    You can rework a gm file, rename and change the extension to .nc, then you can select Import and select that file type .nc in the drop down list, browse and select your file to import. Keep in mind this file will be slightly larger in the outside profile and smaller for the inside shapes by the kerf width, you will need to edit the nodes to delete the leadins and then check to see that all shapes are closed by going to Edit > Select by > Open Objects. If you have open shapes they will need to closed, then you can make any changes required, Make Path and then create your tool path.
