Development of SXF Browser for Modifying CAD Drawings

Abstract

•y Abstract•zThe SXF (SCADEC eXchange Format) which conforms to the ISO 10303-202 (STEP/AP-202) will be adopted for the electronic delivery of CAD drawings in the Japanese construction industry in future; therefore, orderers will be reproducing on their displays electronically delivered CAD drawings with a STEP/AP202 browser offered by the Japan Construction Information Center (JACIC). Although JACIC developed STEP/AP202 browser , its basic functions are poor and there is no function for simple making correction of a drawing among the parties. Under the circumstances, the authors developed an SXF browser that is free from the shortcomings of the STEP/AP202 browser developed by SCADEC and that adds the function that supports drawing.
