基于Visual Basic与AutoCAD的包装纸盒参数化设计系统开发

Development of Parametric Design System of Packaging Carton Based on Visual Basic and AutoCAD Platform

针对包装纸盒设计过程复杂及现有设计软件昂贵的现象,利用纸盒结构设计的一般方法和图形显示及输出的通用模式,基于Visual Basic和AutoCAD平台,开发了参数化纸盒设计系统。该系统形成了在纸盒结构设计系统中进行设计及在AutoCAD中进行结构显示的新模式,符合现代纸盒设计工作流程,最终达到克服现有纸盒设计过程及软件的不足,提高设计效率,降低设计成本的目的。

Aiming at the complicated design process and expensive design software of packaging carton, the parametric design system of packaging carton was developed based on the Visual Basic and AutoCAD platform according to the general method of structural design and the general form of the graphic display and output of packaging carton. The system formed a new de- sign pattern for packaging carton which can design the structural graphic in the packaging carton structural design system and display it in AutoCAD. Its workflow accorded with the modern one. The system can remedy the limitations of design process and softwares, improve design efficiency, and reduce the design cost.
