Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the time for outputting a graphic by outputting automatically a drawing frame conforming to a paper size at the time of outputting a drawing to an X-Y plotter. CONSTITUTION:Conversion data in which a drawing frame conforming to a paper size is converted to an instruction of an X-Y plotter in advance is registered in a memory 35 in a CAD/CAM device in advance. In this state, at the time of inputting a drawing to the CAD/CAM device, a worker inputs a paper size from a keyboard first. As a result, the conversion data conforming to the paper size is fetched from in the memory of the CAD/CAM device registered in advance, and outputted to the X-Y plotter 31 through an external output device 39 from the CAD/CAM device. In such a way, the time for outputting a drawing to the X-Y plotter can be shortened.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Special field of M industry] This invention is a method for printing drawings by superimposing picture frames on an X-Y plotter without displaying picture frames on a CRT screen (hereinafter referred to as the screen). The present invention relates to a CAD/CAM device that reduces drawing output time.

A CAD/CAM device outputs drawings on an X-Y printer. When a conventional CAD/CAM device outputs a drawing, the following processing is performed internally. A figure is composed of graphic elements. Graphic elements include straight lines, circles, arcs, etc. To output a figure on the screen, if it is a straight line, draw a on the screen from the starting point to the ending point 1 and output the command to the screen. This command data is stored in a pan for each graphic element. In order to operate the X-Y plotter, commands such as lowering the pen, raising the pen, and moving the pen must be output from the t-CAD/CAM device to the X-Y plotter. It is also necessary to change the movement commands for the robot depending on the screen size and paper size. Therefore, processing to convert it into this instruction is performed internally. The converted data is output to the XY plotter via an external force device (to) the CAD/CAM device K.

For this reason, it was necessary to output a picture frame that matched the paper size to be output on the -ili plane, and to match the picture frame and figure on the screen. In the case of CAD/CAM equipment, picture frames were also treated as figures. For this reason, the operator had to free up a paper-sized picture frame when outputting.

In general, the number of graphical elements of a picture frame is greater than the number of graphical elements of a drawing. Furthermore, in the CAD/CAM device, as shown in FIG. 1, conversion work into data that can be used by an X-Y plotter is performed every time a drawing is output. For this reason, it took a lot of time to output the drawings.

In conventional CAD/CAM devices, as mentioned above, it takes time to convert graphic elements into X-Y plotter instructions. In order to compensate for this drawback, the data is converted into x-y plotter instructions in advance using a CAD/C
It is stored in the AM device and output to the X-Y 7' lock when outputting a drawing, and then the graphic data is output to the 1x-y block which is converted into an X-Y plotter command. For this reason, picture frame t7
r: The time required to convert to x-y blotter instructions can be reduced. [Means for Solving the Problems] In conventional CADICAM devices, the picture frame was also treated as a figure, so it was necessary to create data on the screen once when outputting it to an X-Y plotter. Furthermore, since the X-Y plotter has several paper sizes to output, it was also necessary to determine the size of the image frame to be output. Eliminate this drawback
In order to do this, the conversion data in which a picture frame that matches the paper size is converted into X-Y plotter commands in advance is registered in the memory of the CAD/CAM device. Then, when the operator inputs the paper size before defining the figure, the conversion data of the figure corresponding to the paper size is automatically output from the memory in the CAD/CAM device to the XY plotter.

During this time, the worker can concentrate on drawing the figures. When the figure is completed, the drawing is completed by outputting only the figure to the t-X-Y plotter.
