Abstract
Methods for computer aided design (CAD) and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes performing a setup process to instantiate a booklet of CAD drawings. The method includes receiving a user selection of a template from a user. The method includes receiving geometry content information from the user and receiving reference geometry from a user. The method includes creating the booklet of CAD drawings based on the template, geometry content information and reference geometry. A CAD system maintains a CAD drawing booklet, the CAD drawing booklet associated with a plurality of drawings each including a sheet collection, and each drawing associated with at least one component.
Claims20
A drawing automation method performed by a computer aided design (CAD) data processing system, comprising:
- performing a setup process to instantiate a booklet of CAD drawings;
- receiving a user selection of a template from a user;
- receiving geometry content information from the user;
- receiving reference geometry from a user;
- and
- creating the booklet of CAD drawings based on the template, geometry content information an reference geometry.
A computer aided design (CAD) data processing system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an accessible memory, the data processing system particularly configured to perform a setup process to instantiate a booklet of CAD drawings;
- receive a user selection of a template from a user;
- receive geometry content information from the user;
- receive reference geometry from a user;
- and
- create the booklet of CAD drawings based on the template, geometry content information an reference geometry.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more computer aided design (CAD) data processing systems to:
- perform a setup process to instantiate a booklet of CAD drawings;
- receive a user selection of a template from a user;
- receive geometry content information from the user;
- receive reference geometry from a user;
- and
- create the booklet of CAD drawings based on the template, geometry content information an reference geometry.
A computer aided design (CAD) data processing system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- an accessible memory, the data processing system particularly configured to maintain a CAD drawing booklet, the CAD drawing booklet associated with a plurality of drawings each including a sheet collection, and each drawing associated with at least one component.
