Patent ID: 7123256

Claim:
A drawing-registration system comprising: a drawing-creation means for creating a parent drawing for a specified part; a drawing creation system database storing said parent drawing, which was created by said drawing-creation means, storing parent drawing ID information for identifying said part, and correlating said parent drawing ID information and said parent drawing; an input means for inputting drawing-related information that is related to said parent drawing, which was created by said drawing-creation means; an input means for inputting symmetrical-part information that indicates said part that corresponds to said parent drawing and a part that has left-right symmetry; a management-information database storing said drawing-related information and said symmetrical-part information; a data-format-conversion means for converting data format of said parent drawing that is stored by said drawing creation system database; a converted-data database for storing said parent drawing whose data format has been converted by said data-format-conversion means, the converted-data database is separate from the drawing creation system database; a correlation means for correlating said parent drawing, said drawing-related information and said symmetrical-part information by combining said parent drawing ID information of said parent drawing with a first specified ID code to form drawing-related ID information, and attaching this drawing-related ID information to said drawing-related information that corresponds to said part; and by combining said parent drawing ID information of said parent drawing that corresponds to said part with a second specified ID code to form symmetrical-part ID information, and attaching this symmetrical-part ID information to said symmetrical-part information that corresponds to said parent drawing; a drawing-search database for converting data format of said parent drawing, said drawing-related information and said symmetrical-part information from decimal to hexadecimal information and storing, the drawing-search database is separate from the drawing creation system database and the converted-data database; a search means for searching said parent drawing of said part that corresponds to said parent drawing ID information, said drawing-related information that is correlated with said parent drawing, and said symmetrical-part information that is correlated with said parent drawing from said drawing-search database, when there is an instruction by way of a specified terminal to search for a drawing that corresponds to the parent drawing ID information of a specified part; and a printing means for printing the search results of said search means.
