Dear Lex,
Have a look at
http://www.steptools.com/library/standard/
and read what the "42" means (what do you say, HAL ?)
We use an interface for AP 214 "Core Data For Automotive Production".
It ranslates between Unigraphics and Pro-E without MAYOR problems.
(Just eats associativity in solid models and lettters in drawings).
The transfer of the solid - essential to RP - is no problem.
With kind regards

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.
Regards,
Lex Lennings.
