[step-manufacturing] NX support letter: Conference call today

[Martin Hardwick]

Ian and Professor Suh,

My apologies I should have been more sensitive to your concerns. STEP-NC 
was first coined as a term for ISO 14649. We harmonized ISO 14649 with 
STEP to create AP238.

In this first round of implementation we are asking the vendors to 
implement a common core of STEP-NC which is:

1. The STEP models for geometry, topology, GD&T and facets.
2. The STEP-NC models for the tool path process data and program 
structure data.
3. The ISO 13399 model for tooling data.

We have made very effective use of this common core in our STEP 
manufacturing experiments, particularly for Boxy and Moldy, which are a 
sequence of AS-IS and TO-BE models of the geometry, before and after 
each operation.

STEP-NC is no different to the other standards. There are always 
disagreements on the more advanced features that are resolved with 
experience.
