Just a random find. If you need to go from gcode back to the drawing board.

BTW, I have seen a option like this in FreeCAD somewhere as well.

Import gcode (?)
And same with .stl

FreeCad will load a .nc and .stl, but to get that into a sketch that you can edit is a headache, if possible at all. Finally found a marco today that takes .dxf and places it an editable sketch.

Skorchworks has a lot of interesting stuff; his latest project is a dongle less replacement for the pirated Corel based K40 laser software
