      Ian and Professor Suh,<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      In this first round of implementation we are asking the vendors to
      implement a common core of STEP-NC which is:<br>
      <br>
      1. The STEP models for geometry, topology, GD&T and facets. <br>
      2. The STEP-NC models for the tool path process data and program
      structure data.<br>
      3. The ISO 13399 model for tooling data.<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      STEP-NC is no different to the other standards. There are always
      disagreements on the more advanced features that are resolved with
      experience.<br>
