1. A method for processing information extractable from an engineering drawing file ( 20 ) comprising: modeling in the engineering drawing file ( 20 ) at least two objects ( 302 , 304 ) in a predefined format by adding at least two entities ( 34 ) to the engineering drawing file ( 20 ) (S 501 ) and by adding support information ( 35 ) to the engineering drawing file ( 20 ) (S 502 ) to provide the extractable information (S 401 ); providing a program sequence ( 80 ) in an automation application ( 50 ) to establish a correlation of the extractable information (S 402 ); correlating the extractable information by executing the program sequence ( 80 ) (S 403 ); generating output data ( 12 , 15 , 64 ) based on the established correlation of the extractable information (S 404 ), wherein the correlation of the extractable information is established only while the program sequence ( 80 ) of the automation application ( 50 ) is executed.
