Knit design apparatus and knit design method |
(57) Data regarding the design of a knit product input by an operator is converted into
design data of the knit product, and the arrangement and the connection of stitches
are displayed on a color monitor (6). If an instruction to insert or delete a wale
or course of stitches is input, whether or not functional data is included in the
input range is detected, and an insert or delete position is shifted so as not to
include functional data if functional data is included in the input range.
