[0048]
(Second form of implementationstate)
First, the connection confirmation unit error finding method will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
[0049]
In the graphic information storage means 2, as the edited graphic information D, the connection start point, break point, and end point information D 1 are connected as shown in FIG._{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}, Connection 1_{Break point X1}, Connection 1_{Break point Y1}..., Connection 1_{Break point Xn}, Connection 1_{Break point Yn}, Connection 1_{End point X}, Connection 1_{End point Y}, Connection 2_{Starting point X}, Connection 2_{Starting point Y}, Connection 2_{End point X}, Connection 2_{End point Y}..., connection m_{Starting point X}, Connection m_{Starting point Y}, Connection m_{Break point X1}, Connection m_{Break point Y1}..., connection m_{Break point Xn}, Connection m_{Break point Yn}, Connection m_{End point X}, Connection m_{End point Y}Is remembered.
[0050]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the symbol information D2 includes one symbol, one symbol 1_{Coordinate X}, Symbol 1_{Coordinate Y}, Symbol pin count, pin type, pin 1_{Coordinate X}, Pin 1_{Coordinate Y}... pin n_{Coordinate X}, Pin n_{Coordinate Y}, ..., symbol m name, symbol m_{Coordinate X}, Symbol m_{Coordinate Y}, Symbol m Number of pins, Pin type, Pin 1_{Coordinate X}, Pin 1_{Coordinate Y}... pin n_{Coordinate X}, Pin n_{Coordinate Y}, Is stored like.
[0051]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the line number information D3 is line number 1, line number 1_{Coordinate X}, Wire number 1_{Coordinate Y}, Wire number 2, wire number 2_{Coordinate X}, Wire number 2_{Coordinate Y}..., wire number m, wire number m, wire number m_{Coordinate Y}, Is stored like.
[0052]
On the other hand, returning to FIG.formThe following two rules are stored as accuracy confirmation information (connection confirmation) E1.
[0053]
(1) Diagonal lines cannot be used. Specifically, in the combination of XY coordinates from the start point to the end point of the connection line m, if both the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of a continuous point are changed, it is determined as an oblique line. For example, connection 1_{Starting point X}≠ Connection 1_{Break point X1}And connection 1_{Starting point Y}≠ Connection 1_{Break point Y1}If so, it is determined as a diagonal line.
[0054]
(2) The start and end points of the connection are connected to the symbol pins. Specifically, connection 1_{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}Is not coincident with the coordinates of any pin of any symbol, for example, connection 1_{Starting point X}≠ pin n of symbol m_{Coordinate X}Or connection 1_{Starting point Y}≠ pin n of symbol m_{Coordinate Y}In this case, it is determined that the starting point of the connection 1 is not connected to the symbol pin.
[0055]
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the connection confirmation unit 11 in the graphic accuracy confirmation unit 1 is connected to the connection start point, break point, and end point information D1 and symbol information D2 stored in the graphic information storage unit 2. The graphic accuracy confirmation information (connection confirmation) E1 stored in the graphic accuracy confirmation information storage means 3 is read, and the graphic accuracy confirmation information (for the start point, break point, and end point information D1) ( Using E1 for connection confirmation, the mismatched portion is extracted as error location information (connection confirmation section) J.
[0056]
That is, as an example of detecting a diagonal line, a combination of XY coordinates from the start point to the end point of the connection m (m = 1, 2,...) Is continuously detected with respect to the connection start point, break point, and end point information D1. When both the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the point are changed, it is determined as an oblique line, and error location information (connection confirmation part) J is taken out. Specifically, connection 1_{Starting point X}≠ Connection 1_{Break point X1}And connection 1_{Starting point Y}≠ Connection 1_{Break point Y1}If so, it is determined that the line is diagonal, and the error location information (connection check unit) J is the connection coordinates, for example, connection 1_{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}, Connection 1_{Break point X1}, Connection 1_{Break point Y1}..., Connection 1_{Break point Xn}, Connection 1_{Break point Yn}, Connection 1_{End point X}, Connection 1_{End point Y}Take out.
