[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a drawing such as a facility drawing is changed, it is common to manage by creating a changed drawing and replacing it with an old drawing or additionally registering a changed drawing. It was

However, in the management of replacing the changed drawings, only the changed final drawings are managed, so that there is a drawback that the initial drawing state and the change progress of the drawings cannot be known. On the other hand, in the management of additionally registering the changed drawing, each time the change is made, the drawing is added in a unit of one sheet, so that the amount of data to be managed becomes enormous. In addition, since the changed drawing and the first drawing are managed as the same single drawing, there is a disadvantage that the drawing management becomes complicated.

Therefore, in order to solve these drawbacks,
A "graphic data management method for each change" described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-31972 has been proposed.

In this graphic data management method, the basic drawing created first is saved and managed, and when a change occurs in the basic drawing, only the changed part is saved and managed.
