Abstract
A numerically controlling apparatus is provided in which the automatic operation of a machine tool can be stopped at a desired block and yet at plurality of desired blocks without changing NC programs. In this numerically controlling apparatus, an operator performs a change into the 'EDIT' mode with a mode selecting switch on a keyboardand makes the cursor shifted up to the block, at which the automatic operation is desired to be stopped, with the keyboard, in the state where the NC program for setting stop points is displayed in the image. By pushing the 'SET STOP POINT' keyA provided in the key display area, the stop pointindicated with a “red circle” is set ahead of the block. When, in the course of the automatic operation of the machine tool, the action due to the command of the block, for which the stop pointsis set, has been completed, the automatic operation of the machine tool becomes stopped.
