Two-dimensional layout is a procedure of placing, on a material sheet, two-dimensional shapes as many as possible. In this paper, an automatic layout system based on the AutoCAD software, in which a modified bitmap representation and the B-L-F algorithm are adopted, has been designed and implemented. The result shows the efficiency and the efficacy are satisfying. This system has been shown applicable not only for general manufacturing industries but also for the ship building where there are concave parts to be arranged.
