Therefore, in order to output a design drawing of a workpiece created using NC data, when the keyboard 13 or tablet device 15 is operated to enter the multi-view setting mode, the processor 10 starts the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

First, a menu for setting multiple views is displayed on the screen of the CRT 14 (step SL). In this example, as shown in FIG. 4, the menu shows a left side view, a right side view, a rear view, and a front view on the left and right, centering on the top view, and a rear view and a front view on the top and bottom, in accordance with the arrangement of drawings in the drafting method. A menu M1 of 3 rows and 3 columns is used to display items, and a menu M2 of 3 rows and 3 columns is used to display items showing left side view, right side view, top view, and bottom view on the left and right with the front view as the center. , these menus Ml
, M2, and the area labeled roKJ (hereinafter referred to as OK area) that is clicked when setting the output drawing format.
An area labeled "Cancel" (hereinafter referred to as "cancel area") that is clicked when canceling settings is also displayed.

The output drawing can be selected by operating the four arrow keys indicating the up, down, left, and right directions provided on the keyboard, or by operating the tablet cursor 15c of the tablet device 15 to select the cursor that moves on the screen of the CRT 14. It has become.

In the menus Ml and M2 arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns, centering on the top view item and the front view item, respectively, operate the tablet cursor 15c to select the area of the item in each row and column (the upper left of menus M1 and M2 in FIG. 4). If you select this area by positioning the cursor (blank area in the corner) and clicking on it, you will see three sections of items included in the 1st and 3rd rows and the 1st and 3rd columns (top view and back view in menu M1).

If you select the left side view (front view, top view, left side view in menu M2) and select the area of the item in one row and two columns (back view in menu M1, top view in menu M2), the item in three columns will appear. Select the three areas of items in the first and third rows (top view and back view in menu M1, front view and top view in menu M2), and select the area of items in the first row and second column (menu Ml.

If you select the blank area in the upper right corner of Menu M2), you will be able to select the

Figures are a front view and a top view.

right side view) and select the items in two rows and one column (menu Ml,
If you select the area (left side view in M2), three sections (top view, left side view in menu M1, front view, left side view in menu M2) of items in the first and third rows of the three rows of items will be selected. Select the item in two rows and two columns (menu M
1 top view, menu M2 front view), one drawing (top view or front view) of the item in 2 rows and 2 columns
When you select the area of the items in the 2nd row and 3rd column (menu Ml, right side view of M2), the area of the 3rd column and 3rd column of the 3 rows of items (in menu M1, the top view, Right side view, front view, right side view in menu M2) and select the area of 3 rows and 1 column of items (blank area in the lower left corner of menu M1, M2), 3 rows, 3 rows and,
Select three sections of items included in the first and third columns (top view, left side view, and front view in menu M1, front view, left side view, and bottom view in menu M2), and select the items in the third row and second column. (Front view of menu M1, bottom view of menu M2)
When you select the area, three rows of the three columns of items, three sections of the three rows of items (top view, front view,
In Menu 2, select the item area (front view, bottom view) and select the area of 3 rows and 3 columns (blank area in the lower right corner of menus M1 and M2). The three sections of the items included in the column (top view, front view, right side view in menu M1, front view in menu M2,
bottom view, right side view). Then, the area of the selected drawing item is displayed with shading.

Also, when selecting with the arrow keys, each time the right arrow key is pressed, the shading moves one position to the right according to the drawing selection criteria described above, and the output drawing format is selected. . For example, if the right arrow key is pressed while the top view, rear view, left side view, and upper left corner area of menu M1 are shaded as shown in FIG. This is done in the area of the top view and rear view items of M1, and the front view and rear view are selected. If the right arrow key is pressed further, the shading moves to the top view, back view, right side view and blank area in the upper right corner of menu M1, and the output view and its arrangement of the top view, back view, right side view. is selected. Furthermore, when the right arrow key is pressed, the screen moves to menu M2, where the front view, top view, left side view, and upper left corner area are shaded, and each figure on which the shaded area is selected is selected. In this state, when the right arrow key is pressed, shading is performed in the top view and front view areas, and the front view and top view are selected, and when the right arrow key is further pressed, the front view and top view are selected.

In the right side view, the blank area in the upper right corner is shaded, and the item in the shaded area is selected. Then, when the right arrow key is further pressed, the state shown in FIG. 4, that is, the top view, rear view, left side view, and blank area in the upper left corner of the menu M1 are shaded, and each figure is selected. In this way, each time the right arrow key is pressed, the hatching moves one step to the right, and the output drawings and the arrangement formats of the output drawings are selected cyclically.

When the left arrow key is pressed, the hatching moves in the opposite direction to the right arrow key in accordance with the above-mentioned rule, and each of the hatched figures is selected.

