I just started my intern in an EDA company. Can any one help me understand the statements(schema actually) of a '.stp' file?? Basically how the 3D object is formed when we read in a STEP file viewer(e.g. IDA-STEP) ?

For example

#1=CARTESIAN_POINT('',(0.E0,5.15E-1,0.E0));
#2=DIRECTION('',(0.E0,1.E0,0.E0));
#3=DIRECTION('',(-1.E0,0.E0,0.E0));
#4=AXIS2_PLACEMENT_3D('',#1,#2,#3);
...

how these statements are working? and forming a 3D shape? I have searched a lot through google but did not find any good documentation related to this.

Thanks in advance.

Rosy
