The purpose of this research is to provide an environment to
manage design drawings automatically. This environment allows
information, which is stored by layers, to construct drawing in
order to facilitate further manipulation, such as modification,
selecting, outputting, or calculating. The research tries to
have design information well categorized to enhance efficiency.
Drawing information is separated into classes, types, and
layers. Classes are the drawings for design, license, contract;
working drawings are also included. Types are the drawings for
plan, elevation, section, detail of each class. Layers are the
media to store information of different attributes exemplified
through applications. Drawing management are executed based on
the contents stored within class-type table and type-layer
table. The management system will automatically switch on
currently edited layers and off whose unwanted. Research steps
includes studying drawing production methods, classifying
layers, differentiating class, constructing tables, applying
and testing this management system. Projected research outcomes
include improving production and plot efficiency, establishing
class and type table, establishing type and layer table, and
reducing drawing errors.