[0057]
As an example of detection when the start point and end point of the connection are not connected to the pin of the symbol, the coordinates of the start point and end point of the connection m (m = 1, 2,...) If the coordinates do not match, it is determined that “the start and end points of the connection are not connected to the pin of the symbol”, and the error location information (connection check unit) J is taken out.
[0058]
Specifically, connection 1_{Starting point X}≠ pin n of symbol m_{Coordinate X}Or connection 1_{Starting point Y}≠ pin n of symbol m_{Coordinate Y}In the case of (m, n = 1,2,...), it is determined that the starting point of the connection 1 is not connected to the pin of the symbol, and the coordinates of the connection, for example, the connection 1 is used as the error location information (connection check unit) J._{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}, Connection 1_{Break point X1}, Connection 1_{Break point Y1}..., Connection 1_{Break point Xn}, Connection 1_{Break point Yn}, Connection 1_{End point X}, Connection 1_{End point Y}Take out.
[0059]
The error part information (connection confirmation part) J taken out by the connection confirmation part 11 is read into the connection error mark adding part 12, and the color of the connection is based on the error part information (connection confirmation part) J taken out. Or, as shown in FIG. 4, error graphic information (connection confirmation unit) F <b> 1 for changing the line type of the connection is generated and stored in the error graphic information storage unit 4.
[0060]
As shown in FIG. 1, the generated error graphic information F and the edited graphic information D stored in the graphic information storage means 2 are read into the graphic information editing means 5 and output and display information is output to the output means 8 as output information C. B is displayed on the display means 7. An example is shown in FIG.
[0061]
In FIG. 2, the connection error mark adding unit 12 is based on the error location information (connection confirmation unit) J taken out by the connection confirmation unit 11, specifically, error connection start point information P, specifically, X-coordinate, Y-coordinate of connection, for example (connection 1_{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}) And the X coordinate and Y coordinate of the connection not connected to the symbol, for example, (connection 1_{Starting point X}, Connection 1_{Starting point Y}) And output to the error matrix display function 20.
[0062]
The error matrix display function 20 is a matrix of X coordinates and Y coordinates of the received error connection start point information P. Specifically, 0 to 10 of the X coordinates are set to A, 11 to 20 are set to B,. Z, similarly Y coordinate 0-10 is converted to A, 11-20 to B, ..., 250-260 to Z, for example (X, Y) = (8,15) is converted to matrix = AB) The error list information U is output to and stored in the error list information storage means 9.
[0063]
According to the second embodiment, it is possible to reliably detect the connection confirmation unit error.
[0064]
(Third form of implementationstate)
Next, the symbol confirmation unit error finding method will be described in detail.
[0065]
As shown in FIG. 3, the graphic information storage means 2 stores connection start point, break point and end point information D1 and symbol information D2 as edited graphic information D.
[0066]
On the other hand, the following information is stored as the graphic accuracy confirmation information (for symbol confirmation) E2 in the graphic accuracy confirmation information storage means 3 shown in FIG.
[0067]
Pins whose symbol pin types do not match cannot be connected. Specifically, each pin type is defined by a character string having a meaning such as D = device, R = register, S = setting value, and the like for each symbol. For example, assuming that a device can be connected to the pin 1 of the symbol, a register to the 2 pin, a setting value to the 3 pin, and a device to the 4 pin, the pin type is “DRSD”. That is, the symbol information D2 is searched and the symbol m₁(M₁= 1,2,3 ...) pin n₁(N₁= 1,2,3 ...) If the pin type is D, the XY coordinates and connection m of that pin₂(M₂= 1,2,3 ...) Follow the connection line where the XY coordinates of the start point or end point coincide with the start point, break point 1, ... break point n, end point, end point, break point n, ... break point 1, start point Pin n that matches the end point or start point coordinates of the connection₃(N₃= 1,2,3 ...) symbol m with XY coordinates₃(M₃= 1,2,3...), And if it is not D, it is an error rule.
