Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering design drawing technology, and in particular to an automated drawing management method and system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing complexity of the construction industry's demands, traditional two-dimensional design can no longer fully meet market needs. The core of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is to create a virtual three-dimensional model of the building project. BIM design has five major characteristics: visualization, coordination, simulation, optimization, and drawing output. It can be applied not only in design but also throughout the entire life cycle of construction projects.

[0003] In architectural engineering design, the design project drawing stage refers to the entire management process of converting design content into drawings, archiving and signing them. It is a key node in the entire project and directly affects the efficiency and quality of project deliverables.

[0004] Currently, most BIM design tools assist designers in improving design efficiency. The entire drawing management process still relies on manual coordination and lacks automated management tools. There is no comprehensive management of the entire drawing process, and there are gaps in the drawing file archiving process. Personnel need to manually upload drawing files for archiving, which leads to chaotic drawing file version management during implementation and seriously affects the efficiency and quality of project deliverables. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an automated drawing management method and system to solve the technical problem of chaotic drawing file version management.

[0006] To address the above problems, this invention provides an automated drawing management method, comprising:

[0007] The first terminal creates a plotting task via the web interface and sends the plotting task information to the second terminal.

[0008] The second terminal selects a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attaches the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information to generate the second drawing task information;

[0009] The second terminal, based on the second drawing task information, jumps to the BIMBase terminal via the Windows application, downloads the design file on the BIMBase terminal, creates drawings, maintains the title block information of the drawings, generates the third drawing task information, and initiates a drawing task approval application to the first terminal.

[0010] The first terminal, based on the third drawing task information, completes the drawing task approval through the Windows application and sends the approved information to the second terminal.

[0011] The second terminal performs batch conversion of the drawings through the BIMBase terminal, generates archived files, and then electronically signs the archived files through the Windows application terminal to achieve automated drawing management.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the first terminal creates a plotting task via a web interface and sends first plotting task information to the second terminal, including:

[0013] The first terminal creates a plotting task via the web interface and sets the first plotting task information and the title bar information;

[0014] The first map output task information is sent to the second terminal via a task push message. The map output task includes at least a map output sub-item, participating profession, and map output version.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the second terminal selects a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attaches the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information, generating second drawing task information, including:

[0016] The design file is obtained by a third terminal through a web interface and uploaded to the standard drawing frame library.

[0017] According to the first drawing output task information, the second terminal selects a design file from the standard drawing frame library by clicking the "Attach Drawing File" button on the drawing output task information page through the web interface, and then attaches the design file to the drawing output task.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the second terminal, based on the second drawing task information, redirects to the BIMBase terminal via a Windows application, and downloads the design file from the BIMBase terminal, including:

[0019] According to the second drawing task information, the second terminal clicks on the design file of the drawing task through the Windows application and jumps to the BIMBase terminal, and downloads the design file and the external link file corresponding to the design file through the BIMBase terminal;

[0020] Save the design file and the external link file to the local design file directory, and configure the external link relationship of the design file.

[0021] In one possible implementation, downloading the design file and the corresponding external link file via the BIMBase includes:

[0022] Determine whether the design file exists in the design file directory;

[0023] When the design file does not exist in the design file directory, the latest version of the design file in the standard drawing frame library is downloaded through the BIMBase terminal; when the design file exists in the design file directory, it is determined whether the design file is the latest version of the design file.

[0024] When the design file is an old version design file, the latest version design file in the standard drawing frame library is downloaded through the BIMBase terminal, and the old version design file is updated to the latest version design file;

[0025] Determine whether the external link file exists in the design file directory;

[0026] When the external link file does not exist in the design file directory, the latest version of the external link file in the standard drawing frame library is downloaded through the BIMBase terminal. When the external link file exists in the design file directory, it is determined whether the external link file is the latest version of the external link file.

[0027] When the external link file is an older version, the latest version of the external link file in the standard drawing frame library is downloaded through the BIMBase terminal, and the older version of the external link file is updated to the latest version of the external link file.

[0028] In one possible implementation, after creating a drawing and maintaining the title block information of the drawing, third drawing task information is generated, and a drawing task approval application is initiated to the first terminal, including:

[0029] The second terminal creates drawings through the BIMBase terminal and inserts the title block into the drawings;

[0030] The title block information is filled in according to the second drawing task information to generate the third drawing task information, and a drawing task approval application is sent to the first terminal. The title block information in the drawing is modified in batches using a drawing information batch modification tool.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the first terminal, based on the third drawing task information, completes the drawing task approval through the Windows application and sends the approved information to the second terminal, including:

[0032] After receiving the approval for the drawing task to be output through the Windows application, the first terminal reviews the information of the third drawing task.

