The control device is provided with a storage means. When an IC card storing a processing program (processing data file) of all processing figures to be cut from the workpiece is inserted into the control apparatus, the storage means becomes an IC. The list of each processed figure stored in the card is read and stored. At the same time, a list of the processed figures stored in the storage means is displayed on the display screen 3. In this state, the selection button 2A is pressed to select a specific processed figure from the list. ing. Then, when a specific processing figure is selected from the list, a processing program (processing data file) relating to the processing figure is read from the IC card by the storage means and stored.
The processed figure is displayed on the display screen. In the processed figure 4 read out on the display screen 3, the line segments 4a, 4b, 4c constituting the processed figure 4 are displayed in different colors according to the difference in the processing conditions. For example, in the processed figure 4 having a triangular shape shown in FIG. 1, each line segment 4a, 4b, 4c is displayed as a solid line, and the vertical line segment 4a is displayed in red. The direction line segment 4b is displayed in white, and furthermore, both line segments 4b are displayed.
The oblique line segment 4c connecting a and 4b is displayed in green. By operating other necessary operation buttons provided on the display means 1, the processed figure 4 read out on the display screen 3 can be enlarged or reduced, and can be moved to a required position on the display screen 3. Can be moved. The above configuration is not different from the conventionally known configuration. Thus, in the present embodiment, each line segment 4a, 4b, 4c in the processed figure 4 displayed on the display screen 3 is displayed on the display screen 3.
The sample (G00 to T06) of all line types corresponding to different machining conditions is displayed at the position of the right end on the display screen 3 above. I have to. As can be understood from FIG. 1, the line types as the sample line segments are a line segment formed by a solid line and a line segment formed by a broken line, and furthermore, a solid line or a broken line, and colors such as red, green, and white. Means different line segments. In the present embodiment, the processing conditions of each line segment 4a, 4b, 4c in the processing figure 4 can be changed on the display screen 3. That is, when it is desired to change the processing conditions of the line segment 4a in the processed figure 4 displayed on the display screen 3 of the display means 1, first,
When the move button 2B is pressed, a cursor 5 indicated by an imaginary circle is displayed on the screen. The cursor 5 can be moved to a required position on the display screen 3 by a cursor key (not shown). Here, of the line segments 4a, 4b, and 4c of the processed figure 4 displayed on the display screen 3, the line segment 4b
In order to change the processing conditions, the cursor 5 is first moved to a position where it overlaps the line segment 4b, and then the selection button 2A is pressed. Thus, the line segment 4b whose processing condition is to be changed can be selected on the display screen 3. Next, a line segment of a specific line type is selected from the line types displayed on the right side of the display screen 3 as a sample. For example, when it is desired to change the line segment 4b currently displayed in white to the processing condition displayed in a green line segment, a green line segment (for example, T04) in the line type displayed using the cursor 5 as a sample is described above. ), And then press the line type change button 2G. Then, the line segment 4b of the processed figure 4 is
The color is changed from white to green, and the processing condition of the line segment 4b is changed to the processing condition corresponding to the green line segment. At the same time, the processing condition of the line segment 4b of the processing graphic 4 is stored in a storage unit (not shown) as a new processing condition corresponding to green.
As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is desired to change the processing conditions of the line segments 4a, 4b, and 4c constituting the processed figure 4 read out on the display screen 3, only the display screen 3 needs to be changed. Can be processed. Therefore, when the machining conditions of the line segments 4a, 4b, 4c constituting the machining figure 4 are to be changed, compared with the conventional method in which the machining program itself is changed and stored in the storage means, The work of changing the processing conditions of 4a, 4b, 4c becomes extremely easy. Therefore, the time required to determine the processing conditions for each of the line segments 4a, 4b, 4c constituting the processed figure 4 can be greatly reduced. In the above embodiment, first, the line segment 4 in the processed figure 4 on the display screen 3
