TOOL-PATH DISPLAYING METHOD AND TOOL-PATH DISPLAYING APPARATUS

摘要

When a workpiece shape projection display section graphically displays on a display screen a projected graphic (13) of a three-dimensional model of a workpiece having a shape processed through machining simulation by a workpiece shape processing section, a machined surface created in the shape processing step and a tool path (15) involved in the creation thereof are associated with an indication of whether or not the machined surface is displayed on the display screen. A tool path display determination section specifies a tool path corresponding to a machined surface of the workpiece shape displayed on the display screen as an object to be displayed (17), and a tool path projection display section graphically displays on the display screen a projected graphic (17) of the tool path specified as the object to be displayed, superimposed on the projected graphic (13) of the three-dimensional model of the workpiece.
