NIST/ECRC STEP Current Development Status

NIST/ECRC When is STEP available? vBasic STEP capability has been available since December  12 Parts registered as ISO international standards in December This is the “Initial Release”.  This includes 2 AP’s (Part 201) address the exchange of 2D drawing data and (Part 203) 3D design data under configuration control and included in the 12 parts. vContinuing STEP development schedule is aggressive (as of 1/1/96)  10 AP’s are in different stages of ballot cycle to be standardized.  7 additional APs have industrial validation and 3 of them are technically complete.  11 new APs have been approved as active development projects.
