Abstract
An NC program drawing method for an interactive numerical control device is provided, in which an NC program is represented by a composite drawing composed of a solid drawing (1a, 1b, 1c) and a wire frame drawing (1d, 1e), whereby the drawing of machining profiles and tool paths, etc., can be processed in a short time and the machining profiles can be easily recognized, thus facilitating the creation of machining programs. According to a preferred mode of carrying out the invention, simple surfaces and the like are drawn by the solid drawing method (1a, 1b, 1c), and complicated profiles (1d, 1e) and tool paths, etc., are drawn by the wire frame drawing method.
