Because STEP is a hell of a standard and non-free, too. It encompasses much more than 3D mechanical data and aims to cover every aspect of every product. The standard itself is closed source. You have to pay real money and sign a NDA document to receive a copy. I once tried figure, how a cube as a 3D equivalent to "hello-world" would look like in STEP format. There was lots and lots information available _on_ STEP but none on the actual syntax. Going the freecad way would avoid this kind of hassle. > According to my Aerspace related partners, DXF has almost nothing to > apport to 3D CAD. true. ---<)kaimrtin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
