Shtolo – Converting STEP Short Listings to Annotated Listings

A STEP Application Protocol includes an AIM EXPRESS Annotated Listing. An Annotated Listing is created by combining the Short Listing and any objects from STEP Integrated Resource Parts that are referenced from the Short Listing either directly or indirectly. A number of transformations are performed on the resulting model, which is then formatted and printed. In the past, this process has been carried out by hand. This document describes Shtolo, a tool to automate this process. Shtolo conforms to EXPRESS Part 11 and The Supplementary Directives for the Drafting and Presentation of ISO 10303 allowing direct inclusion of the result into an Application Protocol specification. Shtolo relies on the NIST EXPRESS Toolkit and the NIST EXPRESS Pretty Printer.
