Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily select a desired machining pattern by displaying the numbers of plural machining patterns, the names of the machining patterns, and working pattern figures, and generating numerical control data on the basis of a selected machining pattern and input data. CONSTITUTION:When a hole machining program is started, a CPU 1 displays a list of the machining patterns on a CRT display device 6. When an operator inputs the name of a machining pattern on a keyboard 8, the CPU 1 the number of input data of the selected machining pattern in a specific storage area 'data quantity' A assigned in a memory 2 and sets a storage area 'data counter' B to 0 on condition that the name of the machining pattern is correct. Further, the CPU 1 displays a data input figure and an input request message on the CRT display device 6. Further, the CPU 1 generates and outputs NC data (machining numerical control data) when the value of the data counter B becomes equal to the number A of data.
