A method of dressing a polishing member with a diamond dresser having diamond particles arranged on a surface thereof is provided. The method includes determining dressing conditions by performing a simulation of a distribution of a sliding distance of the diamond dresser on a surface of the polishing member, and dressing the polishing member with the diamond dresser under the dressing conditions determined. The simulation includes calculation of the sliding distance corrected in accordance with a depth of the diamond particles thrusting into the polishing member. |
