Abstract
A conversational-type programming apparatus according to the invention originates an NC tape for a numerically controlled (NC) machine tool or the like. In a case where a plurality of machining operations are defined for one region of a blank, a color corresponding to a type of machining designated by the latest machining step is displayed on a screen. Therefore, even when a machining operation for the same blank is defined for a plurality of regions of the blank, it is possible to readily distinguish the machining type designated for each region based on the displayed colors of the regions.
