Abstract: A computer-aided-design system used with a computer forms a shape model for applications of a product to be manufactured. A plurality of shape forming function information having forming commands for various shapes of the product for expressing in the shape model for the applications is included to form the shape model for the applications based on a selection of the shape forming function information. The shape model for the applications can be defined by its shape derived from a basic shape. Further, the shape forming function information of the shape model for the applications can be defined as a set of the forming commands that correspond to the basic shape and the forming command corresponding to a shape derived from the basic shape. Thus by effectively controlling the shape of each desired model, a simple model forming process can be performed.

Abstract: An action management support system that manages and supports through computers actions taken by persons in charge of various duties accompanied by production. The system uses a process information that defines a flow of a plurality tasks in a duty executed by the at least one person, and a product information that includes contents of a product manufactured at each of the plurality of tasks. The system also includes a controller that controls the system to relate the each of the plurality of tasks with the product information immediately before each task, the relationship involving an input and output information of each task, and a product manufactured at each task. Furthermore, the system includes a memory that stores and retains the each of the plurality of tasks and the product information that are related to each other so that the relationship of the each of the plurality of tasks and the product information can be used as a reference.

Abstract: A display system, a display method and a recording media thereof that displays at least one part of the object selected in a detail view and at least one other part unselected, and related to the detail view, in an outline view on a display device based on the relational information. The display system comprises a memory, an input device and a controller. The memory stores drawing data of at least one part of the object. The input device receives input conditions used to display the drawing on a display screen of the display device. The controller imports selective information input from the input device to determine the at least one part of the object selected to be displayed in at least one of a detail view and an outline view. The controller also imports relational information input using the input device to determine a relation between parts and reads-in the drawing data from the memory.
