STEP-NC

Hi,

G-code going to be the next dinosaur?

Anyone has any substantial experience with STEP-NC?

extracts from
http://www.steptools.com/library/stepnc/index.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STEP-NC changes the way that manufacturing is done by defining data
as "working steps": a library of specific operations that might be
performed on a CNC machine tool. In other words, it breaks down every
machining operation into the steps required to perform the operation.
In the past, CNC machine tools had to be programmed using G and M
codes (from ISO 6983), which were instructions that only told the
machine what moves to make, without any semantic content that
referred to the part being processed. STEP-NC will make G and M codes
obsolete.

Will like to hear from anyone who has ever used STEP-NC
