Abstract

Early computer aids for layout planning lacked a graphic capability and provided little means of user interaction. Although layout drawings are widely produced on CAD systems, there are no packages on CAD systems which combine their powerful graphics capabilities with analytical or algorithmic approaches used in layout planning.

This paper presents an approach to bridging this gap. A method of developing an Activity Relationship Diagram which provides much user interaction and exploits the CAD system’s graphics and database management facilities is presented.
