Machining configuration drawing apparatus and machining configuration drawing method

A machining configuration drawing apparatus comprising:

• drawing means for drawing a machining configuration and a present machining position;
• display area setting means for setting a display area in an overall drawing area;
• drawing region creation means for creating a drawing region drawn by the drawing means in the overall drawing area;
• and
• position monitor means for monitoring a positional displacement between a predetermined position and the present machining position in the drawing region,
• wherein said drawing region creation means creates a drawing region in which the present machining position coincides with the predetermined position based on a result of the monitoring of the position monitor means;
• and
• the drawing means draws the machining configuration and the present machining position of the created drawing region.

A machining configuration drawing method comprising:

• setting a display area in an overall drawing area;
• dividing the overall drawing area into a plurality of display areas based on the set display area;
• selecting a drawing region in which the present machining position exists, from a plurality of drawing regions;
• drawing a machining configuration and a present machining position of the selected drawing region;
• monitoring means for monitoring the present machining position to determine whether the present machining position remains within the selected drawing region;
• and
• selecting a new drawing region to be displayed when it is determined that the present machining position does not remain within the selected drawing region and drawing the machining configuration and the present machining position of the selected new drawing region.
