Abstract

A method for editing a machining program includes obtaining tool information specifying a tool mountable on a machine tool. A program editing window and at least one assistance window are displayed. The program editing window shows a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool. Each of the assistance window selectively shows the tool information and a control method. The tool is to be controlled according to the control method. In the program code, an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code is specified. Selected information is selected from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window. A command corresponding to the selected information is inserted into the program code at the insertion position.
