importing Mastercam art files in Rhino

[sdantonio]

Is there a way to save a mastercam art (MCA v9) file and then import it into Rhino for further editing and eventual export to visual mill.

I have a number of MC Art projects that I would like to incorporate into larger Rhino projects and then export them to VM5 as one piece.

(I posted this question to the McNeel usenet forum with no responce yet, s I'll give it a shot here too)

Thanks

Once you open the Art file in Mastercam, you should be able to export it as any type of file you like. Did you try it?

sdantonio you will not beable to output the art file as an Iges or DXF.
I can't remeber in V9 of art if we had the option to out put to MC a surface file like we have these days then you could do Iges with lots of little surfaces.

if you can work with STL then you save that and use in Rhino.
