COMPUTER AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR ANALYSING amp; INTERPRETING ENGINEERING DRAWINGS

摘要

A computer automated process for analysing and interpreting engineering drawings in CAD file format wherein a central processing unit which is operatively coupled to a storage means, a memory means, an input means and an output means operating in accordance with a predefined set of instructions analyses drawings and interprets symbols, graphical elements and textual information from the drawing to determine the relationship between the symbols, graphical elements and textual information to provide a quantitative analysis of the graphical elements and to further provide three dimensional reconstruction of the drawings and further provide an interpretation of the data from the drawings in accordance with a predetermined formula and wherein all predefined instructions to operate the central processing unit and all predefined algorithms and instructions and formulae to analyse and interpret the engineering drawings are stored in the storage means.
