OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A drawing device that draws on a target object using a pen fixed to a cartridge, the drawing device comprising:
a mover configured to move the cartridge in a first direction;
a conveyer configured to convey the target object in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
a processor configured to control the mover and the conveyer to cause the cartridge and the target object to move relative to each other, and to draw an object on the target object using the pen; and
a memory configured to store, for each classification of each of a plurality of the objects, drawing data representing control conditions of the mover and the conveyer for drawing the object, and angle data representing a fixed angle of the pen with respect to the cartridge when drawing the object, the fixed angle being an angle in a rotation direction with a direction in which an axis line of the pen fixed to the cartridge extends as a rotation axis, and the memory being configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes comprising:
receiving at least one of the classifications of the plurality of objects;
reading out and acquiring, from the memory, the drawing data and the angle data corresponding to the received at least one classification;
displaying, on a display, fixed angle information corresponding to the fixed angle represented by the acquired angle data;
controlling the mover and the conveyer on the basis of the acquired drawing data; and
drawing the object of the received classification on the target object.
