Abstract
A method of and an apparatus for determining a core-less machining shape, in which an attribute of core-less machining or contour machining is automatically designated to a machining shape created in advance, and a storage medium storing a core-less machining shape determining program. Programs for judging a size of a machining shape based on horizontal and vertical maximum dimensions, a diameter or a radius of a circle, a peripheral length, a width and an area are stored in an automatic programming device in advance. Programs to be executed are selected from the stored programs and a way of logical operation on results of judgment by the selected programs is designated. The selected programs are executed based on data of a machining shape and reference values for judgment, and the selected logical operation is performed on the results of the judgment by the selected programs to determine the size of the machining shape, and an attribute of the core-less machining or the contour machining is automatically designated to the machining shape.
