Mastercam comes with the software required to "convert" various files

These are an "Add-on", and require a code to activate the convertor. Being a 3rd party add-on, it is an additional cost

You can buy a car with the holes/recesses ready to mount the driving/fog lights, but you still have to buy the lights

Best solution, is to save the Catia file in another format in CATIA, so that can be imported into Mastercam eg IGES, STEP etc.

I think in V9.1 the STEP converter also needed a code to have it activated
