Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively use data contained in a catalog, an existing drawing, etc., by connecting an image scanner to a CAD system via an interface as an input device against a graphic processing function of a computer. CONSTITUTION:An image scanner 6 is connected to a CAD system via an interface 7 as an input device against a central processor 1B of a computer 1. The scanner 6 has the 100-400dot/inch image resolution and an A3 or A4 reading size. Thus it is possible to read automatically various data by an image scanner and to register them directly to the CAD system. As a result, the function adding and operating properties are totally improved for the CAD system. Furthermore the CAD transformation factor is improved for application designing and designing work.
