Method for inserting data into a program at a program position which corresponds to a displayed cursor position
First Claim
1. An automatic programming method for creating an NC program by inserting miscellaneous data into previously created path data including path blocks, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a path trajectory comprising a number of the path blocks on a display screen by using said path data;
positioning a cursor at a prescribed position on the path trajectory;
accepting entry of the miscellaneous data; and
inserting the miscellaneous data in front of or into the path data which corresponds to the path block designated by the cursor.

Abstract
An automatic programming method for creating an NC program by inserting miscellaneous data, such as M-function instruction data, feed rate instruction data, G-function instruction data and S-function instruction data, into previously created path data is disclosed. The method includes steps of displaying a path trajectory comprising a number of path blocks (b1, b2 . . . b16) on a display screen (105) by using the path data, positioning a cursor (CSR) at a prescribed position on the path trajectory, entering the miscellaneous data, and inserting the miscellaneous data into a block which is the same as that of the path data which correspond to a path block designated by the cursor, or at least at the front or rear of the block.
