That's correct I have the PE version, I have never used .stl files. I just use it as for "modelling".

Dave,

A quick google search suggests FreeMill might be able to read .stl files and generate gcode http://www.mecsoft.com/freemill.shtml

If you get the urge to give it a try with the output from PE please let me know how it turns out. Or maybe upload a .stl file and I'll download it and the play with FreeMill and see what happens. It looks like it will render what the tool path might be so I might be able to see what the mill would have done.
