Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To save the time and effort required to create a drawing when inputting a development board connection diagram in a CAD system. [Configuration] When changing an expanded connection diagram including similar circuits, instead of displaying and processing on a graphic display, first, (1) extracting similar circuits to create a common circuit pattern, and at the same time, as ancillary information thereof. Assign a key to the changed part of the entered characters and create an assignment table. Next (2)
Copy the common circuit pattern. Then, the desired change content for the (3) key is designated from the keyboard.
(4) The above processes (2) and (3) are repeated for the number of circuits.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for automatically editing a developed connection diagram when inputting a developed connection diagram for a switchboard in a CAD system, and more particularly to a method for automatically editing a developed connection diagram for changing a written character.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When editing the contents of a drawing with a CAD system, it is usual to display the drawing on a conventional graphic display for processing. The same applies to the characters entered in the drawing, for example, "N" in the drawing shown in FIG.
If you want to change "o.1" to "No. 2" as shown in Fig. 5 (b), first display the drawing and then use a coordinate input device such as a tablet digitizer or mouse as shown in the process drawing in Fig. 5. Then, the input character to be changed is designated, and the display is updated by keyboard input.

[0003]

By the way, generally, in the developed connection diagram for a switchboard, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), there are many similar circuits and the same written characters are used in the drawings. Many are written. For example, as the information attached to the symbol, the instrument number 71, the Japanese comment 72, etc. shown in FIG. 7 are written in one or more sheets with the same content in the drawings, and such a drawing is used in the entire equipment. It may range from one to several thousand. When editing the expansion connection diagram, if there are many similar circuits, there is also a method of creating a large number of duplicate diagrams by a copy process and changing only the entered characters. However, in the end, it was necessary to display the characters one by one on the graphic display and change the entered characters, which was a very laborious and time-consuming task. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an efficient method for automatically editing a developed connection diagram, which saves the trouble and time for drawing creation.

[0004]

Means for solving the above-mentioned problems in the present invention are as follows. In an automatic editing method for editing a development connection diagram including a similar circuit and a writing character as its auxiliary information, the drawings are collectively pressed by a key. The method for automatically editing the expanded connection diagram is to be changed, and it is preferable to key in some or all of the entered characters.

[0005]

The present invention is a method for collectively changing a drawing for a key when changing an expanded connection diagram including a similar circuit, instead of displaying it on a graphic display for processing. Especially, the change of the entered characters is made by key input. For this reason, in the present invention, a similar circuit is extracted to create a common circuit pattern, and at the same time, a key is assigned to a changed portion of a written character to create an assignment table, and the common circuit pattern is copied to a key. CAD data is created by instructing desired changes with a keyboard.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a process chart of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the embodiment processes the following steps.

(1) A similar circuit as shown in FIG. 2 is extracted from the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, and a circuit pattern of the common circuit portion 21 surrounded by a dotted line in the drawing is created. Then, keys are assigned to the changed portions of the entered characters, and a key assignment table as shown in the table below is created.

[0008]

[Table 1]

Table 1 shows the entered characters corresponding to "%" and "#" of the common circuit pattern 31 of FIG.

(2) The created common circuit pattern is first copied in the memory as the circuit 1.

(3) The contents of the desired changes to the keys are shown in FIG.
The input is given from the keyboard as shown in the input sample 32a.
For example, in the case of the circuit 1, if the user inputs "%"",""1""#"",""ho""°""n""fu""°", the desired circuit pattern 33a is created. ..

(4) The above processes (2) and (3) are repeated for each circuit. As the circuit 2, the input sample 32b of FIG. 3 is used.
Thus, the circuit pattern 33b is created.

(5) As a result of these, CAD data 34 is created.

The following effects are apparent in this embodiment.

(1) The time for displaying on the graphic terminal device becomes unnecessary.

(2) The operation of designating each written character is unnecessary.

(3) Since the keys are collectively changed, the number of key inputs is reduced.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide an efficient automatic development connection diagram editing method that saves the labor and time of drawing creation.
