Abstract
A graphic data conversion method converts the original data of a first format of a drawing or a product into basic element records comprising basic graphic elements, dimension line elements and text elements, organizes an intermediate data file by properly inserting edit partition records and edit records, and then converts the data stored in the intermediate data file into the data of a second format of the drawing or the product. Translators can be easily organized and the degree of freedom and efficiency of data conversion are enhanced, since the data is stored perspicuously in the intermediate data file in elements and structures.