[0033] Once the review is approved, the approved information will be sent to the second terminal.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the second terminal performs batch conversion of the drawings via BIMBase to generate archived files, and then electronically signs the archived files via a Windows application to achieve automated drawing management, including:

[0035] The second terminal receives the approved drawing task through a Windows application and then redirects to the BIMBase terminal through the drawing task.

[0036] The design files are batch converted using the BIMBase terminal to obtain PDF drawing files. The design files and the PDF drawing files are then uploaded to generate archive files.

[0037] The archived files are electronically signed using a Windows application, enabling automated drawing management.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the step of electronically signing the archived files via a Windows application to achieve automated drawing management includes:

[0039] The second terminal calls the electronic signature service through a Windows application and uses the electronic signature service to electronically sign the archived documents, thereby achieving automated drawing management.

[0040] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an automated drawing management system, comprising: a first terminal and a second terminal;

[0041] The first terminal is used to create a plotting task via the web interface and send the plotting task information to the second terminal.

[0042] The second terminal is used to select a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attach the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information to generate the second drawing task information;

[0043] The second terminal is also used to jump to the BIMBase terminal through the Windows application terminal according to the second drawing task information, download the design file on the BIMBase terminal, create drawings, maintain the title block information of the drawings, generate the third drawing task information, and initiate a drawing task approval application to the first terminal.

[0044] The first terminal is also used to complete the approval of the drawing task through the Windows application based on the third drawing task information, and send the approved information to the second terminal;

[0045] The second terminal is also used to batch convert the drawings through the BIMBase terminal, generate archive files, and then electronically sign the archive files through the Windows application terminal to achieve automated drawing management.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The first terminal creates a drawing task via a web interface, and the second terminal selects design files based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, avoiding inconsistencies in drawing frames used by different projects. According to the drawing task information, the design files are attached to the drawing task. Based on the second drawing task information, the second terminal jumps to the BIMBase terminal via a Windows application, automatically downloading the design files and creating drawings on the BIMBase terminal. It also maintains the drawing title information on the drawings, synchronizing the latest drawing information of the drawing task to the drawing frame, avoiding inconsistencies between the information on the drawing frame and the project's drawing information due to manual errors. The second terminal performs batch conversion of the drawings on the BIMBase terminal, generating archived files, thus completing the closed-loop management of drawing file download, printing, and archiving. This replaces the traditional method of manual copying and archiving by designers, improving the efficiency of drawing operations while avoiding version inconsistencies in the drawing files. Electronic signatures are applied to the archived files via the Windows application, preventing tampering and improving the security of the drawing files. Attached Figure Description

[0053] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0054] One specific embodiment of the present invention discloses an automated drawing output management method. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the automated drawing management method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 Automated drawing management methods include:

[0055] S101. The first terminal creates a plotting task through the Web interface and sends the first plotting task information to the second terminal.

[0056] S102. The second terminal selects a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attaches the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information, thereby generating the second drawing task information.

[0057] S103. Based on the second drawing task information, the second terminal jumps to the BIMBase terminal through the Windows application terminal. After downloading the design file on the BIMBase terminal, it creates the drawing, maintains the drawing label information, generates the third drawing task information, and sends a drawing task approval application to the first terminal.

[0058] S104. The first terminal, based on the third drawing task information, completes the drawing task approval through the Windows application and sends the approved information to the second terminal.

[0059] S105. The second terminal performs batch conversion of drawings through the BIMBase terminal, generates archived files, and then performs electronic signatures on the archived files through the Windows application terminal to achieve automated drawing management.

[0060] The system consists of three terminals: the first terminal for project managers, the second terminal for project designers, and the third terminal for platform managers. Platform managers manage and maintain the standard drawing frame library via the web interface. Project designers create drawing tasks via the web interface. Based on the drawing task information, project designers select design files from the standard drawing frame library. Project designers then click on the design file of the drawing task via the Windows application to jump to the BIMBase terminal. The BIMBase terminal automatically downloads the design file and the corresponding external link file.

