Abstract
A drawing arranging system includes a first storage portion for storing coupling relationship between aggregate of characteristic points representing an objective drawing for processing and aggregate of relative vectors connecting characteristic points, a second storage portion for storing relational expressions as constraint conditions relating the lengths and directions of the relative vector, a parameter selecting portion for selecting one of parameters, for which values are not yet determined, according to a predetermined rule when the parameter of the relational expression corresponding to the characteristic points and the relative vectors of the drawings as object for processing is the parameter, for which the value is not yet determined, and a drawing arranging portion for sequentially fixing values of parameters selected by the parameter selecting portion and performing re-arrangement of the drawing by updating the attribute of the drawing.
