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

The first edition had the title: "

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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
