2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a design drawing is created by the design department for reference when the production department orders parts for manufacturing a product, arranges materials, processes, assembles and ships the product. Although the design drawing is created for each part, it is used to arrange parts in the production department, delivery management, cost calculation in the management department, create catalogs in the sales department, and so on. It is necessary to create a table. Therefore, it is customary that when a drawing is created, a parts table is created and the design drawing and the parts table are delivered as a set to another department. The product is composed of parts (parts), assemblies (sub-assemblies), units (assemblies), and sections (collections of units having independent functions). Therefore, a bill of materials is a clear description of what parts, assemblies, units, and sections a product is made up of.

[0003] Conventionally, after the drawing is completed, a drawing number is given to the drawing of the part drawn by the plotter and the drawing number is recorded in the ledger, and then the model code of the concerned part is written in a predetermined entry column of the sheet. The bill of materials was created by handwriting the drawing number, search item name, etc. At that time, in order to assign a new drawing number to the drawing, the upper digit number is decided for each classification and the consecutive digit number is given to the lower digit number, but the veteran of the company looks at the component drawing and Judging the corresponding classification by experience, the next number of the series of registration numbers of the corresponding classification of the handwriting ledger was given as a new drawing number, and that number was entered in the ledger and transferred to the parts drawing and parts list. . And
In the parts list, the registered numbers of other parts related to the parts are also entered to complete the list of all parts that make up one product.

[Drawing] FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing a drawing routine R1, that is, an operation procedure of creating and modifying a design drawing in the drawing terminal A. FIG. 10 is a front view showing an example of display contents of the display unit 34 of the drawing terminal A. FIG. 11 is a detailed diagram of step 17 (S17) in FIG.

When the terminals A to D are turned on, the CPU
39, first, in the read means 41 and the display means 42, in the work item display field 341 on the display surface of the display unit 34, specify the type of command to be executed, that is, the work content to be operated next to this terminal. The characters are displayed in a predetermined arrangement order. In the apparatus of the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 10, "plot" representing the function to be executed in the design terminal
"Inspection""Approval""Registration""Drawing frame quotation""Newnumbering"
Characters such as "borrowing drawings", "discontinued numbers", "renting drawings", "signs" and "tables" are displayed to prompt input (selection) of the work content to be executed next. In the illustrated example, since all the terminals from the drawing terminal A to the registration terminal D also have a drawing function, the above "drawing", "approval", and "registration" are also displayed.

FIG. 9 shows an operation flow when the "drawing" work is selected. Hereinafter, in each figure, S means a step. The drawing terminal A is used not only for newly creating a drawing, but also for modifying a drawing sent back from the drawing terminal B by the inspection NG or a drawing sent back by the approval terminal C by the approval NG. When "Drawing" is selected, first, it is determined whether there is a correction request from the drawing terminal or the approval terminal by checking whether the drawing drawing file Ac of the HDD 37 is stored in the corrected drawing (S10). If there is no correction request, the ROM work program (drawing program in this case) 52 starts to be executed, and the mouse 32 is operated from the basic figure displayed at the predetermined position on the display screen as in the case of normal CAD. The buffer Ab and the display unit 34 are selected by drawing work such as selecting the required figure and designating the enlargement ratio.
On the display screen, the parts drawing and other drawings 342 are displayed.
You can create a drawing by displaying (S
11). When the "drawing frame quotation" command is executed during drawing or after drawing is completed, the drawing frame file De stored in the registration area 57d of the registration terminal D is displayed on the lower side of the drawing as shown in the display screen of FIG. A drawing frame 343 having a title field 343a composed of a plurality of entry fields is read out and displayed on the same display surface as the drawing (S12).

The title field 343a of the drawing frame 343 includes a name entry field for entering the item name, drawing number and drawing creation date shown in the part drawing, and the type of surface treatment, heat treatment type, material etc. of the part. It has an attribute entry column for entering matters relating to the attributes of parts, and a signature entry column for entering the signatures of the designer, drawing inspector and approver, respectively. The item name is composed of stratified categories and search item names.

