Abstract
A user manually operates the probe of a machine tool to move toward a workpiece. A movement history of the user's manual operation is recorded. The positional relationship between a workpiece and the probe is estimated based on the history of movement of the probe by the manual operation. The controller presents a candidate for the direction of the probe to be moved in the automatic measurement of the workpiece. The user inputs the movement direction of the probe with reference to content of the presentation.
