[step-manufacturing] Renton Conference Call #10

[Martin Hardwick]

  All,

What should be our last conference call for this round of demonstrations 
will be this Wednesday. The proposed agenda is as follows. See below for 
connection details.

1. Final review of the test data set. In this version a second fixture 
with a spacer has been added to the data set for setup's 2, 3 and 4. 
Before viewing this data you must load the latest version of the STEP-NC 
Explorer (8.72 or later) because it has logic necessary to manage two 
fixtures in the new scheme.

2. Discussion of how to manages fixtures and machining compensation. In 
STEP-NC the fixture can be positioned to give the perfect location and 
orientation to the part, but in practice the physical setup may not be 
perfect which is the reason why the setup needs to be compensated.

3. Final review of the remaining action items before the meeting.