The stratified classification is based on attributes such as materials, shapes, processing methods, and uses of various parts, and common ones are classified into the same layer, and represented by a one-digit or two-digit alphabet symbol as an example. To be done. For example, A is a casting, B is a plate, C
Is a shaft, D is a gear, E is a roller, F is a spring, M is a resin, N is a name plate, P is a resistor, Q is a capacitor,
R is a relay, X is an integrated circuit ...

The retrieved item name is the ordinary name of the part expressed in ordinary terms. For example, if it is a plate, enter "plate". For example, in the case of a plate used for a shutter, a plate / shutter or the like may be added by adding a product name standard indicating the purpose of use to the searched product name.

If a drawing frame 343 as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the screen of the display unit based on the execution of the "drawing frame drawing" command, it is displayed in the attribute item display field 344 on the left side of the display screen. As described above, the item to be set as the attribute information of the part shown in the drawing is displayed, and each time the item is selected by the mouse 32, the title block 343a is displayed.
At the position of, the attribute information column 343b is displayed instead of the title column, and it is required to enter the setting item in this (S
13). The designer can use the word processor function of this CAD to fill in each entry field.

In the step of entering the title field (S13), the mouse 32 and the keyboard 31 are used to first enter the layer classification code (layer code) and the search item name or even the item name standard in the name entry column. To be done. Next, each attribute information is input to the attribute information column 343b. The stratified symbols, the search item name, and data up to the item name standard are used as the search data of the drawing information.

The items set in S13 are stored as a part of the attribute information of the parts drawing. Of the setting items, those that match the items entered in the title column 343a (item number and drawing number, classification by layer, search item name and item name),
It is automatically displayed in each entry column of the title block. In this case, the drawing number, which is the search data, is automatically assigned by the automatic numbering method described later. The item number of the attribute information is the number of the upper item to which the part belongs.
The item number representing this parent-child relationship and the parent item number are used to create the parts table. Of the above setting items, when the item name (layer code and search item name) is keyed in and the command of "new numbering" is executed, the automatic numbering program by the management terminal E is executed and the same layer classification The number next to the registered number is adopted as the drawing number for this part drawing.

Following the completion of the work of filling in the title column, the designer executes the "sign" command, calls up the designer's signature registered in advance, and fills in the designer's signature entry column in the drawing frame. Write and display (S14). In addition,
Since this signature is unique to each designer, in order to prevent it from being abused by others, only when the designer enters his or her password when executing the "sign" command, A program is constructed so that the image data of the signature is read out and added to the drawing frame.

When the drawing is completed by entering the signature as described above, when the "end" command is executed, the storage means 46 of the CPU 39 stores the drawing data and the search data in the drawing drawing file Ac of the HDD 37. (S15).

Subsequent to the storage of the drawing, the work of registering the attribute information is performed by the designer. As described above, this attribute information is made up of the setting items input in the step of entering the title block, and the HD information is set based on the attribute information registration command.
It is registered in D (S16).

[Automatic numbering] In the drawing terminal A, in step 17 of FIG. 9 following the input of the attribute information, as shown in detail in FIG. 11, the command of "new numbering" is executed (S1).
71) After that, it is checked whether or not a new drawing number is received from the management terminal E (S172), and if it is received, the new drawing number, for example, the drawing number "B1001" is stored in the drawing drawing file Ac. At the same time (S173), it is displayed in the drawing number entry field of the title field 343a displayed on the display screen of the display unit 34 of FIG. 10 (S174) to inform that the automatic numbering is completed. There is.

Then, the automatic numbering in FIG. 9 (S17)
When the drawing request command is executed by specifying the terminal number of the drawing terminal of the transfer destination by key input in the step of creating the transfer data format of S18 after the completion of step S18, the data sending means 45 reads the drawing drawing file Ac from the HDD 37. The drawing information (drawing data and search data) and the attribute information are read out, and the drawing information including the terminal number of the drawing terminal is subjected to a predetermined downstream detection specified by the terminal number via the communication control unit 36. Transfer to figure terminal B, H of the figure inspection terminal
The data is stored in the unexamined drawing drawing file Bd of the DD 37.

