Abstract

A drawing processing system includes file storage equipment for storing drawing data in the form of pages through division of the drawing data, a memory for storing coordinate correcting values for managing pages in a continuated manner, and a temporary memory for storing page data for executing drawing edition processing. The drawing data are transferred from the file storage equipment to the temporary memory in a continuated manner, while the coordinate correcting values being added thereto. A joined drawing is prepared by combining together the pages along the boundaries thereof on the basis of the drawing data as transferred and by erasing the boundaries between the connected pages. Graphic edition processings such as displacement, joining, separation or the like can be then performed in the joined drawing.
