2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a conventional shape placement system is, for example, as shown in FIG.
The data input by the input device 3 is recognized as a shape data name by the input data identification unit 61, and the shape data 21 stored in the shape data file 2 is based on the shape data name recognized by the input data identification unit 61. The shape data reading unit 62 reads the shape data, the arrangement destination position designating unit 63 recognizes the shape data arrangement destination position from the input device 3, and the shape data display unit 64 displays the shape data read by the shape data reading unit 62 in the operating system. It was passed to the prepared graphic drawing function 4 to perform drawing, and the graphic was displayed on the display device 5.

[0003]

The above-described conventional shape arrangement method is a method in which the arrangement reference point of the shape to be arranged is located at the designated position.
In order to place it in the position where the user wants to place it, preparation is required for that, and the user must mark the position where the shape is to be placed in advance or enter the placement position as a coordinate system value from the input device. Had to do.

In addition, when arranging a shape by rotating it, there is only a method of inputting it as an angle. Therefore, when arranging it by rotating it along the shape of a line or circle already drawn,
It has the drawback of requiring complicated angle and coordinate calculations.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the shape arranging system of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a shape placement system to which the shape placement method of the present invention is applied. The shape placement system 1, the shape data file 2, the input device 3, the graphic drawing function 4, and the display device 5 are used. It is configured.

The shape placement system 1 includes an input data identification section 11 for recognizing the data input by the input device 3 as a shape data name, and a shape data file 2 based on the input data identification section 11.
A shape data reading unit 12 for reading the shape data 21 stored in the work data; a work shape data display unit 13 for displaying the read shape data 21 in the work area of the display device 5 via the graphic drawing function 4; Placement source position instructing unit 14 for instructing the shape component as the placement source by the device 3
And a placement destination position designating unit 15 which designates a shape constituent element to be a placement destination from the input device 3, and a placement angle and a placement coordinate are calculated based on the designated element, and the display device is operated via the graphic drawing function 4. A shape data copying unit 16 for copying the shape data in the figure display area 5 and a work shape data deleting unit 1 for finally deleting the shape data displayed in the work area.
7 and 7.

The shape data file 2 is provided on an external storage and stores shape data 21.

Next, the operation of the shape placement system of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

First, the shape data name of the shape data to be arranged is input from the input device 3. This data is identified by the input data identifying unit 11, and the shape data reading unit 1
Passed to 2.

In S1, the shape data name is checked. The shape data reading unit 12 reads the shape data 21 by opening the shape data file registered in the shape data file 2 in S2 based on this data.
The shape data 21 is passed to the work shape data display unit 13.

In S3, the shape data 2 passed from S2
1 is recognized as graphic data and is passed to the graphic drawing function 4 of the operating system. The work shape data display unit 13 displays the shape data 21 in the work area of the display device 5 by using the graphic drawing function 4 prepared in the operating system.

Next, the placement source position designating section 14 receives an instruction from the input device 3 about the shape constituent element which is the placement source of the shape displayed in the work area. Similarly, the placement position indicator 1
At 5, an instruction of the shape element already drawn in the graphic display area of the display device 5 is received. Then, the information of the shape element is passed to the shape data copying unit 16.

Here, a limitation is given to the shape element designation. The shape element type designated by the placement source position designating section 15 and the shape element type designated by the placement destination position designating section 16 are limited to the same thing. In short, line segments and line segments, arcs and arcs, and so on.

In step S4, information about the designated shape component is stored in the storage area of the operating system. Similarly, in S5, after checking whether the instructed shape element is equal to the type of the shape element stored in S4,
The information of the shape component is stored in the storage area of the operating system.

The shape data copying unit 16 calculates the arrangement angle and the arrangement coordinates based on the information on the instructed work shape element and the information on the shape configuration, and copies the shape data displayed in the work area. To do.

In S6, the arrangement angle and the arrangement coordinates are calculated. The calculation of the placement position is performed by the placement destination position designating unit 15 and the end point closer to the designating position of the shape element designated by the placement source position designating unit 14 based on the information of the shape component stored in S4 and S5. The calculation is performed so that the end point closer to the designated position of the designated shape element becomes the same point, and the angle is such that the two designated elements overlap. Line segments and line segments are as described above, but in the case of arcs and arcs, calculation is performed so that the center points of the two arcs are equal and the designated end points are aligned.

FIGS. 3A to 3C are image diagrams of a series of work of the shape arranging method by instructing line segments, and FIGS.
(C) is an image diagram showing a series of work of the shape arrangement method by the circular arc instruction.

In the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5, the arrangement method is such that it overlaps with the already drawn shape element, but by providing an offset amount, it may be arranged apart from the already drawn shape element. It is possible.

In S7, the shape data displayed in the work area in S3 is used to display the layout angle and the layout position calculated in S6. Then, when the same shape data is arranged at a plurality of locations, the process returns to S4 and is repeated.

The work shape data deleting unit 17 deletes the shape data of the work area first displayed after all the arrangements are completed.

In S8, the shape data displayed in the work area in S3 is deleted, and in S9, the shape data file opened in S2 is closed. Then, after deleting the shape data, the shape placement system 1 ends all the processes.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the shape data is temporarily displayed in the work area, and the shape component displayed in the work area and the shape configuration existing at the position to be arranged. By designating the element, the user can arrange the shape data at any position and at any angle.
