System and method for incremental copying of mold design

The present invention relates to a system and method for incremental replication, and more particularly to a system and method for incremental replication in mold design.

There are a lot of part graphics in the mold design, some of the graphics are the same, but the numbers or numbers in the graphics are incremented in increments. There are also some graphics that are only numbered or letter-numbered, but these numbers or numbers also change in increments, as shown at labels 1 and 2 in Figure 1. When the designer draws these parts graphics or numbers and letters, either copy one of the graphics and modify some of the changed numbers or letters, or re-draw a little. No matter which method the designer uses, it takes a lot of time to complete, especially when the graphics are complex.

At present, there are some simple functions in the auxiliary drawing tool to realize the replication of the last digit of the single-string string according to the specified increment value, which is far from being able to adapt to the ever-changing doping in the mold design. The need for incremental replication of various complex graphics.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a mold design incremental copying method for copying numbers or characters in a copied graphic by a given increment value, thereby copying the graphic.

The mold design incremental copying method comprises the steps of: selecting a graphic to be copied from the mold design image and copying the graphic to the clipboard; selecting a string to be changed during the copying process from all the strings of the graphic; Select the character to be changed in the string; set the increment value or decrement value of the character to be changed; modify the character to be changed on the graph in the clipboard with the set increment value; obtain the above selected a minimum bounding kernel of the graph and using a geometric center of the minimum bounding kernel as a pasting reference point; selecting a pasting insertion point based on the pasting reference point; and pasting the graphic in the clipboard to the mold design drawing centering on the pasting insertion point On the file.

In view of the above, the present invention also provides a mold design incremental copy system for copying numbers or characters in a copied graphic by a given increment value to thereby replicate the graphic.

The mold design incremental replication system includes: a selection module for copying a graphic selected in the mold design image to the clipboard; and a obtaining module for acquiring all the characters in the selected graphic; the selection mode The group is also used to select a string to be changed during the copying process from the above string, and select a character to be changed from the string to be changed; a setting module for setting a change increment of the character to be changed a value or a decrement value; a modification module configured to modify a character to be changed on a graphic in the clipboard with a set increment value; the acquisition module is further configured to acquire a minimum enclosing kernel of the selected graphic, and obtain a geometric center of the minimum bounding core, the geometric center is used as a pasting reference point of the copied graphic; the pasting module is configured to select and paste the insertion point based on the pasting reference point, and paste the clipboard with the pasting insertion point as a center The graphic in the picture is on the mold design file.

The mold design incremental replication system and method provided by the invention can adapt to the complex incremental copying requirements of the graphics in the mold assisted design, can automatically read the string in the graphic selected by the designer, and let the designer choose to change. Character and set increment or decrement value, according to the set increment The value or the decrement value modifies the character to be changed, and automatically calculates the geometric center point of the selected graphic as the copy-and-paste reference point, and then selects the insertion point and pastes the graphic of the modified change character to the insertion point and also supports the multiple times. Continuous copy operation enhances traditional copying.
