Get the Beta (free for 30 days) version of NcPlot ( www.ncplot.com ).

Open the (.cnc) file, then "Save As..." (.nc).

When you tried to convert the file extension, what are the steps you tried?

Open BobCAD/CAM
Open the NC Side of the Software be clicking on the Green Milling Machine Icon.
Go to File Open
In the Extention Drop Down Box at the Bottom you will see this File extention.

NC*.cnc, *.txt

That is the one you want.

Then Save As a TEXT.txt, CNC Files .cnc, NC Templates .nct, and Compressed NC .cnc

Save as a Text to open in Note Pad