While waiting for the reception of the new drawing number in S172 of FIG. 11, the management terminal E automatically assigns numbers based on the transfer of the numbering command from the drawing terminal A, as shown in FIG. The program is executed. That is,
When the management terminal E receives the numbering command from any of the drawing terminals A (Y in S21), the drawing number assigning means 415
Analyzes the search data included in the numbering command (S22), selects a layer-based symbol from the search data,
When the stratified symbol is collated with the classification standard registered in the classification standard table 413 (S23), and it matches (S23).
And Y), finds the drawing number Fn of the registered drawing corresponding to the layer-by-layer symbol of the registered drawing number file 414 (S24), and sets the next number of the read drawing number Fn (that is, the number of Fn + 1) as a new drawing. No. (S25), and the drawing number is given to the drawing number sending means 416 and the drawing number registration means 417. In the registered drawing number register (table) of the registered drawing number file 414, the stratified symbol B and the serial number are registered. For example, if the latest registration number is B1000, the next number B1001 in the same stratification is given as a new drawing number.

The drawing number sending means 416 transfers the newly added drawing number to the drawing terminal A (S26), and the drawing number registration means 417 registers the same drawing number in the registered drawing number file 414.
(S27), and the automatic drawing number assignment ends. When the search data included in the numbering command received from the drawing terminal A does not match the classification criteria (N in S23), the fact that the search data has been input is transferred to the drawing terminal (S28), Display it on the display unit of the drawing terminal.

In the process of creating the above new drawing, drawing frame reference (S12), title block entry, attribute information input (S13),
The order of sign entry (S14), drawing storage (S15), attribute information registration (S16), and automatic numbering (S17) is merely an example and is completely arbitrary. For example, S11
In, the search data and other attribute information may be input, and then automatic numbering may be performed.

Returning to the drawing flow of FIG. 9, the drawing terminal A
Is receiving the drawing correction information sent back from the CAD terminal on the downstream side, that is, the drawing terminal B or the approval terminal C in the case of the drawing NG or the approval NG, and the drawing correction request is received ( In S10, the routines S19 to S114 and S18 for adding / subtracting correction to the drawing information are executed.

That is, in the received drawing information, the portion or item requiring correction is judged from the contents of the correction note added by the inspector or approver (S19), and in the case of drawing NG, the designer. Performs the work of modifying the drawing in accordance with the modification note data from the lower layer terminal (S110), and then stores the drawing data based on the execution of the store command (S).
111). Following the storage of the drawing data, or if the drawing is not NG, it is determined whether the attribute information is NG without performing the drawing correction (S112). If the attribute information is NG, the attribute information is corrected according to the correction note data ( S113). After the correction of the attribute information, the drawing data of the changed drawing, the search data, and the attribute information are transferred to the predetermined drawing inspection terminal B by executing the drawing inspection request command (S18).

The drawing terminal A, based on the execution of the drawing request command, draws all the drawing data, the search data, and other attribute information created therein, and draws a predetermined drawing terminal B on the downstream side.
However, the data requested to be inspected are also left in the drawing terminal. When data is sent back from the drawing terminal B or the approval terminal C for check NG, the drawing terminal data for the same drawing number is replaced with the drawing data and correction note data sent back. To be done. Therefore, after the drawing request is made, the designer and the drawing inspector or the approver can mutually confirm the drawing contents until the drawing and approval are completed.

[Inspection] In the inspection terminal B, when data of a newly created drawing or a modified drawing is transferred from the drawing terminal A, first, this data is stored in the HDD of the inspection terminal.
It is stored in the uninspected drawing drawing file Bd. Continuing from this, from the command types displayed on the display,
When “Inspection” is selected, the inspection program is executed, and as shown in the inspection flow in FIG. 13, the drawing information {drawing data and search data (title column) stored in the uninspected drawing file Bd of the HDD 37. Entry) is read out,
It is displayed on the display unit (S31).

Next, in the drawing inspection terminal, if the entire drawing and all the correction items are displayed on the same screen, they are all displayed in a small size, and it is difficult for the inspector to make a correction note. Therefore, in this drawing inspection terminal, after drawing the drawing, the screen state is set so that the correction note for the displayed drawing is enlarged and displayed in a size in which it is easy to input (S32).

The drawing inspector sequentially checks the displayed drawing and the entry items in the title column, and further other attribute information, and selects the drawing inspection OK or the inspection NG command according to the check result (S33). ). If the check result is good, the inspection drawing OK is input, and it is determined whether the drawing is a new drawing or a corrected drawing based on the drawing number of the search data (S34). If the drawing is a new drawing, the "sign" command is executed to read the signature registered in advance, and the signature is entered in a prescribed drawing person signature entry field (S36).

