PURPOSE:To efficiently form tool passage data by setting up a flag indicating the symmetry of another target to be worked about a reference working type and forming the tool passage data of the target to be worked based on the flag. CONSTITUTION:Flags indicating the symmetry of tool passage data in respective trimming cut lines 32b-32d are set up in a flag register 50 based on the tool passage data of a trimming cut line 32a. For instance, an X mirror is a flag indicating whether the trimming cut line is symmetrical about the Y axis or not and sets up Y in case of symmetry or N in case of asymetry. When the tool passage data of the reference working type are converted based on the flag to form the tool passage data of another target to be worked, the tool passage data can be easily formed.