Also, in the state shown in Figure 4, if the down arrow key is pressed, shading will be done in the top view and left side view areas, and if the down arrow key is further pressed, the shading will be done down. The top view, left side view, front view, and blank area in the lower left corner are shaded. When the downward arrow key is further pressed, the state returns to the state shown in FIG. 4. Also, when the up arrow key is pressed, the shading moves in the opposite direction to when the down arrow key is pressed.

In this way, the shading can be moved left and right using the left and right arrow keys, and up and down using the up and down arrow keys.
It is possible to select any area of 1 and M2. Then, each drawing in the shaded area is selected, and the layout of the output drawing is the same as the layout of the items in menus M1 and M2.

Returning to FIG. 1, the menu Ml mentioned above in step S1,
M2 etc. are displayed, and the processor 10 then proceeds to step S to store the memory code of the register R2, which stores the currently set output multi-view setting code, into the register R1.
2) Rewrite the shaded area based on the code stored in this register R1- (step S3). Then, it is repeatedly determined whether a click signal has been received from the tablet cursor 15c, an arrow key has been turned on, a cancel signal has been received, or a setting command signal has been received (step S4.S
5. S6, 37). Operator presses tablet cursor 1
5c, move the cursor on the screen of the CRT 1.4, position the cursor in the area corresponding to the drawing to be set and its arrangement, and click (step S4).
), processor "0 reads the coordinate position of the cursor, writes a code corresponding to the position to register R1- (step S9), returns to step S3, and rewrites the shaded area based on the code stored in register R1. conduct. Then, the processes from step 84 to step S7 are repeatedly executed. In this manner, each time there is a click signal, the coordinate position of the cursor is read, a code corresponding to the coordinate position is written in the register R1, and the shading is rewritten in the menu M19M2 based on the stored code in the register R1.

On the other hand, when the operator presses an arrow key, the processor 10 detects this (step S5) and changes the code in the register R1 according to the type of arrow key pressed (step 510). Note that this code change process uses the same process as the conventional process, and the details will be omitted.

Then, the process returns to step S3, and shading is performed based on the code stored in the register R1, and the processes from step 84 to step S7 are repeated.

In this way, by operating the tablet cursor 15c, the CRT
The drawing and its arrangement are selected by specifying the position with the cursor on the screen 14 or by operating the left, right, up, and down arrow keys.

Further, if the drawing shown in the shaded area and its arrangement are not what the operator desires and he wants to return to the previously set one, the operator operates the tablet cursor 15c to move the cursor to the area where the cancel button is displayed. Enter a cancel command by positioning and clicking or pressing the cancel key on the keyboard.

The processor 10 detects this cancel command (step S6), and stores in the register R1 the code that was previously set to be stored in the register R2 (step 511).
Return to step S3. This returns the shading to its original state.

In addition, if the drawing indicated by the shaded area and its arrangement are what the operator desires, the operator
A setting command is input by operating the tablet cursor 15c and clicking the OK region cursor, or by pressing the return key on the keyboard 13 (step 87).

When the setting command is input, the processor 10 stores the code to be stored in the register R1 in the register R2 (step S8), and ends the multi-view setting process.

Then, when outputting a drawing, the set drawing is output in the set layout based on the code stored in this register R2. In other words, the drawing represented by the shaded item at the time of setting is output as the item is arranged.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the processing executed by the processor 10 of the automatic programming device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In this second embodiment, the menu displayed on the screen of the CRT 15 is slightly different.

It is the same that items representing each figure are displayed in a 3-row, 3-column menu in accordance with the display of drawings in the drafting method, centering on items representing top views or front views, but as shown in Figure 5, each Along with the item in the figure, the direction of the coordinate axes in the drawing corresponding to the item is also displayed. The nine areas formed by three rows and three columns are made to correspond to the arrangement of ten keys on the keyboard 13, and the number of ten keys corresponding to each area is displayed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, only one menu M3 is displayed, centering on items in the top view, or menu M4 is centering in items in the front view, and pressing the key rFJ on the keyboard 13 By pressing the key rTJ, a menu M4 centered on the items in the front view shown in FIG. 5(b) is displayed, and by pressing the key rTJ, a menu M3 centered on the items in the top view shown in FIG. 5(a) is displayed. It looks like this. Note that the OK area display and the cancel area display are the same as in the first embodiment.

In this second embodiment, when entering the multiview drawing setting mode, the processor 10 first sets the value of the flag B and the code to be stored in the register R2, representing the currently set output drawing format, to the flag A register R1. Store it in (
Step 521).

Then, change the menu corresponding to the value stored in flag A to C.
It is displayed on the screen of TR 14 (step 522). If flag A is set to 1, the menu M4 shown in FIG. 5(b) centered on the front view is displayed, and if flag 8 is set to 0, the menu shown in FIG. 5(a) centered on the top view is displayed. Display M3.

Next, the processor 10 surrounds the item indicating the drawing to be output and its arrangement with a thick line frame based on the code stored in the register R1 (step 523).

