Abstract
The invention which relates to a method for coupling a CAD system to a database and planning system for interchanging data between both systems is based on the problem of specifying a method for coupling CAD systems to different database and planning systems, which method reduces the outlay in the event of changes and adaptations to different systems. According to the present invention, the problem is solved by virtue of the fact that the conversion between the communication protocols takes place in two substeps in such a manner that the data are converted from the first communication protocol into a third communication protocol in a CAD abstraction layer and are then converted from this third communication protocol into the second communication protocol in a useful layer or vice versa.
