Abstract
A process and an apparatus for automatically preparing a CAD design procedure document in which the CAD design procedure document is prepared by automatically converting CAD data into the design procedure document written in a natural language by means of a converter. The design procedure document includes elements which are written in a natural language, each element including a name of group to which the element belongs and its preparing step, and specific elements of the design procedure document are extracted. The extracted elements are extracted and rearranged together with the groups to which the elements belong and their preparing steps. The elements are displayed together with the groups and their preparing steps.
