Abstract
In an embroidery data processing apparatus, each time an editing action is executed with respect to an embroidery pattern to be edited, the name of the editing action is stored to an edit history memory. When a certain key is operated to effect retrospective and repetitive editing control, the names of the executed editing actions stored in the edit history memory are displayed on a CRT display and, if a mouse is operated so that one of the editing actions, for example, 'ENLARGE', that is three steps before the current state is directly designated by a marker M, and a 'RETURN' key is operated, embroidery data in the state before execution of the designated editing action can be obtained instantly. After new processing, such as addition or deletion of editing action, is effected, editing actions, such as 'LATERAL MIRROR' and '90% CLOCKWISE ROTATE', that follow the designated editing action are automatically re-executed.
