The Leonardo Suite S1000D compliant Technical Illustrations Ian Proudfoot Technical Director, Antea
The Leonardo Suite in context
Introduction The context: production of 2D technical illustrations within the standards of the Aerospace & Defense sectors S1000D and ATA ispec 2200 Projects expect illustrations that are fit-for-purpose and specifications compliant File validation against CGM profiles Visual inspection against style and format rules The concept: We insist on valid XML for text exchange, we must expect the same control for graphical content
Focus on CGM CGM: a standard for the storage and exchange of 2D vector graphics, raster graphics and text defined by ISO/IEC 8632 The CGM format is a very complex definition of a 2D vector drawing The core ISO CGM specification: includes everything you should ever need to define a drawing also includes many features and concepts that you will rarely need To make sense of the complexity, CGM Profiles limit or extend the core ISO CGM specification
What is a CGM profile? CGM Profiles may be layered to further refine the CGM definition S1000D Profile WebCGM Profile Edition 2.1 Model Profile Edition 2 ISO/IEC 8632-1 (1999-12-15) CGM
A CGM profile contains up to 170 requirement clauses for CGM content A further 21 requirements for CGM generators and viewers Simple example: What is a CGM profile? 6
What are illustration business rules? S1000D specification example Each specification demands profile compliance, but what about the style and format of the illustration? S1000D devotes 72 pages to the visual style while ATA ispec 2200 manages 165 pages 7
These presentation requirements are NOT handled by CGM profile compliance! We call these illustration business rules Definitions for: What are illustration business rules? Allowed Image areas ICN/GNBR format Line and edge weights Font sizes Hotspot definitions Colour definitions Symbol definitions Plus others
