METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING NUMERICAL CONTROL DATA

摘要

A method and apparatus for creating numerical control data by entering coordinates which specify points on a drawing DR placed on a tablet 13a. The method includes entering coordinate values of points on the drawing DR by designating the points, and entering information for specifying the category of numerical control data to be specified. Numerical control data is created using the classification information and the coordinates of the points, The data can be created simply in a short period of time without requiring special skills.