On the other hand, if the drawing is a corrected drawing, that is, if it is a redrawing drawing that has been inspected once, the correction note data added in the previous drawing inspection is erased by the data erasing means. (S35) After that, the process proceeds to step S36 for entering a signature. When the OK drawing command is input (S37) after the signing is completed, the data remaining in the HDD, that is, the corrected drawing data sent from the drawing terminal A, the search data and the attribute information are transferred. The means moves to the approval terminal C via the communication control unit (S38). The designation of the approval terminal C may be fixed such that the terminal number of the predetermined approval terminal C is automatically set, but the inspector may specify the terminal number each time by key input.

In step S33 for checking the drawing,
If the check result is NG, it is determined whether the drawing at that time is a new drawing or a modified drawing (S39), and if it is a new drawing, a routine for entering the modified note data is executed (S311). ). That is, the symbols and the like necessary for the correction note are read from the correction note file Be, and the correction note is entered using this. Then, when the inspector corrects each correction item for the drawing and the attribute information,
On the drawing inspection terminal B, the original drawing before the drawing and the correction note are combined and displayed in an overlapping manner. The correction note is displayed in a color different from that of the original drawing by the drawing terminal in order to clearly show that it is the data related to the drafting person's creation.

On the other hand, in the case of the corrected drawing, the input operation for deleting the portion determined to be corrected OK (S3
After performing 10), the correction note is entered in step S311. Then, when the correction NG command is input after the completion of the correction note entry (S312), the data including the correction note data is transferred to the communication control unit 36 by the data transfer means.
It is sent back to the drawing terminal A involved in the drawing creation via (S313). In this case, the drawing data is moved to the drawing terminal A and does not remain in the drawing terminal.

In the drawing terminal A, the original drawing originally created and the correction note added by the inspector are displayed in an overlapping manner on the display unit 34, and the correction note is displayed in a different color from the original drawing. Is displayed. Therefore, the drawing created by the designer and the corrections and notes entered by the drawing inspector can be clearly identified.

[Approval] The approval terminal C, to which the drawing information and the attribute information are transferred from the drawing inspection terminal B by the inspection drawing OK, transfers the data to the unapproved drawing file Cd of the HDD of the approval terminal.
To store. Then, the approval program is executed based on the start of the approval terminal C, and as shown in FIG.
The drawing information (drawing data and search data) is read from and displayed on the display unit (S41). And the inspection terminal B
As in the case of, the drawing state is set (S42).
The approver checks the displayed figure and the entry items in the title block, and depending on the result of the check, approval OK or approval N
Execute the G command. From the command execution, the CPU judges whether approval is OK or NG (S43). If approval is OK, the CPU proceeds to a step for entering a signature, executes the "sign" command of the approver, and inputs the password or specifies the signature. Based on the input for, a predetermined signature is read from the memory and entered in the signature entry field of the drawing frame (data is added). Approval O following completion of this signature
When the K command is executed (S45), the drawing information of the unapproved drawing file Cd in the HDD is moved to the approved drawing file Cf (S46). It is stored in the approved drawing file Cf until the drawing of the related parts of one model is completed. The correction note data input at the terminal itself is erased by the data erasing means.

When all the related parts, that is, all the constituent parts of the product of one model have been drawn (S47)
In Y), the approved drawings accumulated in the approved drawing file Cf are collectively stored in the registered drawing file Dd of the predetermined registered terminal D by executing the drawing completion command from the approved terminal C and designating the terminal number. It is moved and registered (S48).

Although the drawing information is moved to the approved drawing file Cf by the approval OK, the drawing information may be moved directly to the registered drawing file Dd of the registration terminal D without having the approved drawing file Cf. . However, in order to improve the operation efficiency, it is better to use the approved drawing file Cf.

