2. Description of the Related Art Computer-aided design (hereinafter referred to as CAD) has been put into practical use in various businesses.
Drawings created by CAD (hereinafter sometimes referred to as CAD drawings) are widely used. In addition to the purpose of creating drawings such as design drawings, CAD drawings are used for creating various tables included in, for example, air conditioning equipment tables and sanitary equipment tables in construction work, and building equipment construction outlines and construction specifications. Also used for. The reason why these tables are created not only by a word processor or the like but also by using CAD is to meet the need to output to a large sheet by using a plotter.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an air conditioning equipment table created on a CAD drawing. As shown in FIG. 4, most of the tables created on a CAD drawing are surrounded by line segments of the peripheral frame and graphic data of vertical and horizontal ruled lines that divide the peripheral frame, and the peripheral frame and the ruled lines. A table including glyph data (hereinafter referred to as ruled line table 4a).

An example of a conventional method for creating the ruled line table 4a as shown in FIG. 4 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In the computer 1 of FIG. 6, coordinate input means 2 such as a mouse, code input means 6 such as a keyboard, working memory 5 for writing a CAD drawing, graphic output means 3 such as a display or plotter for outputting the contents of the memory 5, A glyph storage means 8 for storing a glyph corresponding to the character code 17 and a figure creating means 15 are provided. When writing the graphic data in the ruled line table 4a,
The allocated coordinates 24, the size code 19a and the shape code 18 are input to the figure creating means 15 from the coordinate input means 2 or the code input means 6, and the figure creating means 15 creates the figure data of the specified shape in the specified size. Write to the designated allocation position on CAD drawing 4 (Fig. 2). On the other hand, when writing the character shape data in the ruled line table, the assigned coordinates 24, the size code 19a and the character code 17 are input from the coordinate input means 2 and the code input means 6, and the character code 17 is stored in the character shape by the graphic forming means 15. The character shape data stored in the means 8 is converted, and the converted character shape data is enlarged or reduced to a designated size and written in the allocation position on the CAD drawing 4. The input operation described above is repeated for all the graphic data and glyph data displayed in FIG.
The ruled line table 4a of FIG. 4 is created by collectively outputting the figure data and the character shape data written in the figure to the figure output means 3.

However, according to the conventional method shown in FIG. 6, the allocation coordinates 24, the size code 19, the shape code 18 or the character code 17 described above for each of the graphic data and the glyph data forming the ruled line table 4a are described. Since it is necessary to input three pieces of information such as and, it is very troublesome to create and modify the ruled line table 4a. For example, when adding or deleting rows or columns of the ruled line table 4a, it may be necessary to delete some attributes of many graphic data and glyph data that have already been input, and then re-input them, which is a troublesome operation. . In addition, there is a problem that the finish positions of the graphic data and the glyph data are apt to be inconsistent in appearance due to an input error or the like.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for easily creating the ruled line table 4a on a CAD drawing.

Rectangular area defining line segment H₁, V₁...... Allocation coordinate 24₁And allocation size
19₁Can be determined as shown in FIG.

Referring to steps 704 and 705 of FIG.
For the character A _{11 in} the area of the ruled line table 4a, the character code C ₁₁ of the first row and the first column is read from the character code string 28, and the read character code C ₁₁ and the size code 29 (H ₁₁ , V ₁₁ ) and the above The assigned coordinates 24 ₂ and the assigned size 19 ₂ are obtained by substituting the writing coordinates (α, β) and the character relational expression 25 ₂ .
The contents of the character relational expression 25 ₂ is determined by the and margins for height and defining a line segment of the rectangular region of the character, of half the height of the rectangular area the size of the region character A ₁₁ in the embodiment of FIG. 2 , The left margin and the upper and lower margins of the internal character A ₁₁ are each 1/4 of the vertical width. This according to the character relational expression 25 _2, assignment coordinates 24 ₂ in the first row and the first column in the region character A ₁₁ is _{(α + V 11/4,} β-V 11/4),
Its longitudinal component of the allocation size 19 ₂ becomes (V _11/2).
The allocation coordinate 24 ₂ shows the first of the upper left point of the coordinates of the character in the region character A _11. The number of characters in the character code C ₁₁ is N _11, and
If the width of each character is d and the margin for character spacing is g, the horizontal component of the layout size 19 ₂ for this character code C ₁₁ is (d + g) N ₁₁ . Therefore, the local character A ₁₁
Total allocation size 19 ₂ determined with the _{((d + g) N 11} , (V 11/2)).

