6.6 The Integration of KBS and CAD Tools
The integration of KBS into CAD is not yet available;however, the concept of a CAD system that has the knowledge structures of KBS systems has implications of greatly streamlining the design process. The development of such systems, however,are limited by the tools available. Nonetheless, the capability exists to develop systems in limited, welldefined design areas. A combined system could suggest components or parts of components such as flanges, ribs, and so on during the layout process based on analysis of the current design and the expertise in the knowledge base.

6.6 KBS工具与CAD工具的整合
KBS与CAD目前为止还没能实现整合；但是一个拥有KBS系统的知识架构的CAD系统将会使设计过程具备极大的流畅性。然而这种系统的开发受制于可以应用的各种工具。不仅如此，在有限的、定义明确（成熟）的设计领域内开发新系统需要能力。一个整合的系统能够支持组件或组件的一部分（部件）如铰链、筋板等在设计规划的过程中能够基于知识库里的专家知识和即时设计分析理念进行设计。