In this example, the nine areas of the 3 rows and 3 columns of menus are made to correspond to the numeric keypad arrangement, and the number of numeric keys corresponding to each area is displayed, so the code stored in register R1 is for the numeric keypad. It is a number from 1 to 9. The state shown in FIG. 5(a) shows a case where the flag A is O, the menu M3 at the center of the top view is selected, and the code of the register R1 is 4.

Next, the processor 10 repeatedly executes the process of determining whether the numeric keypad is on, whether the key rFJ is on, whether "T" is on, whether there is a cancel command, or whether there is a setting command (steps 824 to 528). is turned on (
Step 524), the number of pressed numeric keys is stored in register R1. Step 530), step 823
Return to

As a result, depending on the operation of the numeric keypad, the menu M3゜M4
The frame displayed above will change.

In this embodiment, the output drawing and its drawing arrangement format are selected in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the number "7" is used.
” is pressed, menu M3. Number 4 out of 9 areas in 3 rows and 3 columns of M4. 5. 7. 8
The area indicated by is surrounded by a thick line frame, and when the numeric keypad with the number ``8'' is selected, the areas 5 and 8 of the menu are surrounded,
Similarly, if "9" is selected, 5.6, 8.9 on the menu
area is enclosed. Also, when "4" is selected, areas 4 and 5 of the menu are selected, when "5" is selected, area 5 of the menu is selected, and when "6" is selected, areas 5 and 6 of the menu are selected. , When "1" is selected, 1. of the menu is selected. 2.
4. If area 5 is selected, 2 of the menu will be displayed.
．． 5 area is 2.3 in the menu when “3” is selected.
, 5.6 is enclosed. Then, the drawing and the layout of the drawing selected by register R1 and flag A are stored.

On the other hand, when the operator presses the key rFJ on the keyboard 13, the processor 10 detects this (step 52
5) Set flag A to 1 (step 531) and return to step S22. As a result, the display changes to menu M4 (menu centered on the front view) when flag A is 1. Further, in step S23, the selected drawing area is displayed for the newly displayed menu M4 based on the code stored in the register R1. For example, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the menu M3 in the center of the top view is CRTI4
is displayed on the screen, if the key 1F is pressed, the menu M4 centered on the front view will appear as shown in Figure 5(b).
will be displayed. Further, when the key ITJ is pressed in the state shown in FIG. 5(b) (steps S2, 6),
Flag A is set to O (step 532), and menu M3 is displayed (step 522).

As described above, menu M3. is displayed by operating keys rFJ and ITJ. Select M4 (step S25, 526) change the set value of flag A (step S31, 532), change the menu to be displayed, and operate the numeric keypad (step 524) to set register R1 to the value corresponding to the operated key. A code is stored (step 530) and the area enclosed by the frame is changed based on this code. That is, the selected drawing and its arrangement are displayed.

Furthermore, when the operator wishes to cancel the drawing and arrangement selected as described above and return to the previously set drawing and its arrangement, the operator operates the cancel key on the keyboard 13 or operates the tablet cursor 15c. Then, the cursor on the screen of the CRTI 4 is positioned in the cancel display area, and a cancel command is input by clicking. The processor 10 detects this in step 527), stores the state of flag B in flag A, stores the code to be stored in register R2 in register R1 (step 533), and returns to step S22.

As a result, the initial menu display and the setting state of the drawing and its arrangement are displayed surrounded by a frame.

Then, while the output drawing format desired by the operator is selected and displayed, the operator operates the return key on the keyboard 1-3 or operates the tablet cursor 15c to move the cursor on the screen of the CRTI-4 to the OK area. By inputting a setting command by clicking on the area position, the processor 10 detects it (step 528), stores the state of flag A at that time in flag B, and stores the code to be stored in register R1 in the register. At step 529), setting of the format of the output drawing is completed.

Then, when outputting the drawing to the plotter 18 or the like, based on the contents stored in this flag B register R2, the drawing corresponding to the item shown within the thick line frame that was displayed on the screen of the CRT 14 at the time of inputting the setting command is It will be output and drawn in the same layout as that item.

Above 1. In the second embodiment, the keyboard or the tablet cursor of a tablet device was used as the position pointing device for specifying the area for selecting the output format of the drawing from the displayed menu, but other position pointing devices such as a mouse may also be used. may be used. Further, although the output format of the selected drawing is displayed on the menu by shading or surrounding it with a frame, other display methods may be used.

For example, the selected item or area may be displayed in a different color from other items or areas, or the selected item may be displayed in reverse video.

Furthermore, by combining the first embodiment and the second embodiment, it is possible to select an area on the menu by using the arrow keys or a position pointing device such as a tablet, and by making the menu area correspond to the numeric keypad. It may also be possible to specify it by inputting .

In addition, in the above embodiment, an example was described in which the object is represented by five drawings, but for example, when only three views such as a front view, a top view, and a right side view are displayed, the menu is displayed in two lines. Two rows is fine.
