I did a quick test with MLCAD 3.11 and noticed the following:
(Opened a partfile in MLCAD and save it under a different filename
and then compared the two files)
MLCad adds two rotation commands to the header
0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 "Custom"
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
MLCad replaces every
0 BFC INVERTNEXT
with
0 BFC CERTIFY INVERTNEXT
No harmfull things are:
MLCad removes unnesseccary spaces and empty lines
MLCad replaces numbers as 3.10 with 3.1
MLCad replaces numbers as .123 with 0.123