[0061] Compared with existing technologies, the automated drawing management method provided in this embodiment involves a first terminal creating a drawing task via a web interface and sending first drawing task information to a second terminal. The second terminal selects a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library and, according to the first drawing task information, attaches the design file to the drawing task, generating second drawing task information. It automatically calls the latest version of the drawing frame from the standard drawing frame library as the design file, avoiding inconsistencies in drawing frames used across different projects. Based on the second drawing task information, the second terminal redirects to the BIMBase terminal via a Windows application. After downloading the design file from the BIMBase terminal, it creates drawings and maintains the drawing title information, generating third drawing task information. The latest project drawing information is synchronized to the drawing frame, avoiding inconsistencies between the information on the drawing frame and the project drawing information due to manual errors. A drawing task approval application is then initiated to the first terminal. After approval, the second terminal uses the BIMBase terminal to batch convert the drawings and generate archived files, completing a closed-loop management of drawing file download, printing, and archiving. This replaces the traditional manual methods of designers manually copying and archiving files, improving drawing efficiency and avoiding version inconsistencies. Electronic signatures are applied to archived files via a Windows application, automating drawing management and preventing tampering, thus enhancing the security of the drawing files.

[0062] In some embodiments, in step S101, the first terminal creates a drawing task via a web interface. Project managers create drawing tasks via the web interface according to the project schedule and client requirements. For a schematic diagram of the drawing task, please refer to [link to schematic diagram]. Figure 2 A drawing task must include at least a drawing sub-item, participating disciplines, and drawing version. After creating a drawing task, the first drawing task information and the title block information are set. The drawing task information and the title block information of each discipline are set online through the web terminal. The first drawing task information is sent to the second terminal through a task push message. That is, the drawing task information is notified to the project designers of the relevant sub-items and disciplines through the task push message. The drawing task can also be deleted through the web terminal.

[0063] In some embodiments, in step S102, after the second terminal receives the first drawing task information, the second terminal selects a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attaches the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information to generate the second drawing task information. First, the design file is obtained by the third terminal through the Web client and uploaded to the standard drawing frame library. The platform administrator manages and maintains the standard drawing frame library through the Web client, including adding, modifying, and deleting standard drawing frames. The platform administrator collects various standard drawing frame template files of the enterprise, fine-tunes the standard drawing frame template files through the Web client, and then uploads the standard drawing frame template files to the collaborative design server. The fine-tuning of the standard drawing frame template files includes modifying the classification, drawing size, size, and other attribute fields of the standard drawing frame template files. The classification is based on different project uses, drawing sizes, and extension ratios. After modification, standard drawing frame template files are uploaded to the standard drawing frame library of the collaborative design server via the web interface, thus adding standard drawing frames. The standard drawing frame template file is a design file. After uploading, the drawing frame file version on the collaborative design server is updated, and the new standard drawing frames are automatically distributed to project designers. Next, based on the first drawing task information, the second terminal selects a design file from the standard drawing frame library by clicking the "Attach Drawing File" button on the drawing task information page via the web interface, attaching the design file to the drawing task. After receiving the first drawing task information via the web interface, the project designer obtains the "Attach Drawing File" button on the task details page based on the first drawing task information. After clicking the "Attach Drawing File" button, they select the design file to be drawn from the standard drawing frame library, attach the design file to the drawing task, and update the first drawing task information, generating the second drawing task information. For a schematic diagram of attaching drawing files, please refer to [link to schematic diagram]. Figure 3 .

[0064] In some embodiments, in step S103, the second terminal, based on the second drawing task information, jumps to the BIMBase terminal via a Windows application and downloads the design files on the BIMBase terminal. First, it obtains the drawing file list of the drawing task based on the second drawing task information. The drawing file list contains multiple design files. The project designer clicks on a design file in the drawing file list of the drawing task via the Windows application to jump to the BIMBase terminal. Second, it downloads the design file and the corresponding external link file through the BIMBase terminal. The BIMBase terminal automatically downloads the design file required for the corresponding task and the corresponding external link file from the collaborative design server. It saves the design file and the external link file to the local design file directory. It automatically completes the external link configuration of the design file according to the algorithm and records the relative paths of other design files referenced by the external links in the file in the external link reference relationship table of the cloud server. After automatically configuring the external link relationship, it automatically opens the drawing file. After all the design files under a project are downloaded to the local machine, the relative paths between the files are consistent with the server and remain unchanged. In this way, it is ensured that the design file can maintain the link relationship with the external link file through the relative path.

[0065] After downloading the design files and external links, the latest versions of the design files and external links in the design file directory are checked and updated. The process for checking and updating the design file version is as follows: First, determine if the design file exists in the design file directory. If it does not exist, download the latest version of the design file from the standard drawing frame library via the BIMBase client. If the design file exists, determine if it is the latest version. If the design file is an older version, download the latest version of the design file from the standard drawing frame library via the BIMBase client and update the older version to the latest version. Similarly, the process for checking and updating the external links is as follows: First, determine if the external links exist in the design file directory. If they do not exist, download the latest version of the external links from the standard drawing frame library via the BIMBase client. If the external links exist, determine if they are the latest version. If the external links are older versions, download the latest version of the external links from the standard drawing frame library via the BIMBase client and update the older version to the latest version.

