Process for the automatic mechanical production of manufacturing documents

摘要

A process is disclosed for the machine production of engineering data of products made of components assembled according to individual specifications. The original schematic drawing, which acts as a generaic representation of the product variation spectrum, and in which all possible components of the product are represented by at least one symbol, is coded and stored in the memory of the information processing equipment. The conditions for the presence of components or operation means of components in a specific design of the product are stored in the memory in such a way that they are associated with the symbols of the original schematic drawing which correspond to the components or to the operating means of the components. According to this process, a target schematic drawing is generated by checking on the basis of the specification values if the conditions associated with each symbol of the original schematic drawing are fulfilled, and by deciding depending on the check results (and possibly on other criteria) if and how the symbol in question will be integrated into the target schematic drawing. The target schematic drawing serves as engineering data.
