2123138 9309507 PCTABS00022 A video image of the article (10) to be produced is displayed on a computer. A first geometric shape (12) is developed to enclose fully the video image of the article (10). The first geometric shape (12) provides a video image of a workpiece of machinable stock and the approximate unscaled dimensions of the workpiece. A selection is made from a library (28) of known machine tool tables to select the exact type of machine tool table (30) to be used to produce the article. The video image of the table (30) is positioned visually underneath each of the video image of the article and first geometric shape. The video representation of the machine tool table (30) includes a frame of reference origin (38) which corresponds to the actual machine tool table zero reference. The library (28) also includes the various locating, fastening and holding devices (32, 34, 36) used with each type of machine tool table from which symbols representing these devices can be selected, displayed and positioned on the terminal in their working relationship with respect to the displayed image of the workpiece. The input device is again used to form a second geometric shape fully enclosing the video image of the article (10), the first geometric shape and any displayed symbol, and further being itself enclosed by the video representation of the table (30). The second geometric shape provides a video image of a fixture subplate (34), its approximate dimensions and its approximate location on the machine tool table.
