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 STEP API 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:
-
STEPXML Outbound Parameters (here) - many STEPXML options are available as parameters in the Export Manager and an OIEP
-
STEPXML Tags and Examples (here) - Advanced STEPXML tags can be included in an XML template in the Export Manager and an OIEP
-
Creating a Data Import (here) - files created with STEPXML and Advanced STEPXML formats can be processed by Import Manager
-
Creating an Inbound Integration Endpoint (here) - files created with STEPXML and Advanced STEPXML formats can be processed by an IIEP
