Cutting data generator, cutting apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A cutting apparatus which cuts a desirable pattern out of a sheet, comprising:

• a moving unit configured to move a sheet and a cutting unit relative to each other;
• an editing unit configured to edit a plurality of figures into a desirable pattern;
• and
• a control device configured to:
• generate a composite figure by combining a plurality of figures by editing by the editing unit;
• determine whether an outline of one of the plurality of figures constituting the generated composite figure and an outline of another of the figures constituting the generated composite figure are superposed;
• and
• in case it is determined that the outline of the one figure and the outline of the another figure are superposed, generate cutting data including a first cut line which is an outline of the generated composite figure and a second cut line which is a superposed portion of the outline of the one figure and the outline of the another figure determined as being superposed, the first cut line being a line along which the pattern as represented by the composite figure is cut out of a sheet, the second cut line being a groove-shaped or perforated line formed on the pattern as represented by the composite figure;
• and
• control the moving unit so that the first and second cut lines are formed on the sheet, based on the cutting data.
