Abstract
The method of the invention includes displaying a profile outline (POL) and a graphic cursor (CSR) on a display screen, adopting points, which are obtained on the display screen by successively positioning the graphic cursor and inputting its coordinates at starting points and end points of linear cutting or circular arc cutting, displaying a tool shape (TL) having a designated diameter at the inputted points, displaying a tool path (TLP) by successively connecting the inputted points by straight lines or circular arcs, and creating an NC program for moving a tool along the tool path to perform pocket machining.
