STEPXML Import and Export Options

The native STEPXML format can be used to import and export data and data types. The STEPXML format uses parameters to generate STEPXML template. This allows users with limited XML knowledge to create a STEPXML template, which can be further modified with tags not included as a parameter option.

All STEPXML parameters are represented by Advanced STEPXML tags. As indicated in the table below, some tags are explained in the linked online help topics. All Advanced STEPXML tags are fully documented in an XSD (XML Schema Definition) file linked from the Technical Documentation within the STEPXML section, available at [system]/sdk or accessible from Start Page.

General information about using the tools, formats, and the parameters or tags are included in these topics:
