PURPOSE: To facilitate the data setting for forming a paste pattern of a prescribed shape. CONSTITUTION: For example, when four paste patterns P1-P4 applied and drawn on a substrate 22 have a pattern of have a, data (the coordinate position data of a basic pattern or vector data obtained by converting the segment data of the basic pattern) defining the basic pattern common to the paste patterns P1-P4 are set and pattern data for applying and drawing the paste patterns P1-P4 are generated from t he data. In such a case, the data of a single basic pattern can be made the data of the paste patterns P1-P4 because the patterns have the same shape. However, the coating condition, or the like, has to be corrected at need because the applying and drawing positions of the paste patterns P1-P4 on the substrate 23 are different. |
