Abstract: A design supporting program, a design supporting method, a design supporting apparatus and a computer-readable recording medium recorded with a design supporting program, wherein assignment of graphical elements is simplified, and an amount of work required to input dimensions of graphical elements is reduced, by adding feature dependent graphical interpretation.

Abstract: There is provided a design support system which supports work for designing a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape by combining a plurality of parts and assembly data showing the arrangement relationship between the parts, and by which a desirable assembly data can be found easily. Shape display output unit displays the two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape stored in a database on a display unit. Part specification unit specifies a predetermined part displayed on the display unit. Assembly data acquisition unit acquires assembly data relating to the specified part from the database. Assembly data display output unit rearranges the acquired assembly data according to the hierarchical structure and displays the rearranged assembly data on the display unit. Level number specification unit makes a part of hierarchical structure displayed by the assembly data display output unit in a non-display state.
