Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drawing editing system for creating and editing various drawings on a graphic display. CAD (Computer Aided Desig
n) A drawing editing system is known, which edits circles, straight lines, arcs, characters, etc. for various drawings handled by the system. There is a demand for simplification of editing processing in such a system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a general drawing editing system,
The drawing data designed by the CAD system is read out from the drawing database, and the non-editable data and the editable data are classified into classes and stored in the drawing database. When the drawing is edited, the figures of the class of the non-editable data are changed. It is not possible, and the drawing portion of the other editable data class can be added or corrected arbitrarily. The figures handled by this drawing editing system are created by combining basic elements such as points, lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, polygonal lines and characters, and the edited drawings are stored again in the drawing database according to the classification. .

FIG. 14 is a schematic explanatory view of a display screen, showing an outline of a part displayed on the display section of the drawing editing system, and 100 is a printed circuit board on which various LSIs (Large Scale Integrated Circuits) and the like are mounted. The CAD drawing which carried out is shown. Such a CA
For example, it is possible to make the class in which the printed circuit board and the connector of the D drawing cannot be changed. Reference numerals 101 and 102 indicate remarked portions, and the content of “Note 1” in the circle 101 is displayed in a display area (not shown). Part name "E25
"0" is displayed.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory view of a conventional example, in which the designated command judgment unit 111 judges whether the inputted command is the element input command 112, the input attribute setting command 113, ... And branches. To do. For example, in the case of an element input command for basic elements such as points, lines, rectangles, circles, arcs, polygonal lines, characters, etc., basic elements are input according to the input method instruction 113 and the input position request 114, and then input. When the input is completed after the completion determination 115, the process waits for designation of various commands in the editor main loop 118.

Input attribute command 1 for line type, thickness, color, etc.
In the case of 16, depending on the designated attribute storage 117, various command designations of the editor main loop 118 are awaited, or a position is input according to the input position request 114, and upon completion of the input, various command designations of the editor main loop 118 are awaited. The input method instruction 113 includes, for example, an instruction for the center position of a circle having a certain radius and 3 on the outer circumference circle.
It is possible to set an input method such as a point instruction.

[0006]

As described above, after the input attribute is set, the element input command is executed to input the element, but the input attributes such as the line type, the thickness, and the color are changed in the middle. In this case, the element input command processing is once terminated, the input attribute setting command is executed again, and then the element input command is executed. Therefore, the designated command determination unit 111
Since the command that is judged and branched in the above is subdivided, it is necessary to perform the input operation from the beginning corresponding to the command, and there is a problem that the input operation becomes complicated.

With regard to the drawing data, the editable data and the non-editable data are classified into class numbers, and the judgment as to whether the edit is possible or not is made for the entire screen data. In addition, since each basic element is managed by one table, when the uneditable data (CAD data) becomes large, even if the editable data is small, the processing for moving, copying, deleting, etc. is performed. There is a problem that the search time becomes long.

Further, in the method of collectively storing the fixed figure represented by the set of basic elements, the data amount can be reduced by storing the same figure in a format that does not overlap.
However, if the same figure is enlarged / reduced, each basic element itself changes. Therefore, there is a problem that the amount of graphic data stored as separate data increases.

In addition, in the drawing editing system, in inputting one character of the basic element, unlike the Japanese word processor (word processor), Roman character conversion is performed for each character or each word, and after confirmation, the design is made. The position is added to the drawing. Further, the correction and deletion of the input character is performed by another command different from the element input command. Also, various character attributes (height, width, angle, character spacing, line spacing) are set in advance by other commands, and the input character is added to the design drawing in a shape according to the set attribute. Therefore, there is a problem that the processing required for inputting and correcting characters becomes complicated. An object of the present invention is to simplify the input operation and reduce the processing time such as search by reducing the amount of data.
