it should work when you use a ROP Output Driver and when your file has on the end .stl

you just have to test the dimension with if they are correctly imported in to the 3d Printing program.

sorry for the delay i didn't see that you made a post ops:

Made a File so you can look how it's done (it's very simple). just check on the final File in your CAD or preferred Online service that everything is fine.

hmm you have H15 sent me a copy of your H15 and then we can see.. ;-) *just joking*

you normal can open the hipnc files but you can't convert it to hip.
if it doesn't work download the H14 Build and then open the file so you can see how simple it is to make .stl files.

or did you mean something else with NC? do you get NC file from a cad system?
