JPS60191304A - Automatic producing or cutting system for pattern equal or similar to basic pattern - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the input time for information on a basic pattern and to enable a beginner to operate an automatic drafting/cutting machine, by attaining the automatic production or cutting of a pattern which is equal or similar to the basic pattern by means of said drafting/cutting machine. CONSTITUTION:An original pattern 1 containing many necessary coordinate points a1, a2, a3... is displayed on a display 10 connected to a computer with a proper means. While a basic pattern 2 which is similar to the pattern 1 is set to an X-Y coordinate reader 11. The pattern 2 contains many necessary coordinate points b1, b2, b3.... An automatic drafting/cutting machine 13 is set in accordance with the display 10 and driven according to the information of a memory medium 12. When an indication signal appears at either one of points a1, a2, a3..., a cursor 14 of the reader 11 is set at a coordinate point on the pattern 2 corresponding to the coordinates of said indication signal. Then a coordinate input button is operated to supply the information on the pattern 2 in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a method for automatically creating or cutting figures that are the same as or similar to basic figures.

Conventionally, in this type of device, the cursor fcl of the X-Y coordinate reading device fbl is aligned with each coordinate point on the basic figure fal according to the procedure, and the keyboard fdl provided on the reading device is used at each coordinate point. Press the key to input the required command, and press the read button tel to transfer the command and coordinate values to tape or disk (fl
and based on that information, an automatic drafting cutting machine (g
A figure that is the same as or similar to a basic figure is automatically created, cut, or cut by driving the controller.

However, to input a command, you need to use the command terminology, such as ■Grading■Pen writing,■Cutting,
■It was difficult for an amateur to memorize the speed, the properties of the zero point, etc., and input commands for each coordinate point.

This proposal was developed with attention to this point, and when comparing a basic figure similar to the original figure based on it, the coordinate values of the coordinate points for composing the figure are different, but the coordinate values at the coordinate points The commands were developed with a focus on the sameness, and the commands are By aligning the cursor on the coordinate reading device and pressing the coordinate input button, the coordinate values of that point are memorized in advance, added to a certain command, and stored on a storage medium such as a tape or disk.
This involves driving an automatic drafting and cutting machine based on the stored information.

The present invention will be described below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

Furthermore, ■ is a cursor of the X-Y coordinate reading device +111, and (15) is a coordinate input capotain.

Therefore, the coordinate points (a,) , (a2) , (a,) composing the prototype figure displayed on the display (10)

If there is an instruction signal such as a color being attached or a color flashing, or a sound being generated in response, the coordinate points (bl), (b2), (bJ) on the basic figure that are opposite to that coordinate point are
. . . For example, place the cursor (14j) of the X-Y coordinate reader (fl) on the coordinate point (bυ) and press the coordinate entry button (151). By tracing the coordinates on the basic figure according to the coordinate points, the information for creating the figure is stored on the tape or disk.Then, if you drive the automatic drafting and cutting machine based on the information on this tape or disk, the basic Same as figure
Or similar shapes can be automatically created or cut.

As described in detail above, the present invention is to follow the indicated coordinate point on the original figure displayed on the display, place the cursor of the X-Y coordinate reading device on the coordinate point on the basic figure opposite to it, and press the coordinate entry capo. For example, figure creation information is automatically stored in a storage medium such as a tape or disk, and based on that information, an automatic drafting and cutting machine can automatically create or cut figures that are the same as or similar to the basic figure. Therefore, the work time for inputting information on basic figures can be reduced to 115 times or less compared to the conventional method, and even an amateur can easily operate the system.
