A method of configuring a dicing device, which dices along a cutting line of a workpieceaccording to a dicing step, is disclosed. Numerical input of a dicing order of the dicing deviceto dice a workpieceis time-consuming and prone to errors. The disclosed method comprises the step of depicting a graphical user interface, which includes a layoutof the workpiecethat further includes a plurality of cut lines relating to respective cutting lines along the workpiece. The disclosed method further comprises the step of graphically contacting a cut line from the layoutthrough a user-interface device, to allow selection of the cut line before the selected cut line is assigned to the dicing step of the dicing device. By providing the plurality of cut lines in the layoutthat are graphically contactable through the user-interface device, the method advantageously allows an easier process of configuring the dicing step of the dicing device. Also disclosed are a dicing apparatus for dicing a workpiece, as well as a computer-readable medium having a computer program for instructing a computer to perform the disclosed method.
