Abstract. The possibility of using graphic methods at the stage of analysis and synthesis of optical systems based on a rational combination of basic optical elements: aplanatic lenses, mirrors and concentric systems is considered. The harmonious system of optical schemes composition for various purposes, proposed by M. M. Rusinov, is supplemented using graphic editors. Modern graphic editors, e.g. AUTOCAD, VISIO, KOMPAS, allow to make constructions visually and with high accuracy and as a result to minimize volume of calculations at creation of new optical system. Computational work is reduced to the verification calculation and, if necessary, to a small revision of the system, which may well be performed in a graphical editor.

Keywords: aplanatic points of a surface, basic power components, the modes of bindings (tangential to a circle), required accuracy of optical design
