DESIGN SUPPORT DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a design support device improving operability for generating a necking graphic form element. SOLUTION: In this design support device, when a designation for generating a necking graphic form with parameters for specifying a reference graphic form element and specifying the thickness of a step is given, a control part 11 generates a necking graphic form element using the parameters according to a reference graphic form element, holds the parameters and the designation for generating the back cut graphic form element as historical data, and again performs the processing for generating the necking graphic form element according to the historical data when correction for the reference graphic form element is made to thereby adjust the necking graphic form element.
