Abstract

This paper developed a method of data transfer from engineering drawings in AutoCAD to the estimating database management system. Firstly, user-defined primitives with attributes, which are some precise information such as the physical dimensions, are described to assemble engineering buildings in terms of the principle of primitives assembling. Then, a CAD database was created while assembling a building, and the data was transfered to the CAD-based estimating system in civil engineering
