Abstract
A part program (measurement procedure) file 61 including definition information that defines the shape of a measurement object and measurement procedure information that defines a measurement procedure is read by a part program editing/executing section 62. The part program file 61 is used to control and edit a measuring apparatus. A solid modeler 65 generates solid models of the measurement object and a probe in a virtual space with the definition information and the measurement procedure information included in the part program file 61. The solid models are displayed on a displaying section 66. A measurement result can be displayed in the virtual space. With the measured result, a solid model can be generated. With the generated solid model, a part program file 61 is generated.
