Parts list system which generates and manages a parts list simply and effectively
First Claim
1. A parts list system comprising:
- a CAD section which generates a CAD figure of a part included in an apparatus based on design reference data, and extracts a part number of said part, configuration part numbers and attribute data from said CAD figure, wherein said design reference data is references for designing said apparatus, said configuration part numbers are part numbers of configuration parts of said part, and said attribute data indicate properties of said part and said configuration parts; and
a parts list section which generates a parts list of said apparatus based on said part number, said configuration part numbers and said attribute data extracted from said CAD figure, and said design reference data, wherein said parts list relates said part number, said configuration part numbers and part data, said part data indicate properties of said part and said configuration part and include said attribute data;
wherein said CAD section modifies said CAD figure based on a modification command, and extracts said part number, said configuration part numbers and said attribute data from the modified CAD figure, said modification command indicates a command for modifying design of said part and is inputted through a network when said parts list section discloses said parts list on said network,wherein said parts list section modifies said parts list, based on said part number, said configuration part numbers and said attribute data extracted from said modified CAD figure, andwherein said parts list section permits part modification and storage of commentary by persons other than an original designer.

Abstract
A parts list system includes a CAD section and a parts list section. The CAD section generates a CAD figure of a part included in an apparatus based on design reference data, and extracts a part number of the part, configuration part numbers of configuration parts of the part and attribute data from the CAD figure. Here, the design reference data is reference for design. The attribute data indicate properties of the part and the configuration parts. The parts list section generates the parts list based on the part number, the configuration part numbers and the attribute data from the CAD figure and the design reference data. Here, the parts list relates the part number, the configuration part numbers and part data. The part data indicate properties of the part and the configuration part. Then, the CAD section modifies the CAD figure based on a modification command showing a modified design, and extracts the part number, the configuration part numbers and the attribute data from the modified CAD figure. The parts list section modifies the parts list, based on the part number, the configuration part numbers and the attribute data from the modified CAD figure.
