Import gerbers from Altium to PCB Editor 16.6

Hi.

I work with ORCAD PCB Designer Professional 16.6. I tried to import gerbers from altium (with .GBL, . GBS, .GML, .GTL, .GTO, .GTP, .GTS) but I couldn't.

So, it is possible to import that altium gerber files to this version of PCB Editor?

If it is possible, how can I do that?

And if it is not possible, it is possible in other version of PCB Editor or do I need some tool independently PCB Editor version?

I was once asked to convert an existing design that was only available as Gerber files and a schematic in paper form. I had to create the schematic again in OrCAD Capture and then used a gerber viewer that could export gerber to DXF. Then, using OrCAD PCB Editor, I imported the DXF into a new empty layer and used that as a background template for the converted design.

Thanks. I thought about doing the same but I didn't have time, so, I gave up.
