Abstract:
1. A sewing data creation apparatus for creating sewing data used for sewing by a sewing machine, the apparatus comprising: a profile line network creation device that continuously arranges unit areas with a predetermined shape in a sewing area to create a profile line network, the profile line network being an aggregate of profile lines of the arranged unit areas, the profile line network providing a basis for creating the stitch path; a starting point-and-ending point determination device that determines a starting point and an ending point of the stitch path from a plurality of points on the profile line network; a path creation device that creates the stitch path by connecting the starting point and the ending point on the profile line network without intersecting; a movement determination device that determines whether a partial path may be moved in such a manner as to be routed longer on the profile line of at least one unit area where the partial path is disposed, the partial path being a part of the stitch path created by the stitch path creation device and continuously disposed on the profile line of at least one of the unit areas; a movement device that moves the partial path determined to be moved by the movement determination device on the profile line of the at least one unit area; an adjustment device that adjusts the stitch path by causing the movement device to move the partial path until there is no more partial path determined to be moved by the movement determination device; and a sewing data creation device that creates the sewing data used to form stitches on the stitch path adjusted by the adjustment device.
