PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a key groove processing route generating device for a wire electric discharge machine, capable of inputting a key groove shape without being aware of a "measurement depth" or a "cutting depth" and generating a processing route.SOLUTION: A screen example 60 includes a workpiece image 61, an area for inputting factors (key groove width (b), key groove depth (t or l), hole diameter (d), angle (a), and center coordinates (x, y) for processing a key groove, a program creation button 62, and a screen closing button 63. An operator first inputs a "key groove depth (t or l)" or a "key groove width (b)" in order to specify a key groove shape. At this time, the operator may input either one of a "cutting depth t" and a "measurement depth l" in the"key groove depth (t or l). Then, the operator inputs a "hole diameter (d)", an "angle (a)", and "center coordinates (x, y)" in order to specify a key groove position. Lastly, the operator presses the program creation button 62.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】「測定深さ」「切込み深さ」を意識することなくキー溝形状を入力でき、加工経路を生成することが可能なワイヤ放電加工機用のキー溝加工用加工経路生成装置を提供する。【解決手段】画面例６０には、被加工物画像６１と、キー溝を加工するための諸元（キー溝幅（ｂ）、キー溝深さ（ｔまたはｌ）、穴径（ｄ）、角度（ａ）、中心座標（ｘ，ｙ））を入力する領域と、プログラム作成ボタン６２と、画面を閉じるとボタン６３を備える。作業者はまずキー溝形状を指定するために「キー溝深さ（ｔまたはｌ）」と「キー溝幅（ｂ）」を画面に入力する。このとき作業者は「キー溝深さ（ｔまたはｌ）」に、「切込み深さｔ」「測定深さｌ」のどちらを入力してもよい。次にキー溝位置を指定するために「穴径（ｄ）」と「角度（ａ）」と「中心座標（ｘ，ｙ）」を入力する。最後にプログラム作成ボタン６２を押す。【選択図】図６
