For example, certain shapes, structures, and characteristics described herein may be embodied in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in connection with one embodiment. In addition, it is to be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if properly described, is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled. Like reference numerals in the drawings refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several aspects.

Hereinafter, a drawing file automatic generation method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order to implement the automatic file generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, an autocad program including an automatic drawing file generation function is installed in a terminal such as a computer, and provides a screen according to the driving of the program to a worker.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user menu screen provided to an operator when collectively creating a drawing file according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the operator clicks and selects a menu for creating a drawing on the user menu screen, FIG. A drawing file batch creation screen as shown is provided.

Here, the functions (menus) added for the present invention may be developed and mounted by Auto-Lisp, which is a language embedded in the CAD.

When the drawing file batch creation screen is provided in this way, the operator selects the basic data file which has made the structure of the product to be designed into a hierarchical tree structure through the drawing file batch creation screen, and instructs the drawing batch creation.

Here, the basic data file is a hierarchical tree structure of the product to be designed, and can be composed of an Excel file.

According to the operator's drawing batch instruction, the CAD program reads the basic data file selected by the operator from the memory area through the drawing file batch creation screen.

Then, the read basic data file is analyzed to collectively generate a drawing file corresponding to each part existing for each level as shown in FIG.

Here, the AutoCAD program generates a drawing file corresponding to each part existing at each level for the upper part composed of a combination of basic parts corresponding to the lowest level, based on the basic data file in which the product structure is formed in a tree structure. .

For example, the highest level of the product to be designed is level 0, the lowest level is level 5, one part corresponding to level 0, 10 parts corresponding to level 1, and a part corresponding to level 2 Assuming that there are 50 parts corresponding to level 3, 200 parts corresponding to level 3, 500 parts corresponding to level 4, and 2000 parts corresponding to level 5, the autocad program is based on the operator's drawing batch creation instructions. 761 drawing files corresponding to the parts corresponding to each level are collectively produced | generated about level 0-level 4 except the drawing of the level 5 which is a component. Here, only one drawing file may be generated for parts overlapping at the same level.

As described above, after collectively generating a drawing file corresponding to each part existing for each level, a title column is generated in each drawing file using the data of the basic data file.

For example, when the generated drawing file is a drawing file corresponding to the level 4 printed circuit board assembly power supply board, the part corresponding to the drawing file generated from the data included in the basic data file as shown in FIG. 5. A title field is created in the corresponding drawing file using the item name and drawing number (ACAD2344) of the power circuit board of the in-level 4 printed circuit board assembly.

The parts list is created in each drawing file using the data of the basic data file.

For example, when the generated drawing file is a drawing file corresponding to the level 4 printed circuit board assembly power supply board, as shown in FIG. 5, the level 4 printed circuit board assembly power supply among the data included in the basic data file. A parts list is created in the corresponding drawing file by using the part name, quantity, part number, and drawing number of the lower parts constituting the class.

As such, by using the basic data file, drawing files corresponding to each part existing at each level are generated in a batch, and title fields and parts lists included in each drawing are automatically generated, so that time and human error required for drawing generation are generated. Can be minimized.

As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, a drawing file corresponding to each part existing for each level is generated by using the basic data file.

On the contrary, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, a basic data file may be generated using a large number of drawing files existing for each level.

In detail, a basic data file representing a structure of a designed product in a hierarchical tree structure is generated by using level information of each drawing file, title column and parts list information included in each drawing file.

Meanwhile, as described above, after collectively generating a drawing file corresponding to each part existing at each level by using a basic data file according to the present invention, a part of the information written in the title column The drawings may be collectively changed or may be changed only for the current drawing.

The change of the information written in the title column is made through a user screen provided at the time of changing the title box information as shown in FIG. 7, wherein an input item of the user screen corresponds one-to-one with the title column information in the drawing.

As such, it is possible to collectively manage the information of the heading column in which fluctuations and important information of the drawing are written, thereby reducing the time required for managing the heading column of each drawing and minimizing human error.

In addition, after collectively generating a plurality of drawing files using the basic data file, the texts written in the title column and the parts list included in each drawing may be collectively changed or may be changed only for the current drawing.

The change of the character string written in the title column and the parts list is made through a user screen provided at the time of character string change, as shown in FIG.

In this way, the changes that are commonly applied to each drawing can be modified at once without opening and modifying the drawings one by one, thereby minimizing the time required for the modification.

In addition, after the plurality of drawing files are collectively generated using the basic data file and the defense drawing number is determined, the drawing number should be changed to the defense drawing number, and the drawing number can be collectively changed to the defense drawing number.

The drawing number is changed through a user screen provided when the drawing number is changed as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. After receiving the basic data file in which both the drawing number and the defense drawing number are entered, the selected work is performed. Depending on the file name, the title column and the drawing number included in the parts list list, or collectively change the national defense number, or only the file name.

