1. How to show CAM/CNC inter-operability

To demonstrate inter-operability we will use UGS to define the
roughing and semi-finishing operations and Mastercam to define the
probing and finishing operations. The two files will be merged by
cutting and pasting workingsteps between AP-238 files. Any issues
found will be recorded and used to improve the standard or the best
practices for using the standard.  

2. How to demonstrate the new CLM method is easy to use

We will paste sticky tape at random on the semi-finished part and let
the operator measure the displacement by selecting a pre-programmed
probing working step from a selection already in the system. The
converter will display the displacement and let the user decide if
this displacement should be used to program the compensation register
for the finishing workingstep. 

3. Publicity Material

NIST will begin work on a scenario document for the Eastec
demonstration. Boeing will use this document to create a publicity
poster. STEP Tools will prepare a one page flyer highlighting the
major features of the demonstration for those who do not need to know
the details. 

Action Items:
* STEP Tools to deliver test files to NIST for testing on the 840D and
  Millplus controls. 
* STEP Tools to implement a tool to cut and paste data between AP-238 files.
* NIST to develop the scenario document.
* Boeing to prepare the poster.
* UGS to develop test data for the roughing and semi-finishing operations.

The next telcon will be at 2PM on Thursday April 5th.
