Backplotting g code files

[Nappy1]

Has anyone ever used or know of a program that will take g code and make it an exportable file like stl, dxf, or eps?

Nappy1-- I use other software which works very well in converting my gcode (.tap) files to dxf files, but I have to eliminate the verticle z moves if I am going to use it as a dxf to alter and recut (also have to move the plane of z back to zero)-- Jack

I did a little surfing, and found a good one. PlotNC is the name. I couldn't believe how well it worked. So I purchased it. A big $75. The originator says he never thought of making it convert to .stl files but its not too hard to do so he probably will. They have a trial download.
