Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease a man-hour and a time and to eliminate a drawing- preparation error by fetching a bit of parts list information from a parts list data base, fetching a bit of drawing information from a graphic data base based on it, adding automatically the parts list information and issuing a drawing from a drawing data base. CONSTITUTION:A parts list information fetching means 1 fetches the parts list information of a product (including parts) instructed by an input device 10 from a parts list data base 6 and outputs it to a parts list information file 7. A drawing fetching means 2 reads the parts list information from the file 7, investigates the presence and absence of the drawing information of the product added and outputs the drawing information from a graphic data base 8 to a fetching work file 9 at the time of the presence. A parts list automatic adding means 3 fetches the parts list information from the file 7 and converts and adds the parts list information to the graphic information for the drawing information on the file 9. A drawing issuing means 5 fetches the information of the product and all parts from the file 7, fetches the drawing information and the drawing information of the added parts list only from the graphic data base 8 and outputs it to a graphic output device 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a processing method for automatically creating a parts list using an electronic computer, a graphic output device, and a visual display device.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in manual design, when creating a bill of materials by adding a parts list to a large number of drawings that make up a product, the parts list information of the product or parts written in the drawing is also The bill of materials was drawn by hand. In addition, when designing using a CAD system, humans can input drawing commands for the parts list from an input device based on the parts list information for each drawing that makes up the product. I was working on drawing a bill of materials.

When drawing a bill of materials for both manual design and design using a CAD system, accurate human judgment and work are required for each individual drawing.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the work of drawing parts on drawings using conventional design methods, a bill of materials is drawn sequentially for a large number of drawings that constitute a product, which requires a large amount of man-hours and This method also has the disadvantage that it is time consuming and may lead to drawing errors by the operator.

The purpose of the present invention is to import parts list information from a parts list database based on instructions input from a visual display device,
By importing drawing information from the figure database based on the parts list information and storing it in the figure database, automatically adding parts list information to the drawing information based on the parts list information, and outputting the drawing from the drawing database. It is an object of the present invention to provide a processing method for automatically creating a parts list that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is configured to facilitate drawing work.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The processing system for automatically creating a parts list according to the present invention includes a parts list information importing means, a drawing importing means, an automatic parts list addition means, a drawing storage means, and a drawing output means. It is configured with the following.

The parts list information importing means is for importing parts list information from the parts list database.

The drawing importing means is for importing drawing information from the graphic database based on the parts list information.

The parts list automatic addition means is for automatically adding parts list information to drawing information based on the parts list information.

The drawing storage means is for storing drawing information in a graphic database.

The drawing output means is for outputting drawings from the graphic database based on the parts list information.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a processing method for automatically creating a parts list according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a parts list information importing means, 2 is a drawing importing means, 3 is a parts list automatic addition means, 4 is a drawing storage means, 5 is a drawing output means, 6 is a parts list database, and 7 is a parts list information file,
8 is a graphic database, 9 is a work file, 10 is a visual display input device, and 11 is a graphic output device.

The parts list information importing means 1 imports the parts list information of all parts constituting the product replacement parts (hereinafter referred to as the product) designated by the visual display input device 10 from the parts list database to the lowest level, and Parts list information about the product and all the parts that make up the product is output to the parts list information file T.

The drawing importing means 2 reads parts list information from the parts list information file, and checks whether a product whose parts information is to be added and drawing information of parts constituting the product exist in the graphic database 8. If applicable drawing information exists, the drawing information is fetched from the graphic database 8 and output to the work file 9. If the corresponding drawing information does not exist, drawing frame information is created and output to the work file 9.

The parts list automatic addition means 3 takes in the parts list information from the parts list information file T, converts the parts list information into graphic information, and adds the parts list information to the drawing information for creating the parts list in the work file 9. Note that if the parts list cannot be completely drawn on the drawing, new drawing frame information is created, and the remaining part of the parts list information is converted into graphic information and added.

The drawing storage means 4 takes in drawing information to which parts list information has been added from the work file 9 and outputs it to the graphic database 8. At this time, this parts list information is replaced with the drawing information before addition.

The drawing output means 5 takes in information about the product and all the parts that make up the product from the parts list information file T, and based on this information, draws information about the product and all the parts that make up the product,
In addition, the drawing information of only the parts list added by the automatic parts list addition means 3 is taken in from the graphic database 8 and output to the graphic output device 11.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention allows parts of the specified product and its constituent parts to be adjusted based on the parts list information stored inside the computer, based on instructions given by a human. By automatically creating a parts list for all drawings that require a table, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of steps required to create a parts list, and also to eliminate human creation errors.
