DATAKIT is fully involved in the current activities around
STEP AP242, in particular the
LOTAR/CAx-IF work-shop which will take place in Toulouse (France) on June 26-28, 2012.
The current target is to establish the content of
AP242E1 (Edition 1, the first version of AP242), proposed as an
ISO standard. Current works are dedicated to the preparation of AP242E1 for the
DIS (draft international standard) ballot, its definition will then be close to the finally published standard.
The purpose is to make STEP AP242 suitable to support
high level exchanges and archivals of CAD data. Especially in the domains of
PMI (graphical display, semantic description),
Tessellation.
