1. A method for recording, as representations of objects, geometries which are located using a coordinate system, comprising the steps of:

  • a. designating the location with respect to said coordinate system of at least one of said geometries;

    b. recording, in an instruction file a record associated with each said at least one geometry for which a location has been designated, each record including the location with respect to said coordinate system of said at least one geometry;

    c. with respect to at least one other geometry, designating as associated a previously designated geometry for which a record has been recorded, said previously designated geometry being a locater geometry;

    d. designating the location of each said other geometry relative to said associated locater geometry, said other geometry being a relative geometry; and

    e. recording in said instruction file a record associated with each said relative geometry, said record including the location of said relative geometry relative to said associated locater geometry.
