That said, in the real world there are plenty of people who don't want to use it, for whatever reason. I've got customers who insist that they'd rather use a not-yet-written reverse-engineered Parasolid X_T exporter than a well-tested STEP exporter that's been around a decade.
- rjsw 10y agoWe also get people coming along every few years who argue that because there are some people not using STEP we should start again from scratch. They are very enthusiastic for a while until they realize how much work is involved and they give up, having wasted a fair bit of time in standards meetings. I think there is scope for some disruption from small companies willing to use STEP as the internal data model for their software but just working on small parts of the picture.
