We viewed the web page of an article on our meeting in Orlando.

We discussed strategies for starting a second edition of ISO 10303-238 
STEP-NC. Two documents that have been prepared.

The first edition had the title: " Application interpreted model for 
computerized numerical controllers". It was suggested that the second 
edition should have the title: "Integratedmodel for digital manufacturing".

The strategy for developing the first edition was to enable the 
development of a solution using STEP technology so we formed a team 
within the ISO working group that was developing Application Protocols. 
The second edition needs wider attention. We have 10 years of testing 
and shown the benefits. Therefore, we propose to create a joint working 
group of all the interested parties. This may include TC184/Sc4, - the 
ISO home of STEP, TC261 -the ISO home of additive manufacturing, TC29 - 
the ISO home of cutting tools and TC184/Sc1- the ISO home of 
manufacturing machines.

TC184/Sc1 and TC29 have meetings in April with members of 
STEP-Manufacturing attending. We will suggest the formation of a new 
joint working group at these meetings.

We reviewed the schedule for developing the three test parts. The GE 
bracket is on schedule. Issues remain to be fixed for the CATIA export 
for the CDS part. We have not yet been able to make a XML plan for Boxy. 
Mitutoyo is making progress on developing tolerances for the CDS part 
but we are having new issues in the AP238 export for Siemens.
