Are there any program that be be used to read a .CAM file and pull measurements from the program.

Where I work we cut some elliptical holes that must have their size verified before cut. It would be benefical to have a reader program that let's you view the plot (not just the code) and take measurements off of it. That way someone who is not trained to write .CAM files can determine if the cut size for a previously written program is correct.

Can you be more specific about the source of your .CAM files? This type of file extension is unfortunately not unique.
 
The files are produced by fast cam, not a digital camera.