[0066] After downloading the design files and external links, project designers create drawings and maintain title block information through the BIMBase client, generating third-party drawing task information and initiating a drawing task approval application to the first terminal. Project designers create drawings from the design files using the functions provided by the BIMBase client. When creating drawings, they quickly select the required title block based on the standard title block type, sheet size, and extension ratio. The system automatically creates the drawing and inserts it into the title block, while automatically filling in information in the title block according to the second-party drawing task information. When the drawing task information changes, specific information in the title block of the drawings is batch modified through the BIMBase client. Specific information in the title block includes at least the drawing name, drawing number, version, and drawing date. Project designers use the batch drawing information modification tool to batch modify the title block information in the drawings. For a diagram illustrating batch drawing information modification, please refer to [link to diagram]. Figure 4 The third drawing task information is generated, that is, the modified drawing task information is obtained. After the project designer completes the drawing creation work of all drawing files, the modified drawing task information is synchronized to the drawing label column through the BIMBase terminal, and then the task approval application is initiated for the current drawing task, that is, the drawing task approval application is initiated to the first terminal through the BIMBase terminal.

[0067] In some embodiments, in step S104, the first terminal completes the approval of the drawing task through a Windows application based on the third drawing task information, and the project manager completes the approval of the drawing application through the Windows application. The process is as follows: the project manager receives the drawing application that needs to be approved through the Windows application, and after clicking the drawing application, the detailed information of the third drawing task pops up. The detailed information of the third drawing task includes at least the project, stage, sub-item, specialty, drawing file, and drawing information. The project manager judges the drawing task based on the detailed information of the drawing task. When the drawing requirements are met, the project manager clicks the "Approve" button to complete the approval process. When the drawing requirements are not met, the project manager clicks the "Return" button to return the drawing task. After the drawing task is approved, the approval information is sent to the second terminal.

[0068] In some embodiments, in step S105, after the second terminal receives the approval information, it performs batch conversion of the drawings through the BIMBase terminal to generate archived files. The process is as follows: Project designers receive the approved drawing task through a Windows application, click on the drawing task, and are redirected to the BIMBase terminal. The BIMBase terminal then batch converts the drawings in the design files into PDF drawing files. For a schematic diagram of the batch generation of PDF drawing files, please refer to [link to schematic diagram]. Figure 5The system automatically submits the design files and PDF drawings to the collaborative design server, generates archive files, and stores the archive files in the collaborative design server's archive library.

[0069] After generating the archived files, the second terminal uses a Windows application to electronically sign the archived files, achieving automated drawing management. Project designers receive drawing tasks through the Windows application, select the archived PDF files using the electronic signature function on the drawing task details page, click the electronic signature button to call the electronic signature service to electronically sign the archived PDFs, add the electronic signatures of the drawing-related personnel to the signed PDF files, and affix an electronic seal with CA verification, which has tamper-proof properties, thus completing automated drawing management.

[0070] The collaborative design platform includes a web interface, a Windows application interface, a BIMBase interface, and an electronic signature service. Drawing output and process management are completed through the collaborative design platform.

[0071] To better implement the automated drawing management method in this embodiment of the invention, based on the automated drawing management method, correspondingly, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides an automated drawing management system, which includes: a first terminal 601 and a second terminal 602.

[0072] The first terminal 601 is used to create a plotting task via a web interface and send the first plotting task information to the second terminal 602.

[0073] The second terminal 602 is used to select a design file based on the acquired standard drawing frame library, and attach the design file to the drawing task according to the first drawing task information to generate the second drawing task information;

[0074] The second terminal 602 is also used to jump to the BIMBase terminal through the Windows application terminal according to the second drawing task information, download the design file through the BIMBase terminal, create drawings, maintain the drawing label information of the drawings, generate the third drawing task information, and send a drawing task approval application to the first terminal 601.

[0075] The first terminal 601 is also used to complete the approval of the drawing task through the Windows application based on the third drawing task information, and send the approved information to the second terminal 602.

[0076] The second terminal 602 is also used to batch convert drawings through the BIMBase terminal, generate archive files, and then electronically sign the archive files through the Windows application terminal to achieve automated drawing management.

[0077] In summary, the automated drawing management method and system provided by this invention involves a first terminal creating a drawing task via a web interface and sending first drawing task information to a second terminal. The second terminal selects a design file based on an acquired standard drawing frame library and, according to the first drawing task information, attaches the design file to the drawing task, generating second drawing task information.
