STEP has been some kind of a myth during the last years: it should
be there soon and then solve all geometry exchange problems.
I have never yet seen it work in practice, however one keeps hoping.
(we do use both IGES and STL)

Now the above makes by a bit suspicious:
what is STEP part 42 ?
Does this mean that there are now at least 42 versions, and if yes
are they compatible ?
Anybody out there having experience whether or not it does indeed work ?

Looking forward to some clarification: thanks in advance.

Lex Lennings.
