    Industry supported tool table formats

    I'm looking for information on any industry or ISO supported common tool table exchange formats that may exist. Failing a common format, I would also be interested in any tool table formats that the top leaders in the CAM software market may be providing for exporting and transferring tool table information. I'm hoping there is a text base or XML based format that can serve as a common medium that can be promoted among the software providers of CAM software, motion software, and utility writers for maintaining and exchanging tool table data between packages.

    My initial googling has not turned up anything. I'm hoping someone might be able to point me to such information.

    I'm subscribing to this thread because I am interested also in finding a 'tool table format'. APT may have used a format of some kind, I would start looking there.
