INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and highly operably input and add a plain attribute to data created by a CAD device. SOLUTION: The CAD program is executed on a CPU (step S301). A shape model is created and displayed on a display device as an image (step S302). An attribute disposition plane is created in a three-dimensional space creating the shape model (step S303). A projection shape of the shape model is created on the attribute disposition plane (step S304). Attribute information is added to the shape model (step S305) and linked to the attribute disposition plane (step S306). A display control is performed by specifying the attribute disposition plane (step S307). When creating the attribute disposition plane, the position of a viewpoint, a sight line direction, and a magnification of the attribute disposition plane are set (step S307). The CAD attribute model is stored in an external storage device (step S308). COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