On the other hand, if the check result is NG (No at S43), the process proceeds to step S49 for the correction note based on the command execution, and the symbol read from the correction note file is quoted. , The correction note data for the portion to be corrected in the designer's drawing is entered by key operation or mouse operation. Then, by executing the approval NG command (S410), the drawing information and the correction note data are added to the drawing terminal A designated by the terminal number input before the data transfer means by adding the terminal number of the own terminal. It is sent back (that is, moved) to the drawing terminal A via the communication control unit (S411). In the drawing terminal A,
The designer data and the approver data from the approval terminal C are overlaid and displayed on the display unit, and the drawing information (drawing data, search data) and attribute information are added, rewritten, deleted, etc. according to the correction note. be able to.

When the drawing registration at the registration terminal D is completed,
The registration terminal reports the registration completion to the drawing terminal A, transfers the registration drawing data to the design terminal, and replaces the data of the drawing drawing file with this. As a result, the design terminal can confirm from the display screen that a series of drawing drawings have been registered, so the designer executes the delete command to empty the drawing drawing file Ac.

The registration terminal D, to which the drawing information has been moved from the approval terminal C, further uses the drawing drawing and the attribute information input at the design terminal and the drawing number assigned by the automatic numbering of the management terminal E as one model. The image data is divided into drawing data, which is image data, and search data, which is character data, and the image data is searched for on the optical disc OM or the like via the electronic filing system connected to the registration terminal D. The drawing number included in the data is stored as an address in a predetermined address of the optical disc, and the attribute information is registered so as to be used for creating a parts table supported by the management terminal E (preferably the host computer F).

[Preparation of Parts List] Next, the preparation of parts list, which is the main part of the present invention, will be described. As described above, in the drawing terminal A, when creating a new drawing, the attribute information regarding the part drawing is input (S13 in FIG. 9). This attribute information is partially displayed in the title block of the drawing, is used as search data for searching the drawings stored in the registration terminal, and is supported by the management terminal E as the drawing terminal A. It is used to create a parts list.

When a designer newly creates a design drawing for a certain product, he or she devises a design concept as shown in FIG.
That is, first, assuming the overall image of the product FP, determining the model name of the product FP, and having a single function in the assembly of the product (S: section),
Next, those assemblies (U: unit), further intermediate assemblies (A: assembly) if there are intermediate assemblies, and finally parts (P: parts) constituting each assembly.
Considering the overall configuration relationship (tree), the product is divided into several modules (items) in a top-down orientation, the assembly order is determined, and finally the level is lowered to the component level. Design and draw with a drawing terminal. The level on the right side of FIG. 15 shows the hierarchical order of the component structure.

Based on the above concept, the designer uses the attribute information input means 48 in the drawing terminal to input at least the layered classification which is the search data, the search item name, the item name standard, and the model name of the attribute information. Then, after inspection and approval, the data is stored in the attribute information file 418 of the management terminal, and a database for creating a parts table described later is constructed.
After that, based on the execution of the plotting command from the drawing terminal,
The drawing terminal starts execution of the parts table creating program in the work program, and the process for creating the parts table shown in the flowchart of FIG. 16 is performed using the attribute information of the database.

FIG. 16 shows a parts table preparation portion, and FIG. 17 accesses the prepared parts table to add missing items,
The following shows a parts table management output part for outputting after correction and completion.

In FIG. 16, reference numeral 161 denotes an attribute information database stored in the attribute information file 418,
162 in which the attribute information of each created component is stored,
Is an item information extraction processing unit, and only item information from each element of the attribute information database, for example, item number and search item name (for parent drawing), or item number and parent item number and search item name (child drawing) 163 is an item information edit processing unit, which edits the extracted item information as parts table data and creates item data such as an item number and a search item name for each item. Reference numeral 164 denotes a parent-child relationship set processing unit, which creates, from the parts table data, product configuration data representing a parent-child relationship such as a parent item number, a child item number, a search item name, and the number of units, and 165 is an output. The processing unit outputs the item data created by the item information edit processing unit 163 and the parent-child relationship set processing unit 164 to the item file 166-1 and outputs the product configuration data to the product structure data. And outputs to the file 166-2, 166 is a bill file has the item file 166-1 and product configuration file 166-2, in which bill is stored.

