Abstract
Abstract The method of the invention includes displaying on a display screen (CRT), a profile (A) and one or more figure elements (Sn, St, Ck) for specifying a shape added to the profile (A), designating a predetermined figure element (circular arc C 1 ') of the profile (A) and designating the figure elements (Sn, St, Ck), which constitute the added shape, in order along a definition direction of the profile (A), and generating a new profile by connecting the added shape to the designated figure element (the circular arc C 1 ') of the profile (A), and displaying the new profile on the display screen (CRT).

Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A profile revising method for revising a first profile comprising original figure elements specified by figure definition statements based on an automatic programming language, including points, straight lines and circles, connected in a specified direction in order in accordance with a designated sequence comprising the steps of: displaying, on a display screen, the first profile and one or more new figure elements for constituting an additional shape to said first profile; designating selected ones of the original figure elements to be revised in said first profile, and designating the new figure elements, which constitute said additional shape, in order along the specified direction of the first profile; generating a new second profile by connecting said additional shape to the designated selected ones of the original figure elements of said first profile; displaying said new second profile on the display screen; and using the second part program to machine a workpiece.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
