A code generation program, referred to as a parent program, for the creation of a child program for generating CAD script commands for automatically creating drawings in a CAD program. The parent program accepts descriptive information of the properties of various drawing entities and combines this information with computer statement templates to create functional computer statements, which calculates the values of the properties of the drawing entity. The parent program outputs these functional computer statements to the child program. The parent program also contains CAD script command templates and code to combine these templates with the calculated values of the properties of the drawing entity to create a functional CAD script command. The parent program also outputs the CAD script command templates and the CAD script combiner code to the child program.
A computer system for generating computer code for creating a CAD script command file from the input of geometric data which defines a drawing entity, that comprises:
A method for generating computer code for creating a CAD script file from a first computer program, said first computer program having code elements for accepting geometric data of a drawing entity, code elements defining code templates for the creation of functional codes statements for the creation of CAD script commands, code elements for combining said geometric data with said predefined code templates to create said functional code statements, code elements for outputting said functional code statements to a computer storage medium, and code elements for outputting CAD script commands created by said functional code statements to said computer storage medium, said method comprising the steps of:
