Work data generating method and device

Abstract

A data generating method is to easily and efficiently prepare sewing data or highly compatible sewing data, with which form data can easily be acquired and various sewing parameters can be considered. Form data 22b and 23 showing the form of a graphic are prepared from coordinate data extracted from graphic data 21 and on the basis of these form data and sewing parameters 24, sewing data for forming the stitches of a pattern corresponding to the graphic are prepared. Thus, the sewing parameters can be respectively set for each graphic and fine sewing data can be prepared. Further, by correspondently storing vector data 22a for describing the movement of a needle found from the graphic data and form data 22b showing the form of the graphic, the compatibility of sewing data prepared on the basis of both data forms can be improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sewing data generating method and device, and more specifically, to a sewing data generating method and device that generates desired data such as sewing data based on graphic data such as CAD data describing graphics. Background technique [0002] In the past, the sewing operation of the sewing device was controlled based on sewing data to form a predetermined pattern of stitches. When the sewing data is created, it is realized by manual operation, or by image processing of reading the sewing pattern, etc., to create the data. Therefore, in addition to the problems of complicated input methods and long data creation time, there are also problems The generated sewing data has various forms, and there is no problem of interchangeability. For this reason, conventionally, the format data of the sewing standard has been created using data in the CAD compatible format. [0003] At this time, the CAD compatible format data is to...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the sewing data in the form of vector data, it is difficult to finely specify the sewing pitch and other fine adjustments, and there is a need to convert sewing parameters such as measurement operation time and active tension conversion, and sewing information Disadvantages of staying in vector data

[0007] In addition, since the sewing standard format data is vector data showing the movement amount of one needle or the movement coordinate position, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to sewing machines that sew by shape data.
