Abstract

The present invention relates to a digitizing control apparatus for outputting smooth data along an original tracing path by correcting digitized data. Coordinate data of a digitized model surface is calculated by adding coordinate data commanding a tracing path on a model surface to the measuring displacements at trace measuring points of a sensor. Coordinate data of the respective trace measuring points is corrected to digitized data approximated by a new coordinate point on a tracing plane containing the tracing path. Corrected coordinate data is output as smooth digitizing data along the original trace path.
