When is STEP available?

• Basic STEP capability has been available since
  December 1994.
• 12 Parts registered as ISO 10303 international
  standards in December 1994. This is the Initial
  Release.
• This includes 2 APs (Part 201) address the
  exchange of 2D drawing data and (Part 203) 3D
  design data under configuration control and
  included in the 12 parts.
• Continuing STEP development schedule is
  aggressive (as of 1/1/96)
• 10 APs are in different stages of ballot cycle
  to be standardized.
• 7 additional APs have industrial validation and 3
  of them are technically complete.
• 11 new APs have been approved as active
  development projects.

STEP Usage and Implementation

• Many companies are experimenting with various
  implementations, several are at the pilot or
  production usage stage.
• Some commercial CAD vendor translators are
  available, with many more are under development
  UNIGRAPHICS, CATIA, ProEngineer.
• Many commercial software toolkits are available
  for development, STEP browsing, and
  implementation.
• Training and consulting services are commercially
  available for STEP development and implementation.
