ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for generating an assembly view from design drawing data by a CAD system are provided which can generate an assembly view of a three-dimensional body viewed from an arbitrary direction in a short time at a low cost with a pinpoint accuracy, the three-dimensional body being particularly composed of a plurality of parts representing a product. First, the three-dimensional product is displayed to a three-dimensional coordinate system set on a two-dimensional plane. Next, a direction of point of view from which the product of the three-dimensional body is desired to be viewed as an assembly view is entered by a value of a degree of axis rotation, and then parts desired to be disassembled and removed from the plurality of the parts constituting the product are instructed and moving directions and moving distances of the parts are entered with respect to all the parts desired to be disassembled and moved. Then, the three-dimensional body is disassembled by moving all the parts instructed to be disassembled in the instructed moving directions by the entered moving distances. The disassembled three-dimensional body is projected onto a two dimensional plane from the previously entered direction of point of view to thereby generate a figure of the three-dimensional body on the two-dimensional plane. Finally, the generated figure of the three-dimensional body is output by a printer or the like.
