[step-manufacturing] Two additions/corrections Minutes of Conference Call #20

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

Two corrections to the minutes below.

1. The link to the Boeing Metal Boxy is incorrect. The text is right but 
the underlying URL is wrong for some weird reason. Here is a correct 
version.

2. The minutes for this conference call are now uploaded and can be 
viewed at the URL below.

Have a great trip to NIST and see you on Wednesday.

Martin

The part has been machined in steel by Boeing.

NIST has edited the STEP-NC setup data in Boxy so that each setup will 
have the same machine coordinates when it machines the part next week.

Alain Brail has made a proposal to simplify the syntax of STRL's. STEP 
Tools will modify the STRL software in the STEP-NC Explorer to meet 
these specifications.

STEP Tools has started to update the STEP-NC Explorer to process 
drilling operation data. A first prototype has been produced for tapping 
operations. The prototype reads hole patterns made by the ap238export 
dll for Mastercam and writes tapping codes for the Siemens 840D.

add to Mastercam chooks directory)

The next conference call will be after the NIST meeting.

The recording of this call has not yet been posted. The recoding of the 
previous call is below.
