SUBSYSTEM OVERVIEW

STEP Format Processing (SFMT) Subsystem

The SFMT subsystem generates formatted processing reports. Reports can include file_headers, error counts, entity counts, etc. Format specifiers are used to access this information as follows:

%<HeaderSection>

Every entity in the STEP header section of the current model.

%<STEPEntitySummary>

STEP Entity listing by type and form with description and count for the current model. A variable of type MDA_PTR is required as an argument and will be formatted as a DE number.

Before using these format specifications step_Initialize must be called and an STEP model must be active. See the mpm_intro man page for details of using format specifiers.
