This came from the Master Cam Website

"Built-in data translators for IGES,
Parasolid®, SAT (ACIS solids),
AutoCAD® (DXFTM, DWG, and
InventorTM files), SolidWorks®, Solid
Edge®, CADL, STL, VDA, and ASCII.
Direct translators for STEP, Catia®,
and Pro-E® are also available."

So it looks like you don't need to but you may want to try it first. You also have the option of saving it as a different file format like IGES. Most cam software will read that.
