1. An offline teaching device comprising:
a three-dimensional sensor configured to detect a three-dimensional shape of an object present within a detection range and a position of the object in a three-dimensional space;
a display;
an input unit configured to receive an input from a user;
a storage storing a program and measurement procedure information; and
a processor configured to perform the program stored in the storage, the program causing the processor to perform:
displaying, in a visible manner on the display, an interface screen including the three-dimensional shape of the object and a measurement content, wherein the measurement content includes at least one selected from a group consisting of a roundness, a squareness and a cylindricity of the three-dimensional shape of the object;
receiving, via the input unit, the input from the user on the interface screen displayed on the display to specify a plurality of measurement information each including each of a plurality of measurement points in the three-dimensional shape of the object and the measurement content at the each of the plurality of measurement points;
generating measurement procedure information including each of the specified plurality of measurement information for the each of the plurality of measurement points sequentially received via the interface screen from the user and information indicating input order for the plurality of measurement information for the each of the plurality of measurement points; and
writing the measurement procedure information in the storage together with the three-dimensional shape of the object,
wherein the measurement procedure information causes a measuring device to measure at least one selected from the group consisting of the roundness, the squareness and the cylindricity of the three-dimensional shape of the object as the measurement content at the each of the plurality of measurement points of a target object, specified through the interface screen.
