Typically, STEP can be used to exchange data between CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM/enterprise data modeling and other CAx systems. However even today both formats co-exist and data in IGES and STEP represent lion share of all CAD files. STEP has been initially designed with the idea to supersede the IGES format (which was the first broadly used vendor-neutral CAD file format). STEP or "Standard for the Exchange of Product model data" is also referred as ISO 10303.