In this way, by using the basic data file in which the defense drawing number is written, the drawing numbers included in the entire drawing file can be collectively changed to the national defense drawing number, thereby minimizing the time required for the change of the drawing number.

In addition, a drawing file corresponding to each part existing at each level is generated by using the basic data file, and the drawing work for each drawing file that automatically generates a title field and a parts list included in each drawing is completed. Thereafter, there is a case where output of a completed work is output or a PDF, TIFF, PLT file or the like needs to be converted. As illustrated in FIG. 11, a plurality of drawing files can be collectively outputted or batch converted.

In addition, by using the basic data file, drawing files corresponding to each part existing at each level are collectively generated, and title fields and parts lists included in each drawing are automatically generated, and then cycle (electronic) and period (mechanism) ), Marks, and the like, as shown in FIG. 12, a unique drawing style is provided to ensure unity of drawings.

In addition, a drawing file corresponding to each part existing at each level is generated by using the basic data file, and the drawing work for each drawing file that automatically generates a title field and a parts list included in each drawing is completed. Then, when modifications are made to the completed drawing, the correction contents of the drawing are managed. As shown in FIG. 13, revisions of the drawing are divided into upper revisions and lower revisions according to the revision granting rules of the drawing, and upper revisions are developed by development stage. 1, 2, 3, 4,... The sub-revision may indicate changes in the baseline, and a, b, c, d,... It can be expressed as. If the upper revision changes (for example, 1-> 2), the lower revision is initialized and restarted from a. At this time, the contents of the lower revision (eg, 1b, 1c, and 1d) may be deleted and only the upper revision may be maintained.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, drawing revision management is performed through a user screen provided at drawing revision management. The revision content is automatically written in the current drawing or the entire drawing according to input contents (revision code and modification). do.

At this time, if the worker inputs the contents in violation of the revision granting rule, a notification message may be provided to the workers as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the drawing for standardization is to be made after the end of development, as shown in Fig. 17, the revision contents written in the current drawing or the entire drawing can be deleted by clicking the standardization button.

In this way, by using the basic data file in which the defense drawing number is written, the drawing numbers included in the entire drawing file can be collectively changed to the national defense drawing number, thereby minimizing the time required for the change of the drawing number.

In addition, after collectively generating a drawing file using a basic data file, it is sometimes necessary to select and work on a drawing having a specific text (search word). In this case, as shown in FIG. After setting a storage location that is stored, and setting a storage location where the searched drawing is to be stored, at least one search word may be input to search for a drawing including the search word.

19 is a flowchart illustrating a method of automatically generating a drawing file according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a basic data file is created by a hierarchical tree structure of the product structure to be designed from the operator through the drawing file batch creation screen of FIG. 3 while the AutoCAD program including the automatic drawing file generation function is driven. When the drawing batch is instructed, the basic data file selected by the operator is read (S10), and the read basic data file is analyzed to generate a batch file for each level (S20).

When collectively generating the drawing file in step S20, the drawing file corresponding to each part existing for each level is collectively generated.

Specifically, based on the basic data file in which the product structure is formed in a tree structure, a drawing file corresponding to each part existing for each level is collectively generated for the upper part composed of the combination of the basic parts corresponding to the lowest level. In this case, the drawing file for the basic part corresponding to the lowest level may not be generated. In addition, only one drawing file may be generated for parts overlapping at the same level.

Subsequently, a title column is generated in each drawing file generated in step S20 using the basic data file (S30).

Specifically, a title column is generated in each drawing file by using a part name and a drawing number of a part corresponding to each drawing file among data included in the basic data file.

Then, using the basic data file, a parts list is generated in each drawing file generated in step S20 (S40).

Specifically, a parts list is generated in each drawing file by using the item names, quantities, part numbers, and drawing numbers of the lower parts constituting parts corresponding to the respective drawing files among the data included in the basic data file.

Thereafter, a part of the information written in the title column generated through step S30 may be collectively changed.

In addition, the character strings written in the title column and the parts list generated through the above steps S30 and S40 may be collectively changed.

In addition, the drawing numbers written in the title column and the parts list generated through the above steps S30 and S40 may be collectively changed.

After the drawing work for each drawing file is completed, when the drawing is completed or the document needs to be converted into PDF, TIFF, PLT file, etc., a plurality of drawing files to be printed or converted are selected by the operator and collectively You can output or batch convert.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the drawing file batch generation step (S20), the title field generation step (S30), the parts list generation step (S40) has been described to be performed separately, but the drawing file batch generation step (S20), the title column generation Step S30 and the parts list generation step S40 may be simultaneously performed.

Although the above has been described with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below. Could be.
