    Hi CG - What is MC8? If its Mastercam and you have the Gcode then you need software that converts gcode to geometry. If its mastercam geometry and you have MC then you can export it as an stl file. Peter

    Sure, there are many losses. STL is almost clean geometry only.
    So, don't delete your initial source file.