In FIG. 17, reference numeral 170 denotes a control unit for distributing various kinds of processing which will be described in detail later.
Reference numeral 71 denotes an inquiry processing unit, which performs a process for making an inquiry about a parts table file in a plurality of formats such as an expansion check of data having a parent-child relationship and an expansion check at all stages, and outputs an inquiry result. Outputs, 172 is a change processing unit, which performs processing such as addition, update, and parent-child relationship cancellation for the parts table to bring the parts table up to date. 173 is a release processing unit. There is an output service for providing the parts bill to other departments such as the production management department and the cost management department as needed, and 174 is a deletion / restoration processing unit, which eliminates the need for the parts bill. The item information is deleted so that the parts table file 166 can be used as efficiently as possible, the deleted information is saved in the save file 175, and can be restored later when necessary. 1 6 is a part table access processing unit performs a read-write processing for the bill file 166 based on the request from such deletion and restoration processing unit 174 from the control unit 170.

Next, the control for creating the parts table based on the above configuration and the control for managing the release or change of the created parts table will be described. (1) Parts table creation control First, the attribute information transferred from the drawing terminal A is stored in the attribute information database 161. The item information extraction processing unit 162 extracts only the item information from the attribute information for each module. The extracted item information is set as item data in the item file 166-1 by the item information edit processing unit 163. Also, the parent-child relationship set processing unit 1
64 sets the parent-child relationship in the product configuration file 166-2 as product configuration data based on the item number and the parent item number. The item data and the product configuration data are stored in the parts table file by the output processing unit 165, and the parts table is created.

As described above, the parts table file 166 stores the parts table created using the attribute information input in the drawing process. However, the product is not composed entirely of drawn parts, and may be an outsourced product or a commercially available product. Therefore, before releasing the BOM to the production department or other departments to start production, the BOM automatically created by the management terminal is called for a specific item and other missing items are added to it. , Or need to be corrected or deleted. In response to such a request, a parts table management work as described below is required.

(2) Parts table management control In the execution of this parts table management work mode, control is performed according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, the drawing terminal A refers to the input screen format for managing the parts table stored in the management terminal E, and as shown in FIG.
The input screen is displayed on the screen, and the blank fields are urged to be filled with predetermined items (S51). In the blank area of the input screen, the parent item number (a), category / search item name (b), update method (c),
There are an update date (d), an instruction (e), a child item number (f), a product name standard (g), an assembly order (h) one machine number (i), and an instruction (j).

In the instruction (e) column, with respect to the item entered in the right column, any one of addition, change, assembly order change, and deletion is designated by an alphabetical symbol A, R, J, D, respectively, as an example. To be done. The number of units means the number of parts incorporated in one product. Further, in the instruction (j) column, the number for designating the page of the input screen or the symbol U for designating the update screen is entered.

When the input screen of FIG. 19 is displayed, the creation date field is displayed by the calendar data given from the host computer to the drawing terminal. Then, the required parent item number from the parts table item input means 411 of the drawing terminal,
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when an item having "S ***" is designated (S52) and the write key is pressed to execute a parts table inquiry command (S53), this parent item number is assigned to the management terminal. Then, in the management terminal E, the inquiry processing unit 171 sets to access the parts table in the specified expansion mode, and the parts table access processing unit 176 performs expansion processing in the specified mode. Command.
In accordance with this, the parts table access processing unit uses the item file 1
66-1 is read and the classification / search item name column (b) of the input screen
"S ***" is displayed and "Kinyutanmatsu", which is the search item name, is displayed, and then the product configuration file 166-2
Is read, and the item number and the product name standard of the part drawing having the specified item number as the parent item number are read out, and these are stored in the child item number column (f) and the product name standard column (g), respectively.
For example, "ZS5" and "SEC, printer" are displayed (S54). That is, "Z ***" is "ZS5"
Is displayed as a child item number.

As described above, the child items registered for the designated one item are displayed on the screen. Subsequently, ZS5 is designated as the parent item number (S52), and the write key is pressed (S53).
71 accesses the parts table file 166 and uses the specified item number as the parent item number ZU108, 110,
113, the assembly order, and the number of units are displayed. In FIG. 21, the items in the top three rows are read from the database and displayed.