[0068]
Here, the symbol confirmation unit 13 in the graphic accuracy confirmation unit 1 shown in FIG. 2 includes the connection start point, break point, and end point information D1, the symbol information D2, and the graphic stored in the graphic information storage unit 2. The graphic accuracy confirmation information (for symbol confirmation) E2 stored in the accuracy confirmation information storage means 3 is read, and the graphic accuracy confirmation information (symbol confirmation) for the connection start point, break point, and end point information D1 is read. Use E2 to extract the mismatched portion as error location information (symbol) K.
[0069]
As an example of detecting a symbol in which pins having mismatched pin types are connected, a symbol m₁(M₁= 1,2,3 ...) pin n₁(N₁= 1,2,3 ...) If the pin type is D, the connection m in which the coordinate XY of the pin matches the XY coordinate of the start or end of the connection₂(M₂= 1, 2, 3 ...) Start point, break point 1, ... break point n, end point or end point, break point n, ... break point 1, start point (n₂= 1,2,3 ...) and connect m₂Symbol m with XY coordinates of the pin whose end point or start point coordinate of_Three(M₃= 1,2,3 ...) pin n₃(N₃= 1,2,3 ...), and if it is not D, it is determined as an error, and symbol m as error location information (symbol) K₁And the symbol m₃Origin coordinates (symbol m_{1 coordinate X}, Symbol m_{1 coordinate Y}, Symbol m_{3 coordinates X}, Symbol m_{3 coordinates Y}).
[0070]
The error location information (symbol) K extracted by the symbol confirmation unit 13 shown in FIG. 2 is read by the symbol error mark adding unit 14 and the error location information (symbol) K extracted in FIG. As shown, error graphic information (symbol) F2 surrounding the origin of the symbol with a circle having a certain radius is generated and stored in the error graphic information storage means 4.
[0071]
In FIG. 5, the generated error graphic information (symbol) F2 and the edited graphic information D stored in the graphic information storage means 2 are read into the graphic information editing means 5 and output to the output means 8 as output information C for display. An example displayed on the display means 7 as information B is shown.
[0072]
2 is based on the error location information (symbol) K taken out by the symbol confirmation unit 13, and more specifically, the origin information Q of the error symbol, Origin information (symbol m_{Coordinate X}, Symbol m_{Coordinate Y}) "M₄(M₄= 1,2,3...)) And output to the error matrix display function 20.
[0073]
The error matrix display function 20 converts the origin information Q (X coordinate, Y coordinate) of the received error symbol into a matrix in the same manner as described above, and outputs it as error list information U to the error list storage means 9 for storage.
[0074]
According to the third embodiment, it is possible to reliably detect the symbol confirmation unit error.
[0075]
(Fourth embodimentstate)
Next, the line number confirmation unit error finding method will be described in detail.
[0076]
As shown in FIG. 3, the graphic information storage means 2 shown in FIG. 2 stores connection start point, break point, and end point information D1 as reference edit graphic information D. Symbol information D2 and line number information D3 are also stored.
[0077]
On the other hand, in the graphic accuracy confirmation information storage means 3 shown in FIG. 2, the following is stored as graphic accuracy confirmation information (line number confirmation) E3.
[0078]
A wire number whose symbol does not match the first letter of the wire number assigned to the connection cannot be assigned to the connection. Specifically, each pin type is defined by a character string having a meaning such as D = device, R = register, S = setting value, and the like for each symbol. For example, assuming that a device can be connected to the pin 1 of the symbol, a register to the 2 pin, a setting value to the 3 pin, and a device to the 4 pin, the pin type is “DRSD”. That is, if the pin type of a pin of a symbol is D, the line number symbol having the origin of the line number symbol on the connection line where the XY coordinate of the pin and the XY coordinate of the connection start point or end point coincide. When the wire number prefix is other than D, for example, when the wire number is R2000, this is an error rule.
[0079]
Here, the line number confirmation unit 15 in the graphic accuracy confirmation unit 1 shown in FIG. 2 has the connection start point, break point, end point information D1, symbol information D2, and line number stored in the graphic information storage unit 2. The information D3 and the graphic accuracy confirmation information (line number confirmation) E3 stored in the graphic accuracy confirmation information storage means 3 are read, and the graphic accuracy confirmation information (line number confirmation) is read with respect to the line number information D3. Use E3 to extract the matching part as error location information (line number confirmation part) L.
