X will load all MCAM files, all the way back to GE3, but if a shop is
running anything earlier than X, we are screwed as far as tool paths go.

Thank God for ACIS files (sometimes)...

But, as another issue;

Some of the ACIS files produced with Inventor load fine in Solidworks and
SurfCAM, but are just a mess in MCAM.

Any tips or advice?