If there is a missing item in the configuration information of the displayed parts table, the items are sequentially input in the fields (e), (f), (h), and (i). At the time of this input, the diversion processing unit 172 operates. That is, while looking at the display screen of the display unit 34, the alphabet A (addition) is input in the instruction field (e) (S5
6) In the child item number column (f), enter the item number that has been registered when the attribute information is input in advance, for example, ZU112 (S
57), the assembling order column (h) is entered with the assembling order of the parts among all the constituent parts of the product (S58). Then, the number of used parts is input in the one machine number column (i) (S5).
9). If there are other components, the write key is not pressed (N in S510), and similarly, all other components (ZU112, 114, 111) are also subjected to step S.
Repeat steps 56 to 59 to fill in the fields (e), (f), (h), and (i).

For example, even when a part such as an outsourced product that is not registered in the database is used as a sub-item, the product name / standard, the assembly sequence, and the number of units are input from the keyboard in the same manner as in the above case to configure the parts. It can be carried out. The input order of the components does not have to match the assembly order.

When the write key is pressed (Y in S510) when the input of all the components is completed, these child item numbers are sent to the management terminal E, and each item number (figure number) is selected from the attribute information. The product name / standard corresponding to is read and sent to the drawing terminal.
As shown in item 2, the product name and standard are displayed (S
511). In addition, at the time of this display, they are replaced and displayed in the order of the item number or the assembly order.

When all the constituent parts are larger than the displayable number of the input screen of one page, the number of screens is used as a plurality of pages. At the end of input on one screen, it is checked whether there is another page (S
512), if there is another page (Y in S512), the screen is switched to the next page (S513) and S56 to S511.
Is repeated. When there is no other page (N in S512)
When the write key, which means the end of input, is pressed (S5
14Y), and based on the items (item number, assembly order, number of units) necessary for creating each parts table input above, complete the parts table for the product of the model name (S51).
5).

FIG. 24 shows the model name S created by the drawing / parts table preparation management device of this embodiment in the above-described manner.
It is an example of a parts table of a product "ballpoint pen" of BP10.
The leftmost level column is shown in FIG.
Enter the value corresponding to the level of.

FIG. 25 shows an example of a tree type parts table of products of the same model type name in FIG. When creating this tree-type parts list, the items are rearranged in the order of the above levels, and the display position or print position in the same column is determined according to the number of items on the same level, and each item is framed. enclosure,
Frames of parent-child items are connected by connecting lines.

When changing the input items of the parts table,
The input screen is displayed in S51, the parent item number of the product to be changed is input (S52), the write key is pressed (S53), and the displayed category and search item name are confirmed (S5).
4), enter the child item number on the screen in the parent item number column (a) (S52), press the write key (S53), and
A screen including the item to be changed is displayed as shown in 3 (S54). Then, in the instruction field of the child item number to be changed on this screen, for example, when changing the assembly order, enter "J" and enter "5" and "6" in the assembly sequence field.
Are changed to “6” and “5” respectively, and the instruction column (j)
After inputting the update "U" to, and pressing the write key,

In the above embodiment, one of the CAD terminals is used as the management terminal E, but the present invention is not limited to this, of course, and the functions required for the management terminal become various and complicated. In this case, the host computer H shown in FIG. 1 can also function as the management terminal. In addition to the design department and the management department, the new drawings registered and created and registered in the parts list as described above
When connecting the release processing unit 173 and the output unit 177 to construct an EDP (electronic data processing) system so that the related departments such as the production department and the shipping department can also quote and refer to them, the management terminal E is the host computer. H
It is desirable to configure

[0084]

As described above, according to the drawing / parts table preparation management apparatus of the present invention, when the drawing management part completes the parts drawing of all the component parts of the product, the attribute information input at the time of drawing is used. Therefore, the parts list of the product can be created by only adding and changing the minimum items including the item number that matches the drawing number assigned by the automatic numbering function. The time required from to the creation of parts list is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of design work is significantly improved. Secondly, if there is no mistake in inputting the item number, the same layer classification, search item name, item name / standard, etc. will always be displayed and input for the same part regardless of the designer's difference, and it will be described in the parts list. , Accurate parts ordering, material arrangement, assembly, and shipping can be done.

Third, the section (S) and unit (U) whose design has been completed can be completed without completing the parts list of the entire product.
Alternatively, since it can be released in units of assembly (S), the production department or the like can speed up production arrangements. Fourthly, since the parts table data is input in the upstream department, the parts table data can be unified, so that the production efficiency is further improved.
