STEP ToyBox: STEP Migration Tool

This is a tool which reads two EXPRESS schema files and a STEP Instance file which conforms to one of the EXPRESS schema files. It then analyzes the differences between the two schema files to determine how to mutate an instance file into one that conforms to the second schema file. Finally it applies that information to the STEP instance file thereby producing a new STEP instance file that conforms to the second schema file.

Known Limitations

• Can't handle complex changes like an attribute being replaced with a chain of entities.
• New attributes have their value set to $ since it has no way to determine what an appropriate value should be.
• Attributes where the type has been changed to an incompatible type get assigned the value $ just like new attributes