For the character A _{12 in} the rectangular area in the 1st row and 2nd column, the size code string 29 (29 ₁ , 29 ₂ ) and the character code string
From 28, the size codes H ₁₂ , V ₁₁ and the character code C ₁₂ in the first row and second column are read. By the character relational expression 25 ₂ , the allocation position 24 ₂ is analogically calculated from the case of the 1st row and the 2nd column ((α + H ₁₁ + V
_{11/4), (β-} V 11/4)), the vertical direction component of the allocation size of 19 ₂ can be determined as (V _11/2). Also, the horizontal component of the allocation size 19 ₂ for this character code C ₁₂ is (d +
g) Find N ₁₂ . However, N ₁₂ is the number of characters in the character code C ₁₂ . Therefore, the overall allocation size 19 ₂ of the region character A ₁₂ is obtained as _{((d + g) N 12} , (V 11/2)).

With respect to the in-region character A _{13 in} the rectangular region at the 1st row and the 3rd column, the allocation position 24 ₂ is ((α + H ₁₁ + H ₁₂
+ V _11/4), can be obtained with _{(β-V 11/4)} ), the allocation size _{19 2 ((d + g)} N 13, (V 11/2)). However, N ₁₃ is the number of characters in the character code C ₁₃ .

Using the relational expression 25 ₂ for characters, ₂ of ruled line table 4a is used.
From the above description, the allocation position 24 ₂ and the allocation size 19 ₂ can be sequentially obtained for the in-area characters A _{21 to} A ₃₃ of the line and the three lines. Incidentally, it can be judged by line feed code at the end of the line of the end of each row of the border table 4a, for example lateral dimensions code string 29 ₁ or a character code string 28.

Still referring to step 706 of FIG.
Shape code 18 of the defined line segment, the allocation coordinates 24 ₁ and the allocated size 19 _{1 of} the defined line segment, and the characters in the area
By inputting the character code string 28 of A _{11 to} A _33, the character allocation coordinates 24 ₂ and the allocation size 19 ₂ to the figure creating means 15, the rectangular area defining line segments F _h1 , F _v1 of the ruled line table 4a are input. , H ₁ , H ₂ , V ₁ ,
V ₂ , F _h2 , F _v2 and characters A _{11 to} A _{33 in the} area can be written in the CAD drawing 4 to create the ruled line table 4 a.

According to the present invention, the rectangular area and the character information of the ruled line table 4a can be input as a code, and the coordinate input from the coordinate input means 2 is sufficient for the entire ruled line table 4a only once, and the input operation is easy. Therefore, labor saving can be achieved. Further, since the size of the character is determined by the size column 29 of the rectangular area for code input, there is no need to input the character size code. From this point, further labor saving can be expected. In addition, in the case of a change to add or delete a row or a column of the ruled line table 4a, it is possible to deal with it only by adding or deleting a code. Therefore, as compared with the conventional ruled line table creating method that requires inputting a large number of coordinates and size information for changing, the changing operation becomes simple.
The allocation means 26 with relational expression 25 used in the embodiment of the present invention
Is written as a program on the computer 1. For example, the allocating means 26 can be a program for collectively activating each operation command such as a figure shape instruction, a character code reading instruction, a size instruction, and an allocation coordinate instruction in the conventional CAD software. .

Thus, the provision of "a method for easily creating a ruled line table on a CAD drawing" which is the object of the present invention can be achieved.
