It may not be the best place for this question but I have found something strange with Repetier and Netfabb.
I generate my STL in CAD (using Catia V5) and occasionnaly I rotate the parts using Repetier (my preference) or Netfabb.
After manipulating my parts in either of the above SW and exporting it back to STL I get considerably smaller files.
As an example an STL file which originally will have a size of 7.7MB (from Catia) now has a size of 1.4MB.
What is lost in the process? Would it affect the quality of the print if I slice a file manipulated in Repetier or Netfabb?
