts list and checking and registration of drawing consistency are performed in parallel. In addition, the display of the drawing frame, the attachment of the parts table, and the registration of the drawing frame having the parts table are batch processed.
By the parallel processing and the batch processing, when creating a drawing having a parts list, a waiting time is reduced, and work efficiency is improved.
