A Comparative Study on Extraction and Recognition Method of CAD Data from CAD Drawings

In recent years, various researchers have put in great effort to produce an efficient method of drawing extraction. This paper will focus on CAD data extraction from CAD drawing and study the method that has been proposed by previous researchers. CAD data extraction became a popular research since the early 80psilas. Nowadays, most applications in engineering field are already computerized. This includes the CAD application system, the systems used by engineers to design their products. As the use of computerized application became important tool in engineering field, the production field is also affected. This raises the issue of integrating CAD with manufacture systems. For that reason, most researchers try to create a system that can extract meaningful information from the CAD drawing and create a connection between CAD and manufacture system. For example in manufacturing field, manufacture system is a machine system where it is also known as CAM systems. However, there is no direct connection from CAD system to CAM system. Therefore, many approaches have been proposed by the previous researchers to solve the issues. Focus on this paper is to study the approaches and make comparison among it. Finding from this paper is suitable approach can be used for next stage in this research.
