Abstract
A method and an automation system for processing information extractable from an engineering drawing file. The automation system includes a controller which models in the engineering drawing file () at least two objects () in a predefined format by adding at least two entities () to the engineering drawing file () (S) and by adding support information () to the engineering drawing file () (S) to provide the extractable information (S), provides a program sequence () in an automation application () to establish a correlation of the extractable information (S), correlates the extractable information by executing the program sequence () (S), and generates output data () based on the established correlation of the extractable information (S). The correlation of the extractable information is established only while the program sequence () of the automation application () is being executed.
