June 2012 is a high date in the evolution...

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.
