ELECTRONIC DRAWING DATA TRANSLATION

摘要

Processing data objects of a two-dimensional drawing includes marking da ta objects corresponding to annotation, separating the drawing into a plurality of views, and associating each of the data objects corresponding to annotation with one of the views. Separating the drawing into a plurality of views may include constructing a plurality of intersection and proximity graphs and using the graphs to provide a pluralit y of connected sets, where each set may correspond to one of the views. The border views ma y be identified by determining which of the views include less than a predetermin ed number of elements, contain at least two other views, and are not contained in other views.
