1. A computer including a data storage device including a computer usable medium having computer usable code means for managing the generation of vehicle electrical schematic diagrams, the computer usable code means having:
- computer readable code means for accessing an electronic graphics database of electrical schematics;
computer readable code means for accessing an electronic text database of data pertaining to the schematics;
computer readable code means responsive to the means for accessing for determining whether the electronic text database includes information associated with at least one connector symbol in at least one of the schematics; and
computer readable code means for publishing a schematic book including a change log, index pages, cover pages, and connector pages.

Abstract
A method for managing the production of vehicle electrical schematics includes entering into a computer manual changes to preexisting schematics and to textual connector pages that pertain to the schematics. A computer program then reconciles the textual pages with the schematics, combines them, and then outputs a new version of the schematics with connector pages.

7. A method for managing the team modification of vehicle electrical schematics, comprising the steps of:
-
manually editing vehicle schematics to generate edited schematics; electronically editing vehicle schematics to generate edited schematics, the step of manually editing vehicle schematics taking place in parallel with the step of electronically editing vehicle schematics; manually editing a database containing data associated with the schematics to generate an edited database; electronically editing the database containing data associated with the schematics to generate the edited database, the step of manually editing the database taking place in parallel with the step of electronically editing the database; establishing an intermediate electronic graphics database based on the edited schematics; establishing an intermediate electronic text database based on the edited database; and combining the electronic databases to generate a set of updated schematics electronically and in hard copy. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
