Abstract

In order to provide an automatic figure drawing apparatus in which erroneous figure drawing can be prevented, neither a large-capacity magnetic disk nor a number of floppy disks is required, and management and operation can be performed easily by integrating a parametric system storing various CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) figures and an inventory control system. An automatic figure drawing apparatus provides a data selection device for selecting figure drawing data of an figure, on the basis of assignment data, from memory in which a data base of various dimensions of predetermined figure drawing subjects is built, and a figure drawing information production device for supplying figure drawing information of a parametric system to a figure drawing output device on the basis of the selected figure drawing data. Thereby, it is possible to prevent mistakes from being produced by a user selecting catalog data in a book.
