Patent ID: 6990649

Claim:
A method for generating a drawing of a network of at least one conductor and a plurality of connectors which includes the steps: A,) composing a schematic representation of said network showing said conductors linked together by said connectors; B.) compiling a list of available conductors including part name, vendor source, current capacity; C.) compiling a list of connector variables wherein each connector variable represents one of said network connectors respectively; D.) matching each connector with a vendor part number determined by matching anticipated current in said network connector with current capacity of an available connector; E.) assigning to each connector variable a connector value wherein each connector value is at least one of: connector coordinates defining location of said network connector; connector type; vendor part number; anticipated current value through said network connector, respectively; F.) compiling a list of conductor variables wherein each conductor variable represents a conductor connecting one of said network connectors to another one of said network connectors; G.) assigning to each conductor variable at least one conductor value of a set of conductor values, each conductor value corresponding to one of: anticipated length of said respective conductor; current anticipated in said conductor; wire gage of said conductor; type of said conductor; H.) creating a drawing of the network representing relative locations of network connectors and conductors connecting said network connectors wherein each network connector is labeled by a respective one of said connector variables and each conductor is labeled by a respective one of said conductor variables.
